Dispensaries are retail locations that sell cannabis products, including flowers, edibles, and concentrates. They are often licensed by state or local governments to ensure compliance with regulations. Dispensaries cater to both medical and recreational users, providing a safe environment for purchasing cannabis. In addition to selling products, dispensaries typically offer educational resources to help customers understand the different strains and their effects. Staff members, often called budtenders, are trained to assist customers in selecting the right products based on their needs and preferences.
