Navigating the relatively new world of legal, medical marijuana (also called cannabis) is not simple. Trying to get your head around the different regulations in different provinces, marijuana strains, hemp, CBD, THC, terpenes, edibles, and oils, if you want to, is tough. So, how do you know which ones to trust for safe, effective products?

As experts in the field, we at The Leaf Collection have written down the top three things to look for in a cannabis/marijuana dispensary.

1. Quality
You should always consider the quality of the cannabis product before buying. Quality is not just of THC but also ask about the terpenes! Flowers with the highest THC are not always the best quality and will not always get you where you need to be. Flowers that lack terpenes and complex cannabinoids produce an experience that is short-lived and even anxiety-provoking. Always ask our very knowledgeable budtenders who pick and choose the best buds in the market to present in our store. Also, always make sure you look at the packaging date!

At The Leaf Collection, we always make sure to have the freshest batches, so our customers only get the very best.

2. Trust
It is very important for you to find a budtender you trust. Suppose they are not answering your questions and taking the time out to explain everything, then you are not in the right place. Another thing you can do when choosing a cannabis dispensary is to look at reviews and ask around for recommendations. If a dispensary has great customer service, you want to hear from customers that can confirm that.

All our budtenders are big cannabis enthusiasts who are very passionate about the flower and the industry. Come and check us out!

3. Customer service
The first thing a good budtender will want to know is why you’re there or what your goal with cannabis is. You can expect to be asked whether you want to be relaxed or uplifted to start. You may also be asked if you prefer Indica or Sativa. Most cannabis on the market is Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid (a mix of both Indica and Sativa). “Indica” is described colloquially as “in da couch,” as it’s generally relaxing and soporific, while Sativa can be stimulating, creative, and social. Hybrids combine qualities of both in various ratios. If you have trouble sleeping, you probably want to smoke Indica before you go to bed. Sativa is like an upper that gives you a head high, a head rush, and is usually associated with creativity.
