Hydrolife Canada February/March 2017

cannabis research ahead of time, have
an idea of the effect they’re seeking,
and take note of how cannabis
affected them in the past. The more
information someone has before
purchasing product, the better.
Parking Lots and Exits
At the conclusion of a dispensary
shopping experience, patrons should
aim for a quick departure from both the
building and the parking lot. Again,
this practice is in the best interest of
customer safety; depending on the locale
of the dispensary, crowds in cannabis
dispensary parking lots can easily
attract unsavory attention.
Also, remember that a dispensary can
lose its licence if cannabis consumption
or sharing occurs on its property.
Clients must never consume cannabis
products in the parking lot or within a
vehicle on the premises. Furthermore,
they must not share cannabis with any
friends or family that were in the car.
There are many legalities surrounding
this type of “distribution”.
Finally, cannabis patrons must respect
the parking areas and properties of
other businesses near the dispensary.
“Prepare yourself with
knowledge and follow some basic
etiquette, and everyone will feel
the positive benefits.”
The taboos surrounding cannabis
culture already present the industry with
enough challenges; irresponsible actions
like vagrancy, loitering, and illegal
parking just make things more difficult
for everyone as they give the public a
negative view of cannabis consumers.
Visiting a dispensary for the first time
can be nerve-wracking,
but it doesn’t have to be
a negative experience.
Prepare yourself with
knowledge and follow
some basic etiquette,
and everyone will feel
the positive benefits.
