Dispensary

Introduction

A dispensary refers to a specialized store that sells legal cannabis products to consumers.

Dispensaries offer a wide selection of cannabis strains, concentrates, edibles, topicals and more depending on their state or country’s regulations.

Let’s explore the role and workings of the modern marijuana dispensary.

What is a Dispensary?

While each operates a bit differently, most dispensaries share a few key traits:

• Legal supply chain from licensed producers and processors
• Certified staff who guide customers and provide education
• Strict age/ID verification at entry
• Wide range of cannabis products, from flowers to extracts
• Adherence to product testing, labeling, and packaging regulations
• Secure environment with strict access control

Recreational dispensaries sell to adult consumers, while medical dispensaries cater to registered patients.

Many serve both markets. Dispensaries provide safe, controlled weed access while creating jobs and generating tax revenue.

Working with Dispensaries 

Dispensaries aim to inform customers and connect them to effective cannabis products.

Communicate your needs, like medical conditions or recreational interests, to receive personalized recommendations.

Know your state purchasing and possession limits. Read product info carefully and start low/slow with dosing. With reliable service and education, dispensaries make cannabis shopping more accessible.
