Welcome. Whether this is your first time at a dispensary or your first time using cannabis at all, this guide will walk you through exactly what to expect. There are no dumb questions — our budtenders are here to help, not to judge.
Before you arrive
Bring a valid photo ID
You must have a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID proving you are 21 or older. We ID every customer, every time. We accept: driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport or passport card, military ID. Expired IDs are not accepted — even if your birthday is visible.
Bring cash or a debit card
In store, we accept cash and debit card (there's an ATM on-site if needed). Online pickup orders are paid at checkout by ACH or debit card. Credit cards are not accepted in either case, due to banking restrictions on cannabis businesses.
Optional: browse the menu ahead of time
Check our online menu before you come in. It helps to have a general sense of what category you're interested in (flower, edibles, vapes, etc.), but it's absolutely fine to walk in with no idea — that's what our team is for.
What to expect in store
ID check at the door
When you arrive, a staff member will check your ID. This is required by law — everyone gets carded. It takes about 30 seconds.
Talk to a budtender
Our budtenders are knowledgeable staff trained to help you find the right product. Don't be shy — telling them "this is my first time" is the most useful thing you can say. They'll ask a few questions to understand what you're looking for.
Browse and ask questions
Take your time. Ask to see products. Ask about THC percentage, terpenes, flavor, effect. There's no pressure to decide quickly. A good budtender will give you honest answers, not just push the most expensive option.
Checkout
Pay with cash or debit in store (online pickup orders are paid at checkout by ACH or debit), receive your products in their original child-resistant packaging, and you're done. Minnesota law requires products to stay in their sealed packaging while being transported in a vehicle.
What to tell your budtender
The more context you give, the better recommendation you'll get. Consider sharing:
- "This is my first time" — sets the right expectations immediately
- Your goal — relax, sleep, social, pain relief, creativity, etc.
- Your preference for method — "I don't want to smoke," "I want something discreet," "I've tried edibles before"
- Any anxiety about cannabis — if you're prone to anxiety, say so. High-THC products aren't for everyone and we'll steer you accordingly.
- Your budget — there's no embarrassment in having a price limit
First-time product recommendations
🍬 Low-dose edible
2.5–5 mg THC. Longest onset (wait 2 hours), longest duration. Great for first-timers who want a controlled, smokeless experience.
🌿 Low-THC flower or pre-roll
Under 15% THC. Faster onset makes it easier to gauge your response in real time. One puff, wait 15 minutes.
💨 Low-dose vape
One small inhalation, wait 10–15 minutes. Portable and discreet, with faster feedback than edibles.
💧 High-CBD tincture
High CBD:THC ratio. Non-intoxicating or very mildly so. Good for consumers wanting to explore with minimal psychoactive effect.
After your visit: the golden rules
- Start low, go slow. Your first session is not the time to over-consume.
- Don't drive. Plan your transportation before you consume.
- Don't mix with alcohol — especially for your first time. The combination amplifies effects unpredictably.
- Set and setting matter. A comfortable, familiar environment with people you trust makes for a better first experience.
- Have water nearby. Cannabis commonly causes dry mouth.
- If you feel overwhelmed: Find somewhere calm, drink water, breathe. The feeling will pass. It is not physically dangerous.
