I have been really working at the local cannabis dispensary for the last few years.
- I am the only original budtender left from when the cannabis dispensary first opened, but ever since our cannabis dispensary has gone from strictly medical cannabis to medical and both recreational cannabis, we have been having a lot of problems.
All of us have constantly had a strict policy on comportment. The supplier expects all budtenders to maintain a business, and yet friendly demeanor. Occasionally this is extremely taxing to do. Since recreational marijuana has been legalized, there is no reason to show ID, other than showing that you are over twenty-one. All of us don’t have a quota to how many people can enter at one time, however there is a quota to how many people are in the building at one time. When you get three or four persons in the building, it becomes a party site, and there can be some raucous behavior happening. I told our boss that if both of us refused to allow people into the building when they are under the influence, a lot of this behavior would stop, and last week, both of us had a young person come in who was blatantly under the influence. He not only started a large argument over the price of the weed, however he also cursed at one of the employees. I really guess it would be easier if they weren’t allowed inside the cannabis dispensary if they weren’t sober. As much as both of us have tried to get the boss to our side of the argument, no one thinks things are going to change. Even the rough bunch has the law with them about purchasing marijuana.
