Do’s and Don’ts
Shop in store, through a kiosk or online.
Going to a dispensary in a new state for the first time can be confusing. Below you can find some simple do’s and don’ts when visiting an Illinois Adult Use Cannabis Dispensary like Snap Canna for the first time!
Bring your state-issued photo ID - Workers can’t legally sell you anything from their cannabis store unless you have a valid state or federal issued photo ID that states you are 21 or older. Why? Well, weed is illegal for any person under the age of 21 in the state of Illinois.
Bring Payment - Some dispensaries only offer Cash as a payment method, at Snap Canna, we can also accept Debit Cards and have an ATM on site.
Know your limits - The State of Illinois has possession and purchase limits depending on if you are a resident of the state of Illinois or not. You must be able to prove you are an Illinois resident or you will default to the out of state limits. The limits are cumulative, meaning you can purchase and possess up to the limit in each category.
Illinois Residents
30 grams of Cannabis Flower
5 grams of Cannabis Concentrate
500mg of Cannabis Infused Products
Non-Residents
15 Grams of Cannabis Flower
2.5 Grams of Cannabis Concentrate
250mg of Cannabis Infused Products
No Grab & Go - This prevents people from walking into a recreational dispensary, grabbing weed, and making a run for it because that would be a terrible situation to deal with. Instead, even regulars are required to show a state ID every time before they can purchase cannabis from a cannabis store.
Ask Questions - We take pride in training our budtenders and hiring people that truly enjoy cannabis. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about Cannabis in general or your budtenders opinion on a product.
Be courteous - Don’t ever purchase weed from a recreational dispensary and then smoke it outside of the weed store. Not only is it not courteous, but it’s also not legal. You should go home to smoke the weed you purchase.
Figure out the reason you want cannabis – There are different types of weed that you can purchase from a recreational dispensary to fit the reason you are purchasing it. Some people want cannabis for pain or anxiety, while others want to use it just for fun.
Any questions, come into one of our Snap Canna locations in Elk Grove Village or Pontiac today.
