Sometimes I just have to drop some bills.

What can I say? It's a cash-only business, after all. It happens about once a month, at roughly the exact same time that I get paid. You understand.

Welcome to High On Dispensaries #3!

This is a series I'm creating to share tips and tricks about buying, consuming and understanding cannabis products from a dispensary. So far, responses have been great! Thank you all so much for your support. I'll keep it up if you will.

In the dispensary where I work, I am actually one of the best customers. I believe in the products that we sell and I am 100% behind the industry as a whole. Once I made the switch from shady dealings I never looked back.😎

Anyway, all I intend to do with this post is describe yesterday's little shopping spree to you.

I figured that most of you are pretty unfamiliar with the specific cannabis products available. More importantly, I figured you're all wondering how much everything costs. I'll tell you what I paid!

Here we go.

First, I picked up an IndigoPro catridge for my wife. This cute little purple guy is amazing.

• Active THC - 80%
• Terpene-Infused Flavors
• Organic Cultivation

They use a state-of-the-art carbon dioxide extraction, which is the preferred method for vaping. Those .5 gram cartridges are sold for $45 in our store. The battery that vapes them costs $30, but we already have a couple. This is all-around the best vape company in Colorado.

My wife @carrieallen will be doing a review of the IndigoPro soon. Give her a follow if you're interested.

Next, I knew I needed some sugar wax.

Sometimes we like to put it on top of bowls we smoke, and sometimes we dab it. All the wax we sell in our shop is $26 for one gram. It's a good deal, and we have a lot of choices. This time I went with Sour Diesel, a sativa-dominant wax from a company called Yeti Farms.

The next thing I reached for on my shopping spree was a caviar joint.

Allow me to explain cannabis caviar.

They take some great top-shelf quality bud, then they use science to force high-grade hash oil through the bud, soaking it to its core. But they don't stop there. Then they go ahead and cover the bud with keif. Keif, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is basically trichomes that have fallen off the buds. It's a fine golden powder, extremely high in THC.

So that's caviar. It's hands-down my favorite product in the industry.

And because I like it so much, we sort of specialize in caviar in my shop. The joint that I picked up yesterday was a 1.25 gram roll from a company called XG Platinum (The best in CO caviar IMHO). It's a pure indica that tests at 44% THC. The strain is Ghost Dream x San Fernando Valley Kush. That one joint set me back $25.

Worth it.

I definitely needed some bud to go with all my concentrates.

So i picked up an eighth (3.5g) of one of our choice specials, Black Ice. That's another $28. Nothing fancy to see here, so no pic. 🤓

The last thing I wanted was to try a new edible. We had gotten some lovely little gummy candies from a new brand called TasteBudz that I really wanted to try. So I did! I grabbed a ten-pack of watermelon flavored indica gummies. This one was $20. Having tried them out last night, I must say I'm a fan. They're delicious!

There was one more thing I couldn't pass up on my shopping spree,

and that was bud samples. I grabbed .5 gram bags of Red-Headed Stranger, White Widow and Krome's the White. The best perk of my job is that I always have access to $3 one-half gram samples of any bud on our shelf. This is great, because it allows me to keep trying everything we sell, so I can give the best advice to customers. I also get 20% off of normal purchases for my employee discount. So although it may seem like I spent a fortune on my shopping spree, my grand total was...

One Hundred Twenty-Four Dollars!

I hope this gave you an idea of what the shopping experience is like from the perspective of a seasoned dispensary shopper (and manager). I notice in my work that a lot of people don't end up buying as much as they wanted to because of nervousness, jitters or whatever. Don't be nervous. Take your time and take advantage.

Thanks for reading about my shopping spree!

Apparently I have a lot of information to share with you. And with your continued support, maybe I can go on larger sprees. 😁

Here's a link to my first issue, basically an introduction.

And here's my second, about dabbing.
