Verilife Chicago River North – Cannabis Dispensary in Chicago, Illinois

Okay, so my friend was telling me about their experience at this place. You know, trying to find a good cannabis dispensary in River North. They ended up checking out Verilife cannabis dispensary in River North. They had a few different interactions, and the staff really seem to make a difference. Sammy, Justin, Heather, and Bea? Apparently, they are the absolute best! These folks really give the place a home feel because they are so nice and courteous. They always stop and answer questions with a smile, even if they're busy. They never seem bothered by the rush or if there's an issue; they're always calm and more than eager to help in any way. Honestly, seeing Sammy apparently makes you smile. She's described as the sweetest, nicest, and most professional person you'll ever meet. Someone's first interaction at the store was her complimenting their shoes the moment they walked in, which made them their favorite shoes! They said only someone amazing who thinks of others like she does would do that. Other staff members got big shoutouts too. Reel (or Rell) was very knowledgeable and took great care of a customer. Heather was super helpful in ensuring someone got the best products for their budget and gave good recommendations on her favorites. Tara was also great and super helpful, making things super fast, especially when getting stuff on sale. Tara is apparently very friendly and helpful during interactions, and one reviewer said truly, all the staff are friendly and helpful! Rell was also called sweet and helpful on another visit. Miles was a champion – natural conversation and great service, plus keeping customers informed on all the promotions so they didn't miss out. Even B and Andrea, who were nice to work with and sounded well versed, were mentioned early on. Now, there was one specific product issue someone ran into. B and Andrea had recommended 2g of concentrate as their personal favorites. But when the reviewer opened the jars, there was no color, just pure white rock hard Badder. This hash had almost no smell and absolutely no flavor, very reminiscent of smoking pure diamonds. The reviewer felt it was pretty worthless and said they would never recommend buying that specific house brand hash. Despite that one product hiccup, the location itself, being a recreational cannabis dispensary in River North, is clean and very big with lots of selection. All the staff a reviewer spoke to were kind and knowledgeable. Heather helping at the counter was described as an absolute delight; she knew the products well and was fun to talk to. Prices are reasonable overall, though taxes are high – but that's just being a cannabis dispensary in Illinois in general and not specific to this store. Getting stuff on sale made the prices great for one person. They also have a really good rewards program, which is a nice perk. Overall, it sounds like many people had a great experience. Several reviewers said "Let's goo!!" and are definitely coming back. It seems like a great spot, especially with staff like Sammy, Justin, Heather, Bea, Tara, Reel/Rell, and Miles making it feel so welcoming, even with the high Illinois taxes and that one weird batch of house concentrate. Seems like the positive vibes from the staff outweigh the downsides for most people.
