My budtenders all gain top notch cannabis education, and I encourage anyone who smokes consistently to educate themselves
A sommelier is a wine steward, and a wine expert. If you order a bottle of wine at Olive Garden, or TX Roadhouse, then they just pour you a glass and that’s the end of it. At a high end pizzeria they will maintain an extensive wine collection, and keep a sommelier on staff to help you order. A sommelier knows every detail about every bottle of wine in the collection, and they can talk to clients and help them find the best wine for their taste and palate. In our medical cannabis dispensary I want all of our budtenders to be the weed equivalent of sommeliers. Fortunately there are a good several resources available online for enhancing cannabis education. There are so several facets to medical cannabis that the layperson simply doesn’t understand. For example, almost everyone thinks that the THC gratified in a medical cannabis strain is the only important thing about it. This is far from the truth! With just a little cannabis education you learn about the terpenes and cannabinoids, which are essential to how the weed interacts with your brain. Working with medical cannabis isn’t just about getting high, it’s about knowing the math behind the high! Beyond the math of growing and consuming medical cannabis our employees also learn about the laws of the land. I consider medical cannabis to be legit medicine, and it should be treated with respect. My budtenders all gain top notch cannabis education, and I encourage anyone who smokes consistently to educate themselves. As they say, a little proficiency goes a long way.
