First Things First
When visiting a cannabis dispensary, it’s important to know and follow proper protocol and ethics. This ensures a safe and positive experience for both the customers and staff. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when visiting a cannabis dispensary:
Have Valid ID Ready
Most dispensaries require a government-issued ID that proves you are of legal age to purchase cannabis. This could include a State Drivers License, State ID, Military Card, Passport or a few other options, if we say we don’t take your ID then don’t argue. Make sure to have your ID ready and available for yourself or the staff to scan. Without a valid ID, you won’t be able to enter the dispensary or purchase any products. DO NOT try to sneak in with a expired or fake ID, you will get caught and likely get banned. We do make notes on individual profiles about each customer.
Be Patient
Just because you came into a cannabis dispensary on Tuesday and 9:15 AM with no line and got out in less than a minute does not mean it will happen the next time you come in. Dispensaries can get busy at random times and especially during peak hours. Be prepared to wait in line and give staff time to assist each customer. Rushing or pressuring staff can make the experience stressful for everyone involved.
Respect Other Customers
Dispensaries can be crowded, so it’s important to be respectful of other customers’ space and privacy. Avoid talking too loudly or invading others’ personal space. If you have questions or concerns, wait your turn and approach staff when it’s your time.
Respect Staff
Cannabis dispensary staff are there to help you, so it’s important to treat them with respect. Avoid using derogatory language or making inappropriate jokes. If you have a complaint or issue, address it politely and calmly. Staff will make notes on your profile and we see that every time you come in to the dispensary. Please be careful of your reputation that you build. If you respect the staff you tend to get better deals and hooked up more with better products.
Follow The Rules
Dispensaries have specific rules and regulations that must be followed. This may include no smoking on the premises, not bringing in outside products, buying for others, or specific payment methods. Make sure to read and follow all posted signs and listen to staff directions.
Ask Honest Questions
If you’re unsure about a product or have questions, ask staff for clarification. They are knowledgeable about the products and can guide you to the right product for your needs. Honesty is important when it comes to discussing dosage, effects, and possible side effects. Staff at a cannabis dispensary do not care or will not judge you in any way, we just want you to get the product or products you need.
Have Payment Ready
A cannabis dispensary will only accept cash, but now some may accept debit or credit cards. Make sure to have your payment method ready before making a purchase. This helps keep the line moving and reduces stress for everyone involved. If you are waiting in line that is the perfect time to access the ATM to pull out money for your transaction.
Final Thoughts
By following proper protocol and ethics, you can have a safe and enjoyable experience at a cannabis dispensary. Remember to respect other customers and staff, ask honest questions, and have your ID and payment ready. Most importantly, enjoy the experience and learn more about the amazing products available at your local dispensary.
