The first time I visited a dispensary, it was a RISE store north of Chicago. The staff there were exceptionally helpful... and made you feel comfortable to ask any questions, which they happily answered.Fast forward over half a year later (and slightly wiser), based on the positive experience of the first RISE store, I made a conscious effort to choose RISE as I passed through the state. This would be the second RISE I'd visit and they definitely delivered. I really enjoyed my visit, sharing my experience, while learning some stuff too. Definitely check them out if you're new or experienced if you want an atmosphere that just vibes.read more

Good selection being the only bright side to this place. Terrible wait times especially on online orders. By the time... the online order was even confirmed at least 50 recreational patients had been in and out of the building. Almost 3 hours of waiting on an online order that was submitted an hour prior to showing up to rise. Absolutely ridiculous. Online ordering system is almost as useless as the baked employees.read more

High quality products and the customer service is amazing. Very reasonable prices. They need better signage at... explaining what you have to do when you get inside. You have to order first from a kiosk or human and then go up to the window and get your order. That was really confusing the first time. Over all I loved it. I'll definitely be back.read more

Everyone is so invested in finding a product that works for whatever your needs are. Every time I've been in, all the... staff is super friendly and cheerful. Sometimes product consistency is a little lacking but since recreational use is so new in Illinois, that's just not having enough supply all around. The only place I've been to since the pandemic started that demands 100% mask compliance. Very thankful to have this place locally.read more

Thank goodness for this place! Became perfect timing on a cross country road trip. The prices aren’t ideal, $20 for 1g... pre-roll, usually get them for around $10 or less😬😬 but location and ease of making the online order, just what I needed. The line outside is a little awkward, but times are weird I know. Derek, such a bright and friendly budtender! He was very thorough, picking and triple checking that each preroll was present and in the bag. Sales tax hurt 😱🥴🙄 BUT my est. total online was $14 more than what I paid!! Not a huge selection here but the bud tenders have great energy and they seem very well organized. Thanks for helpin a girl out in a pinch!! May stop through again 😎😎🔥🔥read more

Sold me seedy weed at top shelf prices and refused to make it right. They admitted that they are aware of the seed... problem. Had MANY complaints, and their solution is to give you an eighth to make up for the seeds! REALLY?? I paid $420 for an ounce, got 8-12 seeds per eighth and too many seed pods to count, and you want to compensate me with an eighth!! I took my complaint all the way to Green Thumb Industries, to NO AVAIL! Never heard from the district manager of Rise Effingham, as promised. Then Rise changed the loyalty program and robbed me of all the points I saved. The people that service the customers are awesome. Upper management of this business are crooked as the day is long. If given the chance to rip you off THEY WILL!read more

Just go somewhere else if you can. They like to make customers wait an hour or more in line to pick up PRE-ORDERS. Why... require us to choose a pick-up time, then send a "ready" text if we have to wait an extra hour when we get there? It feels purposefully inconvenient. They rarely have flower, claiming a lack of availability, however it comes across as discrimination against recreational customers as opposed to medical. They need to get it together. They only have customers at all at the moment because the market hasn't had a chance to become saturated. Once more stores open up, RISE will fall.read more

I work in cannabis as well and would never treat a customer the way this guy did me.read more

This place has been out of recreational marijuana (flower) for months. It's a waste of time and money. People that work... there act like they are doing you a favor and treat everyone like they are above them. I have probably gone here 10 X since Feb because it's closest and it is getting worse and worse. Very unorganized and no regard for people waiting. The workers take their sweet time. Other places have a lot more staff and are actually respectful and fast. I've gone to other dispensaries during this time and they have ALL had flower ALL this time! You're Not trying your hardest Rise! Your comment is a lie. You just want to get rid of your overpriced Vapes and edibles before they expire. The disposable Vapes I've bought from you have run out of battery before product was gone. Some half full! Your service is horrible. I can't wait until more dispensaries open and put you out of business. Done with RISE aka marijuana dispensary with no marijuana!!read more

This chain will NOT honor their own ads. I showed them their ad in the store and they just said “i don’t know,... corporate sets the rules”. FALSE ADVERTISING! I called corporate to at least let them know that they should change their ad and the guy i spoke to said “well if you want to call about something we can help with, then call back” and then HUNG UP ON ME. This place is a joke. Never coming back. This kills me because this last time i was in, i was even hyping the place up to they guy behind me in line because it was his first time there. Now I regret saying anything good about this place. I’ll change this review if Rise makes this right. I try to give everyone a chance to right their wrongs.read more

Very discriminatory towards recreational users. I understand prioritizing medical supplies and reserving stock for... those with medical need, BUT they don't even offer the same choices to recreational users. In my opinion that is exclusory behavior and they are opening themselves up to lawsuits for discrimination.The staff is Awesome and the facility is nice. They just need to offer the same products to all even if they have to ration the amounts available to recreational users.read more

Personally I am a huge fan of The Clinic Effingham. I started doing business with them due to the reputation from... Oregon to Colorado, after meetings with Mr. Ross I knew the company was focused on quality and patient care. The manager Josh in Effingham is a totally awesome guy and the reason I will stay a committed customer. As the industry grows my profession will change to working for dispensaries. Scott Reach of Rare Dankness and Veritas will be providing game changing genetics which will be only at few dispensaries at first, one is The Clinic. No matter where you go in Illinois the pricing is insanity but that will change rapidly. The only issue I had was the state didn't have me in the system correctly and yes I had wasted trips and wasted money but I can't fault the dispensary. It was frustrating and a major disappointment but I choose to stay positive and not switch companies or blast negative comments.read more

Discovered this location on WeedMaps and it forward me to iHeartJane which had a menu of their current items. Was... pretty impressed with what they had to offer, but it was pretty far from where I Live. As a Veteran who will rather medicate with THC/CBD then any other treatment as I tried them all. The need for good flower and knowledge on other products is pretty crucial to me. I called first thing in the morning after I changed my Dispensary through IDHS. The gentleman who answered the phone was very friendly and knowledgeable. After I told him I changed my dispensary he had no problem with placing a few items on the side for me that will be awaiting me I once I arrived. After a lengthy trip I arrived at the location which was pretty easy to get to even with heavy traffic flow. Once through the doors I can honestly feel like I was at home. They spoke with excitement and everyone said welcomed to the family and they meant it. Spoke with two gentlemen at the window briefly explained my situation and they immediately began to in process me. Welcomed me to a lounge area that was really nice and I finished my paper work there. Even the Gentleman who I spoke with over the phone came and spoke with me and said he has my order and a lengthy stock and a full house of knowledgeable Bud Tenders. After I finished my paper work a Very kind Lady check it seen I was a Veteran and insured it was on my file and she Welcomed me to the back. It’s was unlike any experience I’ve ever had at a medical dispensary or even at a hospital or clinic. Each station was like a personal booth set up and they even had chairs which makes the experience even more comfortable. The Bud Tender said welcome and even called me by my name like he knew me, which in these customers service days is very rare. His knowledge on everything was extremely impressive and gave me a very detailed description on each product I was interested in. I was very comfortable to explain to him my struggles with PTSD and lack of sleep which is no sleep. He then began to educate me on strains and even alternative methods consuming other then flower consumption. I had my order ready and order 2 other items from the consultation with the BudTender. The prices were extremely fair and the ATM fee is only 2.50$ which is another advantage compared to others. Everyone spoke to me when I left, the energy was extremely good which would make me come back regardless of the experience after consuming. Once I arrived home, I tried a uplifting focus strain (Green Crack) that had me at home washing laundry cleaning up and just living. At night I tried the rest strain (White 99) and when I say I went straight to sleep after maybe 5 puffs I couldn’t believe the accuracy of the statins as I just learned about them the same day. The Clinic Effingham is exactly what it stands for, it’s not your typical dispensary or even clinic it’s Home to anyone who medicates with THC/CBD, you leave there feeling proud about your journey and struggles through life knowing there’s medication in the same category as fruits and vegetables that’s grown specifically for you. Thank you to everyone at The Clinic Effingham for the awesome experience and the medicated relief I finally don’t have to stress or worry about anymore. This will be my home dispensary. Thanks for reading.read more

Check out the Canton IL store or any of the Rise “GTI” owned stores up in the Chicago area. Effingham is the only dispensary around this area and it’s an hour to get there.

Really like most of staff here. Alex is great and very informative. Seems people come and go alot. They have gave me... product i was clearly not wanting (new people that didn't know much)and I have got two different products that was defective and I'm new. Idk if this is normal because this it the only dispensary ive been to but seriously considering switching. Longer drive but yeah. Way to expensive to get defective product. I have a sixty dollar cartridge that don't even work and a spray that leaked out everywhere. Good luck.read more

First time going and all went well until I arrived home to find my sealed container empty! We are expressly told not to... open our packages until we arrive safely back at our residence so you are not afforded the chance to check your order. After calling I was assured it would be made right, however this is a 90 minute round trip out of my way. Will update this review once / if the situation is rectified. UPDATE: The problem is resolved. The staff quickly fixed the situation when I arrived for my next visit. Although the situation could have been prevented by weighing the sealed containers, the staff did everything they could to make it better after the fact. Very happy with the Clinic and will definitely be a customer for the future.read more
