In 36 states, buying cannabis for medicinal use was permitted as of August 2021. When you first enter a dispensary in a state where medical marijuana is allowed, it might be scary, especially if you’ve never used cannabis before. Here are some things to be aware of if you’re considering visiting a Montana dispensary for the first time.
Products Might Be Locked Up
You might be startled when you first walk into a cannabis shop to find that the majority, if not all, of the items are locked behind glass cases. Cannabis dispensaries must abide by extremely stringent restrictions in every state, and some of those laws specify that items for sale must be prepackaged.
Although you won’t be able to smell the goods or open the container, you can handle the packaging and examine the labeling. Contrary to common assumption, marijuana shops in America do not permit on-site use like the cannabis cafés in Amsterdam.
No Returns
Sellers of medicinal cannabis follow the same reasoning as pharmacies do for prescription drugs in that returns are not permitted. Once you leave the Montana dispensary, you won’t be able to swap, return, or receive a refund on any cannabis items. For this reason, after you’ve chosen a product you think you will like, our patient coordinators advise starting modestly with the amount you buy.
Most Montana weed dispensaries sell single cookies or pre-rolls to allow you to explore various products without spending a lot of money. Additionally, you might feel pressure to buy something, but resist it—it’s okay to visit a cannabis store and leave empty-handed.
