How to Save Money at the Dispensary
Once you’ve been certified for medical marijuana use by a licensed Kentucky physician, you are ready to visit a dispensary! Most Kentuckians travel to a recreational state, such as Michigan, Illinois, or Missouri and purchase from a dispensary. Prices vary widely based on what state you’re in, as well as from store to store. But, there are some general tips you can follow to stretch your dollar farther at the dispensary.
Compare prices: Research and compare prices at different dispensaries in the areas you plan on traveling to. Prices can vary significantly, so it's worth checking out multiple options to find the best deals. Most dispensaries post their entire menus online.
Look for promotions and discounts: Many dispensaries offer promotions, discounts, and loyalty programs. Keep an eye out for special deals, happy hours, bulk discounts, or special discounts for veterans or seniors.
Buy in bulk: Purchasing larger quantities of cannabis products can often lead to cost savings. Consider buying larger packages or sharing purchases with friends or family members to take advantage of bulk discounts.
Check for daily or weekly specials: Some dispensaries have specific days of the week or times of the day when they offer discounted prices on certain products. Stay informed about these specials and plan your purchases accordingly.
Consider lower-priced options: Dispensaries often offer a range of products at different price points. You might find that lower-priced options still meet your needs and offer good value for money. Don't hesitate to ask dispensary staff for recommendations.
Avoid impulse buying: Set a budget for your dispensary visits and stick to it. Impulse buying can lead to overspending. Make a list of what you need beforehand and focus on purchasing those items to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Explore alternative consumption methods: Some consumption methods, such as edibles or vaporizers, might be more cost-effective in the long run compared to smoking. They may also offer different potency options, allowing you to use smaller quantities and make your purchases last longer.
Remember, it's essential to prioritize your own health and safety when purchasing cannabis products. Make sure to buy from licensed dispensaries and comply with local laws and regulations.
