Did you know?

What is a Budtender?

Many customers walking into a cannabis dispensary might not know much about what is available and how to use the products correctly. This is where Budtenders can offer guidance.

The title comes with a lot of responsibility. Budtenders must have extensive knowledge and skill, and be passionate about the products, too.
