What Is Budtender?
A budtender is a dispensary staff member who helps customers choose cannabis products — like a bartender but for cannabis.
Budtender Explained
A budtender is a retail associate at a cannabis dispensary who assists customers with product selection, education, and recommendations. Budtenders are trained on product knowledge including strains, cannabinoid profiles, terpenes, consumption methods, and dosing guidelines. They help both new and experienced consumers find the right products for their needs. Good budtenders ask about your experience level, desired effects, and preferences before making recommendations.
Why It Matters
Budtenders are your best resource at the dispensary. They can help you navigate the menu, understand products, and find what works for your specific needs and experience level.
