Now that many states have passed laws to legalize marijuana, sales have skyrocketed. More and more marijuana dispensaries are popping up. Aside from smoking and vaping, users now have many options as to responsibly enjoy cannabis. Here are a few of the most popular items you can find at dispensaries.
Edibles
This can include THC-infused gummies, cakes, brownies, chocolates, and more. Edibles account for up to about 15% of dispensary sales. The only drawback with edibles is if you opt to eat them for medical purposes, you cannot accurately gauge the dosage. Also, unlike vaping or smoking, it may take a while before you notice the effects.
Flowers
This is the most preferred type of marijuana product. It accounts for about fifty percent of dispensary sales. Buds have a potency of about 20% and there are literally hundreds of types. Buds are a big draw for novice marijuana smokers. Repeat buyers help the base grow exponentially.
Cannabis Oil
This is a pretty broad category. The oil is pretty versatile and can be taken ingested in a variety of forms. Users should know that if you’re looking for something mild, CBD oil is a great place to start. Cannabis oil actually has a very low level of THC. The oils are, however, potent enough to help treat epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
Cannabis Drinks
You can find a lot of these flavorful drinks at the dispensary. Cannabis-infused drinks can be anything from coffee to cola to fruit punch. If you’re looking to enjoy your cannabis in a flavorful way, you can’t go wrong with drinks. Some drinks even contain melatonin to help you sleep.
Beauty Products
Cannabis-infused beauty products are growing by leaps and bounds. Mostly marketed to women, these products promise to do everything from diminishing acne to hydrating skin. While the benefits are largely anecdotal, you will at least enjoy a nice tingle on your skin while you’re using it.
Products for Animals
Believe it or not, cannabis can potentially even be used by animals. Several dispensaries offer infused dog treats. There is the matter of how safe marijuana is for pets. Will there be any adverse effects? It all depends upon the THC content. Of course, it’s best to do your research before buying any kind of product that contains cannabis. Always make sure you know what you are buying.
This is only a small sampling of what you may find at marijuana dispensaries. Be sure to do your research before you make a decision. If you aren’t sure where to start, consider speaking with a professional at your local marijuana dispensary.
