Where to Buy Legal CBD Products in Chicago

While Illinois may be a ways away from legalizing recreational cannabis, some of this fine plant is already being sold within Chicago legally. How? In the form of CBD, of course.

If you’re not already aware, the marijuana plant is composed of over 80 chemicals, but the three major elements that are most widely used are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), and Cannabinol (CBN). While THC has psychoactive properties, CBD does not when derived from hemp, a legal strain of cannabis. CBN does have some psychoactive results, but not near the level of THC, and is used for aiding sleep and relaxation. But that’s not what we’re talking about here.

Cannabidiol is legal in Illinois because it doesn’t get you stoned the way a joint would. It’s sold in the form of oils, edibles, and oral drops and still in more evolutionary ways. Since it was legalized in Illinois in 2017, CBD shops have sprouted all over Chicago, and even convenience and grocery stores have started selling them. Also, CBD oil and other products are available online and before making an order it is better to read CBD oil reviews. There has even been a slew of pop-ups around the city, like Metric Coffee‘s cannabis cold brew and the infused cocktails at Emporium.

Whether you just need something to help you sleep or you have a medical condition that could be helped by CBD oil, these are the best shops in Chicago to find legal CBD products.

If you’ve never tried CBD before, this is probably the best place in the whole city to go to for a first-rate education. Not only will they guide you through the various colors and strains of Kratom, but they will also help you understand the connection between cannabidiol and Kratom and why there is little-to-no THC found in hemp, the plant they pull from to make most of their products.

Good Lyfe CBD

6158 W Grand Ave., Chicago, IL 60639

This shop is relatively small, but it’s so far on the outskirts of the city that it’s lesser-known than the larger CBD shops, making it a perfect place to buy CBD oil in the suburbs of Illinois. They use their Facebook to promote the benefits of cannabidiol, which they sell in their shop alongside a small collection of merchandise.

Fresh Thyme Fresh Market

2500 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

While many grocery stores fake out customers with labels like “Hemp Oil” or even “CBD Oil” without actually including any cannabidiol in the actual product, Fresh Thyme does it right. They sell authentic CBD oil—granted with low levels of it—that can be bought without a medical card. You might be able to buy real CBD oil at other grocery stores near you in Illinois, like Chicago Health Foods, but make sure to check the label for milligrams of CBD.

*Just so no one is confused, none of these products will actually get you high. They are all THC-free, relying solely on the CBD ingredient, which is the non-psychoactive part of the cannabis leaf. That being said, a “body high” can be experienced from consuming CBD, which will keep your mind active but leave the rest of you feeling peaceful and relaxed.
