I never like to walk into situations totally unprepared.

So what I do is a lot of research beforehand.

I knew I needed to get some products at the cannabis dispensary for my depression. I just wasn’t sure what kind of cannabis products would work for me. First I looked up my state requirements. I didn’t need a medical cannabis card. I could just walk in and get what I wanted off the shelves. Second, I looked up what kind of cannabis dispensary had the best products. I wanted good reviews, trained budtenders and seed to sell products. After that I started figuring out what kind of cannabis product I want to use. There are all sorts of ways you can get cannabis into the body. You can smoke it. That means a loose leaf flower or an oil based product. I didn’t want to smoke a joint, bong or hookah. I also didn’t want to vape and have the vape with me at all times. There are all different types of edibles. There is more than just the typical pot brownie. That seemed like it could easily experie and be worthless calories to me. A topical wouldn’t really work for my issue either. I found that a concentrate was what I needed. There are even dispensaries with dab bars that you can try them out. I didn’t require that however. I knew what one I wanted, where it was in the store I wanted and how much it ws. When the time was ready, I then grabbed my wallet and picked it up. It felt good to know exactly what was going into my body.

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to cannabis.

My friends seem to think that since our state offers recreational weed, it is a free for all.

I laughed the other day when my friend Hannah thought she could pick up all the weed she wanted. It isn’t like a candy store or a grocery store. You have limits with how much cananais you are allowed to get each month. It doesn’t matter if you are a medical marijuana patient or a recreational cannabis customer. They do cut you off. They track you through your license too. So there is no getting around it. Another thing is that my friends always expect free samples. It is not like a deli or a candle store. A cannabis dispensary isn’t allowed to offer products to be consumed on the premises. That means you can’t sample any pot brownies or THC infused gummies. The only exception is that some diepsnearies are licensed to have a smoker’s lounge. After You buy your product, you can smoke it in the designated area. That is about it however. The last is that my one friend Brian rode his bike to the cannabis dispensary. He then thought he could just toss his products in his bike basket and ride away. Technically that isn’t allowed. Your cannabis products are supposed to be put in your trunk, locked away. Yes, that is true. Look it up. You can’t just stuff it in a pocket and carry it around. Legally you are supposed to have it locked away until you get home. Most people don’t do this however.

I work for an SEO business and I would say that 75% of our clients are HVAC dealers.

That means I am making heating and cooling websites basically all day long.

I also deal with HVAC business owners. These are typical white males in their late 50s. They aren’t the best kind of customer. They don’t really get what they are paying for and understand that I am the expert here. They always want to supply blurry images to be put on the website, have dumb sayings and mess with my coding on the actual website. They typically end up with a worse product when they get involved. My company has slowly started creeping into cannabis dispensaries. More and more of our clients are dispensaries. They are so much better to deal with. Those business owners are much younger and familiar with SEO. They know why they need internet marketing and what exactly it is. They also are much more chill to deal with. I can make a website and not expect any changes from their end. If they do supply pictures or content, it is typically quite high end. The dispensaries offer some really cool services too. I can write about dab bars, vape lounges, a cannabis hair care line, you name it. There is just more fodder with a dispensary. We don’t have too many clients though. That is why it is like a dog fight with other workers to have them as a customer. Eventually I think our company will only cater to marijuana dispensaries.

There are more than just pot brownies when it comes to edibles.

It is like that is the only form of food based cannabis they can come up with.

There are mints, gums and tablets you can take. You also have hard candy, suckers, gummies and other sugary products. There are more baked goods than brownies. Some cannabis dispensaries even have an on site bakery where they make them. Cookies, cakes, pies and chocolates all can have cannabis infused in them. There are even cannabutters and cooking oils. For me, I prefer a cannabis beverage. Cannabis drinks are just so much better. I don’t want the calories with the food based items. I also don’t like that they can expire and taste gross. A can of soda just stays fresh that much longer. It is neater to store and most people don’t get that it is a weed based product. At work I have a mini fridge under my desk. I drink a cannabis beverage in order to keep me mellow and focused during the day. I have quite a few drink options loaded underneath me. I have all sorts of flavors too. You can have lime, cherry, strawberry or grape. I tend to rotate which one I have. There are even more milky, chocolate based drink options too. I prefer it when it tastes just like a soda and is in a can. That is the easiest and typically the cheapest option at the cannabis dispensary near me. I get just high enough that I am mellow, but not so bad that I can’t function.

 

Medical cannabis

When my husband and I decided to vacation in a different state, we looked for different things to do.

We were near a beach and decided to stay at a resort on the water.

We shopped in high end areas, got massages and rode scooters on the boardwalk. That was fun. Another thing the state offered was legal weed. Our state only medical cannabis is permitted. My husband and I weren’t sure how we felt about cannabis. However, the two of us agreed to at least stopping in a dispensary and seeing what it was all about. I am really glad we did this. I kind of thought a cannabis dispensary would be more like a gas station or a seedy pawn shop. Instead a cannabis dispensary was more like a high end retail shop. There were glass cases filled with all different products. There were sales going on and all sorts of bright colors. It was very clean, modern and edgy looking in there. The budtenders were wandering around chatting with people and offering advice too. My husband and I didn’t plan on buying, but it was such a good set up. I ended up choosing some chocolates with THC in them and my husband tried vaping a cannabis oil for the first time. We really enjoyed touring the dispensary. Afterwards we really liked the products we had. I never thought I would like being high. The budtender started us out with very mellow products though. Neither of us got overwhelmed. It was a great experience for sure.
