They sold me some bunk weed for a $150. This stuff reminds me of fresh grass/back yard boogie! It's so harsh and very unpleasant to smoke! They offered me 5 bucks for a bad recommendation. I should have stayed with what I know. Imagine giving up a possible 3k plus a year over bad product. I feel like it was pushed on me because of the quality. It's cool though. I won't be back and I won't recommend this place to anyone. Purchase at your own risk.

I love this store and I love all the people who work here, especially Linsey. I recently found out the Beggars Pizza guy is the Be guy too (now the name makes more sense). Beggars has been my favorite pizza for decades, and Be is my go to dispensary, not just because it's the only one in Blue Island either. I don't know, I just feel more warmth in this dispensary as compared the many others I visited. The Veterans discount is 200% higher than any other dispensary as well. The taxes though 😱💸

I enjoy coming here and I come early. I’m always greeted with a happy face even if it is 7am lol the deals are good the flowers taste wonderful. if you’re into edibles or vapes and all that good stuff they have those too. Everything is cool about this place except one thing which isn’t a big thing buttt they need to accept debit. They have an atm if you need to use it so that’s a good but being able to swipe my card would be better. Other than that my favorite dispensary so far 😌

This is a great Cannapensary! We’ve been coming here for a little while now. We seem to find the best deals here pretty often. Today was no different. The staff welcoming you as you enter is what I would describe as a great ambience with a cool vibe. Once you get checked in then you can enter the back room to browse, pick up or place orders, There’s great music playing upon entry. I’ll just say, “If it’s not Be, It can’t be!” You heard it here 1st. 👍🏾
