What To Know On Your First Visit To A Cannabis Collective In California

Updated: Oct 13, 2021

If you're a California resident, then there's a good chance that you may be interested in visiting a cannabis collective. And if this is your first time going to one, it can seem pretty daunting and confusing! But don't worry you'll find out the basics in this article. Read on to find out what questions to ask before going, how much weed costs at these collectives, and more!


The law has finally caught up to the times, and it is now legal for adults over 21 years old in California. The new regulations will allow people of all ages who meet certain qualifications (such as being a resident) to purchase marijuana with specific conditions such as ID checks at dispensaries or retail stores that are licensed by local governments like cities or towns where they live!


In 2018 alone there has been big changes when Proposition 64 passed, which made cannabis regulation an option alongside other drugs instead of legalizing only medicinal usage - so not just Cancer patients can reap its benefits anymore; this means those living outside urban areas may find themselves interested too due simply because there isn't much around them to make it accessible.



What Should I Know Before Visiting A Cannabis Collective In California?


It's possible that going to a cannabis shop may be frightening, even with the fact that marijuana is allowed. If this is your first trip to a dispensary, here's what you should anticipate:


Know What You're Buying

When you walk into a dispensary, be sure you know precisely what product you're looking for. When you enter a dispensary and see hundreds of items, don't be shocked; most people aren't aware of these things yet - so if necessary, asking for assistance from someone who appears to be knowledgeable would be ideal!

  • Ask for help!

  • Be aware of what you're looking for

  • Know precisely what product you want

  • Take your time to do research before shopping

Bring Enough Cash

The fact is Cannabis can become a bit pricey due to its popularity but with many different options now available at many dispensaries there are more chances than ever before they will offer discounts or deals on certain days too which also helps keep costs down.

  • Make sure to ask about their payment options. Most, if not all of them will take cash as well - even though more and more shops are offering card machines for purchases!

  • The sale of marijuana is illegal under federal law. As a result, the stores are compelled to function almost entirely on cash because banks wouldn't do business with them.

You should find ATMs inside most retailers so you shouldn't need any extra money unless it's after hours when all machines go down!


Make A Habit Out Of Keeping Your State-Issued Identity With You At All Times

Cannabis shops usually ask for this. Your medical marijuana card should never be forgotten or left in the car because it can get taken by someone else who might want to use that as proof they're allowed under law, too!


If you have a medical marijuana recommendation, double-check that it's still valid. Most are good for six months to a year and be ready to hand them your ID along with it. Making a habit of it is a good idea.
