Windy City Cannabis - Homewood

If you're in the Chicagoland area there is no place to go for your medicinal marijuana needs other than Windy City Cannabis💯...do not go to the Mission DISPENSARY in Calumet City... Shop in Homewood,you'll thank me later.Look and compare both menus, the Mission dispensary is a joke compared to WCC in so many ways, I shopped at both for close to 4 years but now it's just strictly Windy City cannabis after the mission ripped me off one to many times, the nerve of them to sell flower that's 11 months old for premium prices.Greedy ignorant fools that have no business in the Cannabis industry but got in for one reason and one reason only and it isn't to help people rather rip off people in their own community and ones that come out of state. Anyway Windy City cannabis has a better selection and they don't sell you flower that is close to a year old like Mission dispensary continuously does because ,they truly do not care about their customers... Also when I get weed from Mission dispensary the seal is always broken opposed to Windy City Cannabis ..it's actually difficult to peel off, that's how you know it hasn't been tampered with, I know a lot of people in the Illinois cannabis market complain about that one... and it always weighs 3.7 when the seal is tight so the only thing most can think of is they're taking 0.2 out of every 8th or cherry picking the nugs . I'm done with the mission dispensary in Calumet City !!! Glad I'm able to help somebody not have a bad experience rather a good one.. Lastly they actually told me not to order off of Leafly so I don't even know why they're on here , about a month ago they wouldn't sell me what I ordered and made me order it off their website but it confirmed it on Leafly gave me a price and said it was ready to pick up it was marked 20% off they made me reorder it and I didn't get the 20% off. You don't have to worry about that kind of stuff happening to you at Windy City... It's the only dispensary my family will shop at from now on ... When I'm in Chicago, even if I'm downtown I'll hit the highway and drive a little South to come out to Homewood because again they always have the freshest flower and the best deals... They're not agreed machine like most dispensaries ...they actually give people the opportunity to buy premium Products for a good deal and for that they are the best. 👽🪩🤘🏼

Before you even enter security staff in the parking lot and at the front door treat you as if you're visiting an inmates in a correction facility. Long lines with only three working registers.

The staff are nice enough … but if you go to this location, wear sunscreen, bring plenty of water and a parasol because it’s very likely you will be standing in the blazing sun for an hour. It’s the pits.

This place is amazing! I’ve been here twice now and the atmosphere is awesome! The employees and the customers are great! Who knew standing outside in line could be so fun! (I’m being dead serious!) Today was my birthday and the security guards and staff made me feel extra special. Char was my bud tender and I had a very pleasant experience with her. She even noticed an error on my pricing from a previous purchase and instructed me on how to get it fixed. I would absolutely recommend the Homewood Windy City to everyone and I will be back! Thank you Windy City!

Pre-Ordering means nothing. Walk ups get to crowd the lines, while anyone who pre-ordered gets to stand in line with them. Had a reservation for 6-7, got there at 6:30, had a line passed the building, MOST OF WHICH WERE WALK UPS. Told everyone it didnt matter if you pre ordered or not if you dont get in by 7 too bad. Stood in line for 20 min to be told "go home" Very disrespectful to anyone who took time and put in a pre order. They shouldn't let walk ups come that late, let alone let them in before the pre orders. WHATS THE POINT OF PRE ORDERING IF IT MEANS NOTHING!!!!! FIX THIS

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! THIS DISPENSARY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO BUY MORE THAN 7 GRAMS OF FLOWER IN 1 DAY EVEN IF YOU HAVE AVAILABLE UNITS. THIS PECULIAR POLICY IS INCREDIBLY INCONVENIENT. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! I have never seen any other dispensary with this incredibly inconvenient policy EXCEPT AT OTHER “WINDY CITY CANNABIS” LOCATIONS. At every other dispensary I have been to (MedMen, Verilife, etc.), if you have available units, you can buy whatever you want. NOT HERE THOUGH. I thought maybe this weird policy was just at the Windy City Cannabis Posen location, but I called and confirmed this policy also exists here as well as at the Windy City Cannabis Worth location too. I AM 100% NOT COMING TO ANYMORE WINDY CITY CANNABIS LOCATIONS ANYMORE.

First time patient and customer. Great experience and staff. Thank you!

After going here for about 3 years, recreational has addded hostile security and unmasked employees approaching cars for IDs. Worst was when their guard, Delwin Gadlen made a false police report and they banned me because I told the guard he should be wearing a mask. HPD made it go away, prob b/c Delwin was 5 days away from his CPD promotion to Field Training Officer. No response from Windy City after multiple emails and messages via Facebook. No investigation by Homewood Police of a hostile, threatening armed guard on multiple cameras that called in a false 9–1-1.

I'd been checking the online menu constantly, as well as calling and emailing to find out when flower would be available. Was told to check the online menu for availability. Seems like they almost never have any! I eventually got tired of waiting and broke down to buy 2 vape pens. When I got there I paid for the vapes. Right after they brought my order out an employee said "We just got flower." I immediately tried to exchange since I'd never left their sight --they wouldn't let me! An employee there also gave me the contradictory message to DRIVE TO THE DISPENSARY TO CHECK ON SUPPLY/AVAILABILITY instead of going by the online menu...WTF! Also had a very unsatisfactory call with one of their managers. Immediately switched dispensaries! I'll never spend my money there again!

Dope employees and after trying several items I figured out what I like most and its always a hit!

Employees were beyond rude

I used to like this dispensary very much but since recreational legalization it has gone from a lovely experience to absolutely terrible. The problem mostly lies with the horrendous security staff. They are wildly unprofessional and unpleasant. Barking orders to customers parking or waiting in line and ridiculously rude overall. I was particularly disturbed by the guy in the parking lot that kept flashing his firearm for no reason. The customers were all courteous and behaving well. I cannot believe how bad the experience is now. Certainly they can afford to hire PROFESSIONAL and courteous security. I am actively searching for another source. VERY disappointing.

Very friendly and caring Customer service was fast for being my first time shopping and did not pre-order online overall was very satisfied

I have been a customer since they opened 4 years ago. Management and staff were knowledgeable, courteous and kind. I was on a first named basis. After recreational the customer experience has deteriorated dramatically. While some familiar faces remain, most of the new staff and security have deplorable social skills. Specials are gone (I get it...). Not once this year have I come out with my choice of meds. Menus are not updated, it might make more sense to list what you actually have available 😉

the people here are great and very knowledgeable just wish they kept more flower & concentrates on the rec menu.

This was my first Illinois dispensary. Compared to my new dispensary, WCC is more expensive, less customer service oriented, and had less (almost none, in fact) paraphernalia for sale. I don’t expect fine glasswear, but a few basic chillums would be nice. I do feel that the employees here put forth more effort to “educate” me, but when an employee tried to invoke aroma therapy in a conversation re: the efficacy of terpenes ... [ahem] Aroma therapy is a pseudo-science at best and in actuality probably boils down to placebo fishing. If the cannabis industry continues to align itself with snake-oil then they’re going to have a tough time in the future. [end rant]. They don’t seem to be able to keep their online menu straight and up to date. At time of review most cartridges listed under concentrates, but there’s still some cartridges listed under “cartridges”. To further confuse issues they don’t seem to be able to get cartridge sizes listed properly. Sure, I can imagine a worse experience, but having been to 4 dispensaries total (2 in state, 2 out of state) this is the worse one.

I have been a patient for over four years. The prices have increased with inventory levels low. Three weeks ago I wanted some gold leaf flower , plus three other strains. Only 1/8 was in stock. I can't get an orange chocolate bar in the past month. The specials are normally gone after a few days. If I can't get what i want or need now how is that going to improve once recreational sales start. The personal touch is missing. It seems like patients are rushed to place an order. I get tired of hearing i'm sorry we don't have that. I have always given positive feedback up until now.

great experience, friendly workers, good product. the wait isn't long at all, they are pretty efficient.

Literally have made it here 3 times to be told recreational sales are done whenever they decide, basically. This honestly is a joke.

Never been

This place was awesome. Understandably long line but they were doing the best they could. Unfortunately I was limited to what I was able to purchase I would shop here again.

I love this location and it’s staff. They’re great!

People are very helpful and friendly!!

The staff is really great. I don't want to switch dispensaries solely because they are just that great. They are quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. Feels like family. I wish there were more edibles though. I don't like smoking. And I wish they had deals on purchasing multipes of one thing like some other locations. Hopefully their inventory will improve.
