About Altius Dispensary
The name Altius means "higher" in Latin, and that single word captures everything we stand for. When we opened our doors as a cannabis dispensary, we committed ourselves to elevating every aspect of the customer experience. From the quality of products on our shelves to the knowledge our staff brings to every conversation, we pursue a standard that goes beyond what people typically expect from a marijuana dispensary. We believe that cannabis has the power to transform lives when approached with care, education, and integrity, and we have built every element of our operation around that belief.
Serving customers throughout Northern Illinois & Southern New Jersey, we have positioned ourselves as a trusted destination for both newcomers and seasoned cannabis enthusiasts. Whether you are exploring cannabis for the first time or you have years of experience and refined preferences, we ensure a worthwhile shopping trip every time you visit. Our commitment to accessibility means we offer free parking, an ATM on-site, and friendly staff who simplify the navigation of our rewarding and vast world of cannabis. These details might seem small, but they reflect our philosophy that every touchpoint matters.
Our Mission and Values
At Altius Dispensary, our mission extends far beyond selling cannabis products. We see ourselves as partners in wellness, guides in exploration, and advocates for responsible consumption. The cannabis industry has grown exponentially in recent years, with legal sales across the United States surpassing tens of billions of dollars annually. Within that massive market, we have carved out a space defined by uncompromising integrity, genuine care, and a deep understanding of the plant and its many applications. By seeing to the details, upholding those standards, and sharing both insight and innovation, we open the doors to nearly limitless opportunities for better wellness and quality of life.
We recognize that the cannabis landscape can feel overwhelming. Hundreds of strains, dozens of consumption methods, and an ever-expanding vocabulary of cannabinoids and terpenes can intimidate even the most curious consumer. That is precisely why our team invests significant time in education and training. Every member of our staff understands the science behind THC, CBD, and the entourage effect. They can explain why certain terpene profiles produce relaxing effects while others energize and uplift. This depth of knowledge allows us to serve customers in Round Lake Beach, Carol Stream & Orland Hills, IL & Glassboro, NJ with personalized recommendations that genuinely improve their experience.
A Diverse Selection for Every Preference
Walking through our doors, you will discover a diverse and impressive array of consumption methods, strains, and THC and CBD ratios. We have carefully curated our inventory to ensure there is something for every preference, lifestyle, and wellness goal. The cannabis store experience we provide is designed to educate and inspire, not pressure or confuse.
Our flower selection alone demonstrates our dedication to quality. The rainbow of colors, an abundance of trichomes, and strong scents of our flower are sure to impress. We stock indica, sativa, and hybrid strains sourced from cultivators who share our commitment to excellence. Each strain is lab-tested for potency and purity, giving you complete confidence in what you are consuming. Beyond flower, our affordable pre-rolls are ideal for experimentation, allowing you to sample different strains without committing to a larger quantity.
For those who prefer alternatives to smoking, our menu features an extraordinary range of options. Tinctures and vapes offer amazing terpenes, discretion, and portability, making them perfect for customers who want to enjoy cannabis on the go or in settings where smoking is not practical. Soothing topicals provide localized relief without any psychoactive effects, making them popular among customers managing discomfort or skin conditions.

And an incredible menu of edibles rounds out our offerings, spanning everything from gummies and chocolates to beverages and savory options.
