Bloc

Bloc is a dispensary brand of Justice Cannabis Co., a privately owned, family-run cannabis company that operates stores in several states, including Illinois and New Jersey. In Illinois its adult-use stores are spread from the Chicago area, including Avondale, Berwyn, Forest Park, Northfield and Antioch, down to Mattoon and Metropolis in the south of the state. In New Jersey it runs locations in Somerset, Ewing and Waretown, each with separate medical and adult-use storefronts.

The name nods to the days when buying cannabis meant meeting someone down the block, and the company frames its business around honoring the people who sold before legalization, backing the Roll It Up for Justice campaign. Bloc says its stores aim to be clean and welcoming one-stop shops for flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates and accessories, and it offers price matching so shoppers do not need to visit several dispensaries. Customers can choose a preferred store online, order ahead for pickup and join a loyalty program.
