The best Chicago cannabis products for your 420
With 4/20 stores, Leafly sent me on a mission to find the best weed products in the Windy City. And with stocks low, it was time to explore Chicago and think about what I needed to get me through a long day of April 20th celebrations.
Unfamiliar with the options in town, I turned to Leafly’s list of the best pharmacies in Chicago. And as a resident of Southside Chicago, I perused the list to look for the best option near me. To my surprise, Mission was not only one of the Southside options, but it was also only a short drive from my hair salon.
Flanked by my cannabis connoisseur aunt, we ventured to 8554 S. Commerical in the heart of the South Chicago neighborhood. There was a small line upon arrival in a Chicago spring chill, a sign to me that this is a trustworthy vendor. As I walked in I was greeted by a friendly member of staff who directed me to a lounge area where I could place my order via iPad.
The line moved quickly and there was plenty of literature (get it?) to give me the details on what new IL cannabis products to look out for in 2022. Along with my positive experiences, here are the products I thought would meet all of my 420 needs on the big day.
Pure Essentials Capsules
$28
If I’m realistic about my life and workload, there’s no way I’ll be ok on 4/20. can start and not take care of the business first.
I took Pure Essentials capsules to ease morning fatigue while getting in the party mood. The bottle of Momentum capsules contains ten capsules of 10mg sativa each, but they have many different strains for anyone interested in taking their first cannabis capsule on April 20th.
dr Dabber Boost Evo
A product of Leafly sponsored partners
The 20.04. is the perfect time to treat yourself to a hardware upgrade. For the ultimate dabbing experience, look no further than Dr. Dabber’s Boost Evo. Evo’s patented temperature-controlled heating element lets you dial in your experience for the best possible flavor from your favorite concentrates. With new features that take Evo’s usability to the next level, it’s ready to be your everyday rig.
Cann Hi Boy | Cranberry Sage
$28
I’m a fan of flavored drinks and was drawn to the nice design of a drink I’d never tried before – a cannabis-infused tonic. So the Cann Hi-Boy was an easy choice for me.
Fortified with 5 mg THC per can and 20 mg total for the pack, these 12 fl oz cannabis drinks from Cann immediately caught my attention with their all-natural cranberry sage option.
For $28 a four-pack, why not? The only obstacle in my selection was which flavor to try. The flavors I was most curious about were the Grapefruit Rosemary and my choice of Cranberry Sage.
After going through this four pack I’ll be sure to return for the grapefruit offering when the weather turns.

Terp Stix Infused Pre-Roll – Blueberry
$22.50
An indica-dominant hybrid, this pre-roll is my venture away from my comfortable sativa comfort zone. Somewhere in my 420 purchases I had to find a balance.
Maybe it’s because I’m a 2000s hip-hop kid who had a thing for Ludacris’ music, but every time I see Blueberry in a description, I jump at it.
The customer service team advised me that Terp Stix would provide a gentle burn and an appetite boost. But who doesn’t need good food?
Matter. 1:4 Sour Apple Gummy Bites
A product of Leafly sponsored partners
The 1:4 THC to CBD ratio in Matter’s Apple Sour Gummy Bites means that the CBD will give you an extra dose of full-body relaxation, while also activating an entourage effect that gets the most out of the THC. Because it doesn’t matter. By making these gummies with emulsified THC, you can expect a faster onset than traditional edibles. And don’t worry, the tart fruit flavor doesn’t disappoint.
A new mill
$30
For the hash holiday I needed a new grinder. The small plastic that I got as a gift some time ago no longer cuts off on me. I chose a faithful looking silver grinder that comes with a kief compartment.
The customer service rep who checked me out reminded me to always check the tray as there could be debris in that area. There won’t be any weeds over here. I will remember.

Cannabis Flower – Diesel (1 gram)

For traditional purposes, I explored Mission’s cannabis flower and landed on a gram of diesel for $14.40 before tax.
As much as I love the ease of edibles and pens, there’s something special about grinding up buds for papers, blunts, backwoods, or whatever your preferred way of lighting April 20th.

Doesn’t a pen called Love Affair just sound sexy?
To complete my order, this RHYTHM disposable pen packed with 300mg of sweet sativa is perfect for any on-the-go adventures I have in the later hours of April 20th. And in case you haven’t noticed, uplifting sativa strains are my thing. You keep me going
Packed with 75.81% THC, rounded off with a sweet berry flavor and an aroma that reminds me of cedarwood and roasted marshmallows. I told you it was sexy.
After trying this disposable vape, I can expect to return to this item many times during spring and summer. The Lakefront on a Sunday evening as the sun goes down has its name written all over it.
