Making Your First Dispensary Visit Comfortable and Informed
When visiting The Sanctuary or any cannabis dispensary for the first time, it’s important to be prepared. Here are valuable tips to enhance your experience:
Before Your Visit
• Bring a valid government-issued ID – you must be 21+ for recreational purchases
• Research product types that interest you through reliable medical resources
• Check current payment methods accepted, as many dispensaries are cash-only
• Consider your desired effects and therapeutic goals
During Your Visit
• Don’t be afraid to ask questions – budtenders are there to help
• Start with lower potency products if you’re new to cannabis
• Request to see and smell products before purchasing
• Take notes about products you try for future reference
Shopping Smart
• Sign up for loyalty programs to receive discounts
• Ask about daily deals and specials
• Purchase smaller amounts when trying new products
• Consider the THC-to-CBD ratio for balanced effects
Safety First
• Store products securely away from children and pets
• Keep original packaging with testing information
• Start low and go slow with dosing
• Plan transportation ahead – never drive under the influence
Remember that everyone’s experience with cannabis is different, and what works for others may not work for you. Take time to find your optimal products and dosages through careful experimentation and consultation with knowledgeable staff.
