The Top Cannabis Strains That Help Relieve Nausea

More places are starting to offer citizens access to medical or recreational cannabis dispensaries. But what should you expect when you visit one? Are there things you should and shouldn’t do in a dispensary? Let’s take a closer look at some of the things you should be ready for upon your first visit to a dispensary, as well as some of the main dos and don’ts of dispensary etiquette.
On average, when a customer visits a medical or recreational cannabis dispensary, they spend between $10 to $300. Some people are overwhelmed by the final price. This is because many consumers are not used to paying such high taxes on consumer goods. Cannabis is one of the highest-taxed legal products in the US. Some places have tax on cannabis that is higher than 30%.
This means that on a $100 purchase, you are paying anywhere from $115-$130 and potentially more total for your purchase once the tax is added. In states where there are already high tax rates when you add on a special MJ tax and an additional excise tax, the numbers add up quickly.
When you buy a hundred dollars’ worth of product and pay much more than that for the out the door price, the thought of tipping your budtender might not even pop into mind. But should it? The legal cannabis sector is a rapidly-growing one. One that’s cultivating a budding workforce to go with it. Budtenders make up an enormous part of that workforce.
But should you tip your budtender? It depends. While many others in hospitality rely on tips as they are only paid minimum wage, budtenders do not rely on tips. An average budtender makes between $10 to $16 an hour. That doesn’t mean that don’t deserve a tip though. Budtenders need weed too, and since many can accept tips, why not throw in a couple of bucks to show that you appreciate their service?
While it shouldn’t have to be said, don’t touch the bud. While many dispensaries will allow you to view and smell the herbage they offer, it is not polite to touch the buds and often strictly prohibited. This is for many different reasons.
Preparation is key! When visiting a dispensary, there are a few things you will need. First and foremost, you will need identification. If you are a medical cannabis patient, you will also need to provide documentation providing your patient status upon visiting a dispensary. These two items are often required at all dispensary visits.
In most cases, you will also need to have cash to make a purchase. While some dispensaries have found ways of working around the banking conundrums of the cannabis sector, many still operate on a cash-only basis. For this reason, it is best to come prepared. The majority of dispensaries have an ATM on-site, but I have found that they tend to often be bone dry because of the cash-only aspect of the sector.
