Perception Cannabis

Mark was great! Helpful not only with my order, but when I mentioned I was new to the area, they gave me some pointers for things I was looking for in the neighborhood. Super sweet and amazing prices! – oliver

I love this dispensary it reminds me of the Michigan dispensaries where everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Perception cannabis is a whole other look, vibe, feel, and atmosphere than any other Chicago or Evanston dispensary. This is my second time here and already my favorite dispensary in the city hands down and is worth the travel from Davis in Evanston for me. My bud tender mark was a knowledgeable and kind young man with whom I talked about the product I was buying and he confirmed that the vape I had chosen was a good brand and a good smoke. I encourage everyone to try perception cannabis. & If you get mark as your bud tender you’re in great hands. The rest of the staff is wonderful as well! Did I mention daily deals? I’m going to shut up about it but seriously what are you waiting for? JUST GO TO PERCEPTION CANNABIS ALREADY! Ps try the marmas bar vapes! 😊😅💛 – Aquafina Mami

Mark was my cashier today, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, efficient, and made the whole checkout process quick and pleasant. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and cares about providing great service. It’s small interactions like this that make a big difference. Thank you, Mark! – Curtis R

(Update: 3/2025) Maya, Ezra, and Mark are the best! They are both super friendly and Mark gave me some great recommendations for next time. Also, hooray for implementing a new medical discount / Medical Mondays! (Update: 2/2025) My last visit was mixed, but today's visit was very pleasant and every person I interacted with was so sweet and conversational, and the weekend discounts were a great incentive to stop by! I'll definitely be back. :) (Update: 1/2025) After visiting this dispensary a few times, I have updated my rating and review to better reflect my experiences and provide additional insight to potential visitors. Unfortunately, your experience will depend on the staff you interact with. Some of the staff members are very amicable, knowledgeable, and eager to help, while others are a bit unfriendly and standoffish. This is a facility that primarily caters to recreational users, but offers a discount to medical patients. If I recall correctly, it's around 10% for flower, but the discount will vary depending on product type. Additionally, if you are looking to place a pre-order, be aware that the website has quite a few bugs and it is not the most intuitive to use. Another minor frustration I had was not being able to interact with the gear products before buying anything – you are able to look at gear but you cannot touch the product to get a better sense of the quality of the material unless you purchase it – but this isn't atypical for any dispensary. – Ji Kim

Naya was excellent. Very helpful, very knowledgeable, very pleasant. Give her a raise! Also props to the woman selling Betty’s Eddies. Also very pleasant and knowledgeable (even though I did not buy any, I had come for a different product). – Tim McCarthy
