Chronic Guru Dispensary & Lounge - Deland
About Chronic Guru Dispensary & Lounge - Deland
Operating as a combined dispensary and consumption lounge on North Woodland Boulevard in DeLand, this Chronic Guru location is a different format than the medical-only chains dominating Florida. It holds a 4.8-star rating across 947 reviews, with feedback describing craft drinks, dab experiences, board games, and sports on the TVs alongside the retail counter, creating a hangout atmosphere closer to a bar than a clinical retail floor. Hours run 11 AM to 10 PM Sunday through Thursday, with extended Friday and Saturday hours until midnight, which is unusually late for any Florida cannabis-related business and matches the social-venue model. Budtenders Erica, Zoey M, and Bex get named for both drink crafting and product knowledge, with the seasonal menu rotating drinks like sweet tea, cloud 9, and cranberry-apple margaritas that reviewers specifically call out by name. The lounge model means the store falls under Florida's hemp-derived THC and CBD regulatory framework rather than the state's medical marijuana program, so no medical card is required to enter, order, or buy products from the menu.

Customer Reviews
Came for a sweet tea and ended up getting a cloud 9 and cran apple marg, the fall menu has amazing drinks and would definitely recommend. It's a great spot to bring in friends chill and have a few drinks. They also offer a dab experience and have board games and play all different sports on their TVs. It's a great spot and has different options for everyone. Erica took care of me today and her service and expertise was nothing less of amazing. Check this spot out if you haven't already!
Very welcoming experience. The associates are very knowledgeable. Bex was very kind and friendly, and helped guide me to the right product. I appreciate her and her sidekick, Erica. Bex was a great saleswoman, trying to upsell in a respectful way. Can't wait to revisit this warm and welcoming establishment. Thank you!
Randomly stumbled upon this gem downtown. Super cool vibe and great live music! Staff was super friendly and patient educating me on the variety of different options they had, Bex was awesome! Will definitely be back to try more!
Erica and Zoey M were very accommodating and very respectful! They both made my experience an incredible one! My drink was perfection!
Payton and Erica were very helpful and had answers to all my questions.
