A little bit of cannabis science and a whole lot of cannabis culture; that’s the ethos that Dispensary 33 works to uphold daily at the Andersonville location, open since 2015 as Chicago’s first and best medical and recreational cannabis dispensary. The knowledgeable and artistic budtenders and staff provide their clients recommendations to manage stress, all within a safe, quick and touch-free environment. Customers pre order in advance, but can make changes once instore. “Chicago’s cannabis culture and community constantly amazes us. It’s expansive, and people are consuming cannabis for so many different reasons. This culture gives us life.”

Cannabis Culture in Andersonville with Paul Lee

[ General Manager of Dispensary 33 ]

What is unique about Andersonville? Andersonville still has that old school Chicago charm. A lot has changed, but because Andersonville is home to a lot of small businesses, it helps retain that feeling. Cannabis drives more people to the area, and it feels good to support and grow with the neighborhood.

Has hiring from the community influenced D33? Yes! Hiring directly from the community is a strong way to be connected to the roots of the neighborhood, but we receive resumes and hire from different parts of the city. I like to bring together people who share a passion for cannabis and community. The result is a group of diverse, cannabis-minded folks at our shop who are so true to themselves. I believe it helps influence the area in a positive way.

What does Chicago and cannabis mean to you? Cannabis in Chicago is necessary. People in Chicago have been using cannabis for decades - for relief, fun, or alternatives to harsh medication. People are always surprised by the amount of people who consume cannabis in Chicago, but it’s a necessary part of our lives. The mission of our dispensary is to help people who need access to cannabis and to provide space in the community for it.

What is the biggest misconception about working at a dispensary? That it’s not a lot of work.

It’s rewarding because our whole staff is passionate about what we do, but we have our fair share of stress and long hours. People don’t see the grunt work that goes into it. There’s a different emotional aspect in a dispensary than other retail environment and there needs to be a certain tolerance, knowledge and understanding to serve a wide array of people.

What are you proud of? I’m really proud of the way our team adapts. Adapting to an ever changing market IS cannabis. We have a tiny crew without backup, and we’re forced to adapt quickly, so we do. No other dispensary handles crowds like we do.

I also think our team performs very well operationally. People feel heard and seen and cared for from the minute they walk in, and they tell us that. The transition to the recreational market, although hard, has been really rewarding. I’m lucky to have the team that I do.

This interview was contributed to the 2021-2022 Andersonville Neighborhood Guide by the Dispensary 33 staff. Visit dispensary33.com for more information.
