Keep reading for pro tips on finding the highest quality marijuana dispensary close to home. 

Start With a Search

While it might sound common sense, plenty of people forget that the locations of local dispensaries are easy to access public knowledge. While once taboo, marijuana has now gone mainstream!

In fact, just typing “cannabis dispensary” and the name of your town or city into Google should be enough to bring up a long list of search results. 

Not finding what you’re looking for? There’s a chance that you don’t understand your state’s legal status fully. Check out this fun Rolling Stone article for detailed state-by-state information!

If for some reason, recreational marijuana is not legal in your area, you may still have options. Permits for medical and other official uses may be obtained in some states that have not yet fully legalized. 

Use Online Tools

Once you’ve found a basic list of cannabis shopping outlets in your area, it’s time to narrow the search. 

Start with the local dispensaries that have the best reviews, and be sure to check more than one site, just in case! You’ll want to keep an eye out for “red flag” reviews when it comes to pricing, product, and customer service.

Focus on the top two or three picks from this list, and learn more about them online. These days, nearly every marijuana dispensary posts its menu, or at least a few of its key items, online. This allows users to shop from the comfort of home.

While you’re online, find out if any dispensaries in your area deliver, offer loyalty programs, or feature special services for their clients.

Licensed for Health and Safety

No matter what state you live in, your dispensary of choice should be licensed to sell marijuana. But, unfortunately, thanks to the rapid increase in demand, plenty of fly by night operators are opening up shop nationwide.

In fact, major online listing services have begun deleting thousands of unlicensed dispensaries ads, citing legal concerns.

Shopping with an unlicensed dispensary leaves you without a guaranteed product or service. And, it doesn’t support the marijuana industry overall. What’s worse – you could be supporting illegal activities that you wouldn’t normally want to be a part of.

Shopping in unlicensed locations can also allow you to become the victim of scams and counterfeit goods. And, even the newest of dispensaries should carry a legal license before opening its doors.

Staff and Service

Especially if you’re new to the world of recreational marijuana, you’ll want to work with a dispensary staff who know their stuff!

These individuals are among the best resources for finding the products that will fit your needs and lifestyle perfectly. And, in many cases, they’ve had a chance to sample most of the dispensary’s offerings – allowing them to offer honest opinions and product reviews.

If you aren’t comfortable shopping for cannabis-related products in person, find a dispensary that can help you over the phone or web chat. You’ll be surprised to discover how common these services are!

Buying recreational marijuana should be a fun experience, and it’s the dispensary staff’s job to help you enjoy it. Opt for a fun, upbeat local option with a staff that seems happy. This way, you’re likely to have a way more relaxed and productive shopping trip.

Right Product, Right Price

Without a doubt, the most important factor in choosing a local dispensary is the product.

Select a marijuana retailer with a menu that suits your personal needs and lifestyle. There’s a whole lot more on the market these days than just leafy greens, after all!

The right dispensary will carry a variety of THC and CBD products, not just marijuana. This could include edibles, vape products, tinctures and concentrates, and more! Really, the sky is the limit.

Nearly as important as finding the right product is paying the right price. In some cases, you’ll be able to compare against online retailers to be sure you’re paying properly for your cannabis goods. But, if you can’t find a brand or product on the internet, you might have to price compare locally.

Fortunately, marijuana products are more affordable now than ever before, thanks to their legalization and steadily growing popularity. And, most brands use an enforced MSRP – or suggested retail price, to keep uniformity in costs, regardless of where their clients prefer to shop.
