My first visit to the cannabis dispensary was a bit overwhelming.
I was really excited when recreational weed was finally legalized in my state.
It took a long time before the first dispensaries opened their doors to adults 21+. To shop for cannabis, I only needed to present a valid form of identification. I stepped inside and was amazed by the size of the facility. The dispensary in closest proximity to my home is especially bright and modern. It includes an indoor greenhouse, on-site bakery, vape lounge and dab bar. The selection of products is extensive. While I had smoked dried flower a few times, I had no experience with vapes, concentrates, tinctures, extracts and topicals. Just the menu of edibles would take me months to try everything. They offer a lot more than just the brownies and gummies I was familiar with. I can choose from milk, white and dark chocolates, peanut butter cups, suckers, mints and cookies. There are cannabis-infused cooking oils, ice creams, popcorn and drink mixes. They include a line of beverages such as colas, lemonades, tonics, root beers, cannabeers and mocktails. Even the gummies are sold in over a dozen flavors. Along with all of the different consumption methods on the shelves, there are a wide variety of strains. The dried flower provided by over twenty different producers is packaged by the weight and covers all preferences for potency and terpenes. I can buy sativas, indicas or hybrids. I can select CBD options and even pet products. I have been reading up on cannabis and educating myself in order to make smart purchases.
