A cannabis dispensary is a licensed retail establishment where individuals can legally purchase cannabis products for both medical and recreational use.
Do I need a prescription to buy cannabis from a dispensary?
It depends on your location. In some places, a prescription or medical card is required for purchasing medical cannabis, while recreational cannabis is available to adults without a prescription. Check your local regulations for specific requirements.
What types of cannabis products are available at a dispensary?
Cannabis dispensaries typically offer a variety of products, including flower (buds), pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and more.

You can use online resources, such as government websites, dispensary directories, and user reviews, to locate licensed and reputable dispensaries in your area.
What's the difference between medical and recreational cannabis?
Medical cannabis is typically prescribed to treat specific medical conditions, while recreational cannabis is used for enjoyment. The main difference often lies in the available products and the age or medical card requirements for purchase.

It's best to check with the specific dispensary about their accepted payment methods.
