Before visiting a Bremerton dispensary, make sure you know what you want to achieve and what you need to bring with you. Also, take a moment to consider what you want from a dispensary.
To help you make your next visit a success, we’ve gathered some wisdom for you below.
What Do You Want From Your Cannabis Experience?
Before stopping by a Bremerton dispensary, think about why you want to go. What is it that you’re trying to achieve?
If you’re looking to use cannabis recreationally, your main goal may be to try new-to-you products, find a relaxing/energizing/soothing (etc.) strain, or to otherwise work cannabis into your routine via topicals, oils, or another product.
Your budtender will recommend different products based on your goal and history with cannabis, so really think about what desired effect you want. It’s also a good idea to think about consumption method. Are you looking for flower? Want to try vaping? Interested in delicious edibles? Knowing a bit about what you want will help you have a more positive dispensary visit.
If you’re a medical marijuana patient, you’ll want to share the symptoms you’d like to address with your budtender. When it comes to consumption method, think about what method you’re comfortable with. Different methods have varying onset times. If you need quick relief, smoking and vaping may be best. Sublingual tinctures are also great for this. If you need more lasting relief (and if a slower onset is acceptable), you may prefer capsules. Ultimately, some people just don’t want to smoke—and that’s ok! There are plenty of other ways to use medical marijuana. Just be sure to share that info with your budtender.
What Should You Bring to a Dispensary?
Before stopping by a Bremerton, WA marijuana dispensary, make sure you have either a state-issued ID or a passport. You’ll need to show that you’re of age to even enter. If you’re a medical marijuana patient, be sure to bring your medical card with you too. It can help save you some money!
If you’re considering self-medicating for a condition so you don’t have to go through the trouble of getting certified for a medical card, give the idea another thought. Right now, recreational adult-users pay a 37% excise tax on their cannabis purchases. Medical patients are exempt from this tax.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Bremerton, WA marijuana dispensary budtenders are trained to help dispensary visitors. If you have a questions (or several), don’t be afraid to ask!
