Your Ultimate Marijuana Shopping Manual

Happy to receive your medical marijuana recommendation? So, pretty excited about buying your cannabis products from the dispensary?

Well, I can completely relate to what you are feeling as the whole idea of shopping for cannabis products is quite overwhelming. This is because almost every dispensary is stocked with cannabis products and strains in abundance.

However, to make your shopping experience a nice one, here’s what you should do.

Make a Budget

Generally, people have the impression that cannabis is expensive because a lot goes into correctly pricing the products if bought from a dispensary. Mostly the pricing parameters are quality and manufacturing practices. So, it’s important to figure out what your budget is as your purchasing capacity will merely depend on it. Also, plan well before on what you want to buy and analyze till much time will that stock last. The best thing is that you won’t have to pay sales tax because of your 420 med card.

Choose The Right Dispensary

This is very important as you would never want to buy contaminated stuff. Quality matters a lot whenever you are buying cannabis for your condition. And for that, the dispensary or store should be good. It’s a good idea to do some research on the nearby dispensary. You can even check the ratings and the user comments to get a brief. Also, make sure the dispensary you are visiting is a certified and licensed one to get the best quality products.

Talk With Budtender

If you are visiting a dispensary, don’t hesitate on talking with the budtender. Because they have knowledge about the strains and products and will be of help in selecting the right one on the basis of your need. Also, they are in a habit of dealing with customers on daily basis, so feel free to ask anything to learn about the strains you’ll be buying. You can ask, is the strain Sativa or Indica? What is the potency of the strain? What is the ideal time for using the strain? and many more like these.

Prefer Sun Grown Strains

Since the cannabis industry is in a constant boom phase, the major focus is on the production increase to match the requirements. And as a result, many growers are switching to indoor cultivation because in it plants can be grown in abundance. Well, this thing is bad for the environment as it consumes a lot of energy. So, it is important to look for strains that are grown in a natural environment. It is always a good idea to encourage conventional growing methods and thus help the environment by leaving a very less carbon footprint on planet earth.

The Smell Test

Well, the cannabis plant has a natural aroma, that is produced due to the presence of terpenes in it. Terpenes contribute a distinguishing smell to a particular strain. Also, cannabinoids THC and CBD are odorless but terpenes are not. So, if you ever want to analyze the quality of the strain you are buying or want to check on any chemicals, funk, or mold, then do a smell test.
