Medical Marijuana

I must search for a new one since my current dispensary is slacking big time- and in all areas. To help me in finalizing my decision to search, I made a mental list of everything my dispensary is lacking. Needless to say, it didn’t take long for me to come to the conclusion that there are many dispensaries in Denver to choose from, so I should take my business elsewhere.

How do you know when to look for a new dispensary caregiver? Here’s what my list looked like:

 

  • Their selection of meds is lacking. For instance, if they only have one hybrid available for weeks at a time (like my dispensary) it’s time for a change.
  • Customer service has gone downhill. When you have to squeeze through two other patients to look at meds while the budtender is helping two others at the same time, it’s a sign that their service is less than mediocre.
  • They don’t offer good deals anymore. Taking away discounts and member benefits is a sure sign they are slipping.
  • The budtenders always seem high. While there’s nothing wrong with sampling the products during work, I tend to get annoyed when it is clearly affecting the budtender’s attention span. Plus they are more prone to making mistakes on your meds. (I had to return a few hours after a purchase a few weeks ago because they mixed up the buds.)
  • They have a lack of product knowledge. If the budtender’s response to an inquiry of the effects of a particular strain, a response of “Uhhh…It’s the bomb, man!” does not suffice. I want to know if it will relieve pain and anxiety!
  • The prices have risen. A sure sign that it’s time to look elsewhere, especially if the quality of the buds has gone down.
  • You leave feeling disappointed. Don’t walk- run to another dispensary!
