Dispensaries in Illinois sell medical marijuana to registered patients. They can stock any kind of cannabis product as long as it goes through state-mandated inspection. That means Illinois dispensaries can provide a wide variety of medicinal items, including bud, concentrates and topicals. The trained staff will help you find a medication that works for your condition.
To provide their patients a higher level of care, many dispensaries offer additional health services. Some have community outreach events that educate the public about medical marijuana. Patients at certain dispensaries can attend events that teach them about general health issues.
