Shopping at a cannabis dispensary<\/a> is truly an experience unlike any other!

Are there any specific rules I need to follow? How will I know what to pick out?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve found yourself asking these questions, then this article is for you. I\u2019ve worked with thousands of folks who are new to cannabis shopping, and these three tips will help you feel prepared and enjoy your trip to the dispensary. <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember: W<\/em><\/span>e\u2019re<\/span><\/em> all somewhat new to this!<\/span><\/i> The legal cannabis industry hasn\u2019t been around for very long, so there\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about if you feel like you\u2019re falling behind. Here are three tips to know before you head over to the dispensary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What To Bring With You To The Dispensary<\/h2>\n

Whether a dispensary opened up in your town or you\u2019re going out-of-town to shop, make sure to come prepared. Here are a few of the basics for shopping in the United States:<\/span><\/p>\n

A Valid ID<\/h3>\n

Dispensaries in the United States require you to present a valid driver\u2019s license or state ID in order to shop for cannabis. This is a MUST\u2014you won\u2019t be able to get inside most dispensaries without an unexpired ID. If you\u2019re not sure about your specific form of ID, you can call ahead of time and talk with someone at the front desk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Med Card<\/h3>\n

If you have your medical marijuana card and you plan to purchase medical-grade cannabis, you’ll need to show proof of your status as a registered patient. While some states do allow you to use a digital med card, each state has its own standard operating procedures. Check local regulations to see if you need to bring physical documentation or if a digital card will suffice.<\/p>\n

>> Need a med card<\/strong>? Take our quiz to find out if you qualify<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cash<\/h3>\n

Since cannabis isn\u2019t federally legal in the United States, many dispensaries are not able to bank like other businesses and have to use a cash-only system. And while some dispensaries allow you to buy weed with a credit card<\/a>, it’s always a good idea to bring cash with you. I always recommend that folks bring $50 to $100 in cash for their first cannabis shopping trip (or ensure that the dispensary has an ATM on-site). Cannabis can get expensive, and in some states, it\u2019s hard to find items under $25. If you\u2019re shopping for the first time and want to explore some different products, I recommend bringing $100 so you can shop comfortably.<\/span><\/p>\n

Give Yourself Plenty Of Time<\/h2>\n

I always recommend going to the dispensary on a day when you\u2019re not in a hurry and can enjoy the shopping experience. Think of it like getting a hand-crafted drink from a bar or ordering a customized latte at a local coffee shop; these things take time and are worth the wait. Shopping at a dispensary<\/a> for the first time is very similar.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I worked at our town\u2019s first dispensary, it was WILDLY busy when it first opened. It would be normal for folks to wait one to two hours <\/span>just to get inside<\/span><\/em>. We\u2019d often get people who were frustrated because they came to shop for cannabis on their lunch break or in between meetings, and it took longer than they expected. Avoid stopping by the dispensary when you\u2019re crunched for time, as it typically takes at least 15 to 20 minutes for a visit, and it could be as long as an hour if there’s a line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you arrive, someone will look at your ID and guide you into the shopping area, where you’ll generally work one-on-one with a budtender<\/a> to secure your goods. If you’re not provided a menu, the budtender will walk you through all the cannabis products and specials for the day, from edibles<\/a> to flower<\/a> to concentrates<\/a>. <\/span>To speed things up, it can help to think about what method of ingestion meets your needs ahead of time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Be Afraid To Ask Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have questions about anything from their current product selection to accessibility for wheelchairs, give the dispensary a call. It\u2019s the dispensary\u2019s responsibility to provide you a space where you feel <\/span>comfortable and safe to shop<\/span><\/i>, so don\u2019t be afraid to consult the employees on anything you’re confused about. <\/span>Most dispensaries in 2021 have an online presence too, and their website will typically tell you their working hours, show their menu, and let you know about any specific policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the ins and outs of the cannabis industry is not a requirement for dispensary shopping. Due to the stringent laws surrounding cannabis sales, every dispensary has a solid structure in place to guide shoppers through each step of cannabis shopping properly. Additionally, budtenders are trained to educate shoppers on all the products, so don’t feel like you need to inundate Google with cannabis queries the night before.<\/p>\n

Many people are surprised at how friendly the dispensary employees are and how stress-free the visit goes. Typically, budtenders are open to any and all questions you have, and they know the dispensary’s selection better than anyone. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about different strains, terpenes, edibles, concentrates, or other products you might come across. <\/span>Over time, you might bond with a favorite budtender or even help other folks shopping for the first time\u2014dispensaries are <\/span>great places to connect with other cannabis users and learn tips and tricks along the way. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be shopping for cannabis like a pro!<\/span><\/p>\n
