What Can I Buy?
We only source high-quality, state-approved, cannabis and cannabis products from our licensed partners.
In each transaction, dispensaries are allowed to sell up to the equivalent of 28.35 grams or 1 ounce of usable cannabis to each legal customer per day.
That means, 28.35 grams (1 ounce) of dried flower, or 4 grams of solid cannabis concentrates or resin, or the equivalent of 4 grams of concentrate in liquid form (solution in milliliters),
or 4 grams of vaporized formulations (oil), or 1000 mg of multiple ingestible cannabis-infused products (10 100 mg packages) like gummies.
Legally allowable product categories include dried flower, concentrated oils, resin, vape formulas, tinctures, topicals, syringes, lozenges, and soft chews, but availability will vary by dispensary.
Perishable edibles like cookies and brownies are not available for purchase from any dispensary. Equivalency is based on total weight of the product sold.
For products containing both THC and CBD, equivalency is based on the total weight of the concentrate. For example, a product containing 400 mg of CBD and 100 mg of THC, total weight is 500 mg or 0.5 grams.
