Recreational weed is finally legal in Springfield, Missouri.
Once the ballot passed, there was a considerable wait before local dispensaries opened their doors.
I am delighted by the opportunity to purchase cannabis from a licensed shop. Our state’s low prices and taxes make an exploration of different options affordable. The local dispensaries offer a wide selection of brands, consumption methods and strains. I can pick and choose from indicas, sativas, hybrids and lots of varieties of CBD products. Everything is pesticide free, lab tested, organically grown and perfectly safe. The packaging is secure and the labels provide essential information, such as THC levels and recommended dosage. The dispensary is closest proximity to my home in Springfield is locally owned and carry truly amazing strains of dried flower. The freshness is evident from the pungent aromas. The terpenes cover everything from earthy, spicy and diesel to citrusy, fruity and sweet. The bright orange color of the hair-like pistils ensures that the bud was harvested at peak maturity. The abundance of crystal-like trichomes evidences careful handling during the curing process. There is never any sign of webs or mold, and the texture of the big, dense buds is perfect. I can be sure the flower is going to provide an enjoyable smoke. When I don’t feel like going to the work of rolling my own joint, I can easily pick up a pre-roll. The dispensary sells them in singles and packs, and I can get an extra potency boost with infused varieties. For a more discreet smoke, there is a nearly endless inventory of disposable vape pens and refillable carts. Until I visited the dispensary in Springfield, I’d never been interested in vaping. However, the budtender explained the advantages and I gave it a try. I was amazed by the clean flavor and simplicty. I like that the vape pens fit into a pocket and don’t create strong odors, smoke or ash.
