And everyone over 30 wants that exact type of weed, and it takes only a couple trips to the weed store to realize, all the salespeople are uni kids completely borked out of their braincases, and are making shit up on the spot, everytime.
If that kind of weed existed, the over 30 crowd would have been tweeting "omg i found the answer to Ambien, it's Ooga Booga Skywalker Cake!!!!!!11!", but they haven't because it doesn't exist.
The kids just want to get stoned, make minimum wage, and send you on your way happy, they sincerely know only slightly more than you do, but they're paid to act as if they're dope experts.
Nah. I work in a dispo. I’d say about half of us know what we’re talking about. There’s an actual science for people that care to learn, but even most customers eyes glaze over when I try to tell them that this 65% THC 15% Terpene oil pen is gonna give them a better quality high than the 96% THC flavored one. Or that just because THC number is higher, doesn’t mean you’ll get higher.
Idk I've frequented several shops ran by the owner/bud tender who was very particular about their product and while they wouldn't pitch it as anything 'magic' or 'cure for x' they'd fairly accurately describe the effects of the different strains they offered. It does depend though, I've had just as many experiences as you've described, and that's before accounting that everyone will react somewhat differently to varying levels of different cannabinoids.
My first big thing I tell people looking for really specific effects is that everyone is different so for most people it’s gonna take some trial and error to find exactly what you’ll like, but the generalities apply for a good amount of people.
What's with the weird over 30 shit? Obsessing over weed strains is a college kid's game. Also nobody is baked at any dispensary I've gone to since it became legal. Pretty sure it's not allowed
I’d say you’ve still got a decent chance of getting a high Budtender. Most places aren’t super strict about it as long as you’re not like blasted. But generally the ones who get ultra zooted every shift isn’t last lol
If they ask if you prefer "indica or sativa," feel free to ignore anything that person has to say on the subject. It isn't necessarily their fault, but they are severely misinformed, so it isn't likely anything they say has an actual basis in reality.
Indica or sativa is still generally the best way to narrow down what someone wants. And the majority of indicas are gonna be heavier, and a majority of sativas more heady and energetic. That said, there’s lots that don’t. And for places like where I am, without terpene testing for flower, apart from guessing off of smell, indica or sativa is what we got.
It also goes both ways. Some people don’t want to hear new info or try something different. I can’t try to explain that this particular indica is very heady, but if they want their Indica they can get it.
