Making cannabis legal in Colorado has been a wonderful improvement over the last few years. More people are able to use their favorite products openly and others are able to try it for the first time without fearing the stigma that used to come with pot smoking. But just because there are more than 509 weed shops in Colorado doesn’t mean that everyone is shopping at them. In fact, many still buy product on the street. But that’s not always the best idea. Here’s why you should forget making deals in dark alleys and head to your closest dispensary for your next purchase.

Product Control
When you buy on the street, you’re taking the dealer’s word for the quality of the bud or concentrate you’re buying. But just because they say it’s good stuff doesn’t mean it is. You don’t know if the product is laced with other drugs, chemicals, or materials that can cause health issues. 

At your local dispensary, you’ll know that everything is cultivated and produced cleanly. There’s no need to worry about the cannabis being laced with something addictive or having known harmful ingredients. 

More Selection
It’s rare for street sellers to have more than a little bud or a few joints on them at any given time. They’re stuck selling things that are easy to conceal—after all, it’s still illegal to sell product on the street. 

When you shop at a local dispensary, you have access to hundreds of products under one roof. While this can seem overwhelming at first, it actually makes it easier for you to find the best products for your needs. Choose from high-quality bud and pre-rolled joints, pick up some delicious edibles, and try out a new topical or concentrate. You’re sure to find something you’ll love in a matter of minutes. 

Knowledgeable Staff
If you’ve never used before, you’re going to want some help in learning how to best prepare your products, find your dosage, and experience the best high possible. When you buy on the street, the person selling to you won’t have time to show you what to do. And, let’s face it, internet tutorials aren’t always the best choice.

At your local dispensary, you’ll have access to experienced budtenders who know the products they sell completely. They’ll be able to show you how to get the most out of each product you buy. And if you have questions, they’ll help you find the answers. You don’t have to go through the process alone.
