Now that more dispensaries are open, many people are taking their first trip to one. While it shouldn’t be an intimidating experience, it is new and very different from other retail settings. Before going for the first time, many buyers will prefer to know what to expect so they aren’t caught completely off guard when they go in for the first time.
ID Will be Required
The first thing to know is that anyone entering a cannabis dispensary is going to need to show their ID. This ensures they are legally able to purchase cannabis, as those who are not of legal age cannot enter the dispensary at all. It is possible to contact the dispensary before going to find out what kinds of identification they accept if necessary.
Know What You Want
It’s a good idea for the buyer to know what they want. They don’t need to know exactly what they’ll purchase, but they should have a good idea of what type of cannabis they’re interested in, whether they want something smokable or an edible, and how much they’d like to purchase. If they aren’t sure, the employees will be helpful, but they need at least an idea of what the buyer is looking for before they can offer suggestions.
Bring Cash Just in Case
It is always a good idea to bring cash when visiting a dispensary. While many now accept credit or debit cards, this is not guaranteed. If the buyer does not want to carry cash or isn’t sure how much to bring, it is possible to call the dispensary ahead of time. They can provide information on payment types accepted as well as give the buyer an idea of how much the products might cost.
Ask Questions Before Buying
Buyers have the ability to ask questions, so they should take advantage of this. The buyer will want to make sure they will enjoy what they purchase, so if they’re new to cannabis or want to try something they’ve never tried before, it is a good idea to ask questions and take advantage of the employee’s expertise. Most employees will be more than happy to answer any questions and make sure the buyer walks away happy with their purchase.
You Don’t Have to Buy
While most buyers enter a dispensary with the intent to purchase something, it’s a good idea to remember that they aren’t required to make a purchase. Those who have no idea what they might like or just want to see what a dispensary is like before buying anything are free to look around at the selection, get a good idea of pricing, and ask any questions they might have.
