Recreational customers may ONLY enter through the 2369 N Milwaukee Ave entrance. Medical patients may enter through either the 2847 W Fullerton or 2369 N Milwaukee entrance, but we recommend medical patients enter through the Fullerton entrance for faster service and shorter lines.

We accept cash, and debit cards for cashless ATM transactions. We do not accept credit cards.

Cashless ATM transactions require a $3.50 transaction fee. We have ATMs inside both dispensaries; the fee is $3.25. 

Your bank may charge additional fees for ATM and cashless ATM transactions; please consult with your financial institution for details.

We recently implemented improvements to our system including appointment-only order pickups to reduce waits and manage flow. If you arrive at the same time as others, feel free to hang across the street, in your vehicle or at another safe distance until you feel comfortable entering.

We have to cap the number of customers that come through the dispensary each day, especially during the pandemic. Once we’ve accepted the maximum number of orders we can reasonably fulfill, online ordering will be paused. If you’re unable to place an order, just try again later.

We admit one person at a time. Each individual must have their own appointment. Please leave family and friends at home.

Every patient is affected differently by various strains and methods of consumption. Potency also varies from strain to strain and product to product. We recommend all patients start with smaller doses to test their effects and then to adjust with experience.

We have found this dosage calculator to be very helpful in explaining percentages and doing some of the math for you.

No one may consume cannabis at or around the dispensary.

No, recreational cannabis may only be consumed in private residences.

No weapons are allowed inside of MOCA. You will be turned away if you are carrying anything we believe could hurt our staff or other customers/patients (guns, knives, tasers, pepper spray, etc). If you want to ensure you will get inside, please do not bring any weapons with you.

All visitors are required to wear masks or other face coverings, and have access to hand sanitizer and a sink. We encourage all patients in high-risk groups to contact us for help setting up a caregiver to eliminate the need to come into the dispensary entirely.

THCA is the chemical precursor to THC. Many cannabis products, like flower or concentrate, contain high levels of THCA. A small amount of the THCA naturally present in cannabis converts to THC during the curing and drying process.

When you apply heat to the product, usually by smoking, dabbing, or vaping it, the THCA is converted to THC.

Since THCA and THC have a different molecular weight, THCA percentage by weight does not exactly match THC percentage by weight. To find the total THC in your product, use this equation.

(THCA % Listed on Product) x 0.877 + (THC % Listed on Product) = Total THC % in Product

There is no reason that purchasing recreational cannabis would have ay effect on FOID card eligibility because we do not track any personal information. However, we aren’t in a position to give legal advice on this matter. FOID cards are federally issued and held to federal law, and cannabis is still illegal under federal law. We can sell to anyone 21+ with an ID and we do not track the personal information of those who make recreational purchases.

This is well outside of our control but the short answer is yes it can. State legalization is not federal legalization, and employers who require drug testing may not care about IL state law. You should check with the employer or other entity to make sure you are ok to use cannabis without affecting these areas.
