Until the recent health threats from Covid, I enjoyed visiting the cannabis dispensary a couple times per month.
I liked the opportunity to see and smell the various products.
The budtenders are extremely knowledgeable and always offered really great advice. I’d go in and check out what the dispensary was offering on special. I looked forward to trying new methods of consumption and the different strains. The dispensary I frequent includes an on-site bakery. They make their own edibles and offer an extensive selection of cookies, brownies, chocolates and even cooking oils and spaghetti sauce. I could try a little sample before committing to the purchase. I would often order a cannabis infused tea or smoothie and sit in the cafe with a good book. I sometimes hung out in the vape lounge or dab bar. Visiting the dispensary was a social experience. I’d get to talk with like-minded people, make new friends and relax. Because of the many restrictions of Covid, the dispensary has been forced to close its doors. I’m now limited to either curbside pick-up or delivery. I shop from home through their website. I can still browse pictures and descriptions of their many products, but I can’t actually experience them. With a click of a button, I select items and then pay with my credit card. The process is quick, simple and convenient. I sign up for a delivery time and the packages arrive right at my front door. While I’m thankful I still have the ability to purchase cannabis products, I miss spending time at the dispensary.
