Making Your First Dispensary Visit a Success
Visiting a cannabis dispensary for the first time can feel overwhelming, but with these helpful tips, you’ll navigate the experience like a pro. Whether you’re heading to one of NOXX’s welcoming locations in Grand Rapids or East Peoria, here’s everything you need to know for a smooth and informed shopping experience.
Before You Visit
- Bring a valid government-issued ID showing you’re 21 or older
- Carry cash, as many dispensaries have limited card payment options
- Research basic cannabis terms and products
- Consider your desired effects and consumption preferences
During Your Visit
When you arrive at any NOXX location, whether it’s the spacious 28th Street store or the convenient Plainfield Avenue spot, you’ll notice the professional atmosphere immediately. The security measures are standard practice, so don’t be surprised by the check-in process.
Our knowledgeable budtenders are there to help guide your selection. Be honest about your experience level and ask questions – that’s what they’re there for! They can explain the difference between various strains, consumption methods, and potency levels.
Shopping Tips
- Start with lower THC products if you’re new to cannabis
- Consider purchasing smaller amounts to test different products
- Ask about special deals and loyalty programs
- Request a product certificate of analysis if interested
After Your Purchase
Remember to store your products properly at home in a cool, dark place away from children and pets. Keep your receipt for reference, and start with small doses when trying new products. Each NOXX location, including our East Peoria and Cookies Grand Rapids stores, provides educational materials about responsible consumption.
Location-Specific Tips
If you’re visiting our Ann Street location in Grand Rapids, street parking is readily available. The East Peoria store features a spacious parking lot, making it easily accessible for all customers. Each location offers unique daily specials, so check their individual menus before visiting.
Remember that cannabis products must be transported in their original packaging and stored in your trunk while driving. Don’t consume in public spaces or while operating vehicles.
These guidelines will help ensure your dispensary visit is productive and enjoyable. NOXX is committed to providing a welcoming environment for both new and experienced cannabis consumers, with locations designed to make your shopping experience comfortable and educational.
