Taking a first trip to a Bay Area dispensary can be incredibly exciting. For those who are new to marijuana and the seemingly unlimited range of marijuana-containing products that are currently offered, it can also be overwhelming. The good news is that there are several simple steps that you can take to get the most from your initial shopping experience.
Take Advantage Of Pre-Rolled Joints
Pre-rolled joints are low-cost options that are perfect for people who are shopping with limited budgets. With these, the flower has already been broken down, ground up, and placed in suitable smoking papers. There’s absolutely no work that the user must do apart from actually lighting the product and inhaling it. Best of all, these options give shoppers the chance to check out some of the top options in local weed, without having to spend a veritable fortune.
Ask About The Current Specials
A good Bay Area dispensary will always work with a number of top-rated local growers. This ensures that customers have access to a variety of strains, strengths, flavors, and more. To ensure that their products are always in-demand and easy to market, a number of these growers have weekly or monthly specials. Finding out what these are before making any purchasing decisions is a great way to make limited funds go further. Moreover, if you have a specific grower that you like using, you can take advantage of these deals to get more of what you like for your available money.
Communicate With Your “Bud-Tender”
“Bud-tender” is a relatively new term that assigns dispensary workers the same level of importance that bartenders have in the bar or club setting. After all, these are the people who will help you customize your purchase to suit your unique preferences and needs. Be prepared to ask lots of questions about various strains, different product types, specials, and rewards programs among other things. If you are interested in trying topical marijuana products or edibles, this is the person who can direct you to the best available options.
Don’t Overlook The Benefits Of CBD
Although many CBD products and THC products are marketed as being entirely separate from one another, the two do not have to be mutually exclusive. While THC offers the sense of euphoria that’s associated with the typical marijuana high, many of the pain-relieving benefits of the flowering marijuana plant are directly associated with the cannabinoid called CBD. Ask your “bud-tender” about CBD products that have absolutely no psychoactive effects, as well as those that are meant to offer both pain relief and the euphoric high of THC.
