The Relevance Of Your Local Medical Marijuana Dispensary

By Alyce Larson


The description of a medical marijuana dispensary as a place where you or your caregivers can go to purchase medical grade cannabis is no longer news. Many people also know that these dispensaries require you to present an identification card and prescription before they can supply your needs. Many doctors prescribe cannabis to their patients in order to manage the pains they experience from diseases such as cancer.

The major activity performed by these dispensaries is simply to provide sick people with health grade marijuana. You will agree that conventional pharmacists cannot supply cannabis because it is still widely considered illegal in most states. Thus, only special centers that can go through the approval and certification process are allowed to stock Cannabis for sale because of its medicinal value.

In fact, the law in some places now makes special provisions for these dispensaries to operate under the covers of the law. Interestingly, a typical center would have a large collection of different strains of marijuana for them to satisfy the tastes and preferences of the consumers. Some of the notable strains that they have in stock include Haze, Widow, Jack, Purple and Cali9 that is also known as the VIP strain.

You may also be interested in knowing that some dispensaries are outfitted with lounges where people can take time to have a feel of the marijuana in the company in the company of others. In addition, the lounge also provides you with a venue for interacting with experienced users if you are taking marijuana for the first time. It may interest you to know that you can get much direction from experienced users.

One other great function performed by approved dispensaries is that save people from undertaking journeys to illegal sellers. The fact remains that people often disregard the risks involved in going to neighborhoods with high crime rates inasmuch as they can be sure of getting cannabis to get respite and ease their pains.

Yet, the fact remains that such risks are usually overwhelming because of the caliber of people who do the illegal dealing. For one, honest law-abiding citizens expose themselves to muggings, rape or even death when caught in a shoot-out between rival gangs. More risky is the potential for arrest and incarceration if they are caught by law officials and tried in a court.

More so, these companies can see to it that you get the product at reasonable prices by protecting you from sky-high prices from dealers. Many dealers cannot but raise their prices because they have to deliver returns to the crime bosses of the underworld. On the contrary, the prices at these centers are fair to the final consumers due to government regulations.

Another important point to be considered is that a medical marijuana dispensary can ensure that cannabis use is regulated to mitigate substance abuse. Many people unintentionally become addicted to using cannabis when their dosage is not regulated and the supply of cannabis is in excess. Hence, dispensaries can ensure that you only get cannabis when it is needed and in manageable quantities.
