Whether you’re visiting a Tacoma dispensary for the first time for recreational or medical needs, you probably have questions. In this short post, learn more about what to bring to the dispensary and what to expect when making your first purchase.
Bring Identification
Cannabis products are legal, but like when purchasing alcohol or tobacco products, you need to show proof of age. To buy cannabis products in Tacoma, you must show you’re 21 years or older.
Ask Questions
Never feel like you can’t ask questions at a dispensary. The employees, known as budtenders, love answering questions. They want you to feel comfortable and empowered to make the best decisions. If you’re not sure what you need, let them know why you’re interested in purchasing cannabis products. Are you looking for pain relief? Are you simply using it recreationally? Don’t be shy. Ask away and spend your money on products you’ll enjoy using.
Bring Cash
With so many places going cashless today, you might expect to walk into a dispensary, whip out your debit or credit card, or pay using your phone. However, very few dispensaries accept card payments. Since cannabis isn’t legal federally, many major banks won’t allow payments using their network. So, if you’re visiting a dispensary, leave your cards in your wallet and come inside with cash.
Visiting a Tacoma dispensary for the first time can cause stress. However, if you strike up a conversation with the budtenders and ask questions, you’ll quickly become a pro. Your second time won’t feel as intimidating.
