DISPENSARY NIGHTMARES TV

The explosion of retail commerce locations for the purpose of selling small, personal amounts of approbate marijuana has brought on a wave of both good and not so good experiences - there are 10 million ways to skin a cat but due to extremely obtuse codes of behavior around THC containing products, the ability to "be novel" is extremely curtailed, leading to a "we don't need to try" mentality that treats the dispensary experience much like we treat a deli experience "I'll take a bit of this, a bit of that, good bye".

To counteract this very narrow environment to work within, dispensary owners have gone into the aesthetic realm to create themed rooms, wood furnishings, and gallery-like rooms that feel akin to a flooring materials show - attempting to create an inviting bubble for people to be in while they work with the budtenders to make a purchase.

Thousands and thousands of dispensaries, many with no more than a few shelves, a glass case to separate the customer and budtenders and a cash register. These "shops" are the result of the lifeless environment created by Salem Lawmakers who don't consume THC.

With cannabinoids making up some of the most demanded substances on the face of the earth, it does make sense that the state-level bureaucrats would want to racketeer the chain of custody, the nature of our associations, and the amounts and potencies we deal with.

The racketeering job has led to some of the worse weed and weed products being allowed on the shelf that has existed on this planet. Lack of potency, lack of purity, and lack of consistency is commonplace in the approbate cannabinoid market.

The silver lining to this completely colonized environment is that it has led to thousands of dispensaries and many of them of veritable nightmares, others look nice, but are simply veneers for a shoddy business, peddling shoddy products.

A charismatic, brash talking "expert" could create a internet show where they find struggling dispensaries, go in, shop them, then circle back and show the managers and the owners exactly why their business is struggling and show them the roadmap towards running a profitable business with products that real cannabis people would be proud to buy.

Dispensairies do not make their products, they are simply just curators of the products offered by producers and processors. This means they live or die based on their ability to see quality, and negotiate a business relationship that allows customers to get access to quality.

They are nothing more than Mark-up specialists who live or die by merchandising and getting the customer out the door in a way that will make them choose to be a repeat customer.

The purchasing limits of the retail racketeering operation ensures that customers have to come back often, this allows clever dispensary owners the ability to constantly offer value-added deals that help their margin and introduce new to them products to customers.

Rarely does this happen! Instead, you find that dispos have deals on various days for various products and this draws customers in for those specific product sales - this helps navigate interest levels and keep inventory rolling without getting stagnant. This does very little to get customers to buy more than they intended and the whole culture of exploration is completely ignored - this is a page out of the wine industry that involves always being thirsty for the new and the innovative.

This idea for an internet show, featuring nightmare dispensaries would be rather explosive, as you may know, there are some massive egos, massive ideologues operating within the Liquorhuana space. Shaking their tree could lead to some major fireworks, pointing out someone's lapse into Dunning-Krueger-ville is sometimes like having your snow-globe smashed around you. "The idea" that you know what your doing needs to be discarded.

The show would naturally have to attempt to answer the question "what makes a good dispensary?"

Well first, you keep the government as far away from the process of codification of cannabinoids and leave the decisions to people who actually consume cannabis in a serious manner.

Second, you cultivate an inviting sphere that magnetizes people into a constant estate of wanting to try new things, sample new products and be open to the next new thing.

Third, I would say, is that a dispensary has to figure out how to find consistent products in a world where the very regulations agreed to, breeds inconsistency. This means that flower and hash and concentrates all have to pass a minimum "finish" that includes consistency.

This last challenge is the bane of legalization because the very art of gardening and farming implies a large degree of variation and thus a margin of variance in all products.

This last point should not be taken lightly, nor should it be taken as the fault of industry workers, if we removed the regulations and codes that create the theater of safety, and only stuck with regulations that create actual safety, we could minimize variance and also push much of the bad weed, mediocre practices out of the market completely due to true market saturation of quality products.

If this show were to take shape, there would be a shake-up instantly as the issue would be spotlighted, that cannabinoid regulations are a nanny state-parental relationship, that stifles communities from bolstering themselves with a plant that is more or less harmless and racketeers it behind doors of dispensaries where the potency is diminished, the purity is lost, and the community is hijacked by outside corporate interests.

This show, would also spotlight that most of the "workers" operating dispensaries are not actually well in-formed, experienced, but bunny-hopped over from other industries to chase a career in a burgeoning economy. Usually you will find one or two people who "came from another dispensary" somewhere and they bring their culture of ignorance, that spreads to the new trainees. This is how the sativa for energy and indica for relaxation misnomer gets promulgated on and on into eternity.

Naturally, friends don't let friends shop in liquorhuana dispos, but if you wanted to pinpoint exactly why, then look no further than this show, because even the nicest looking dispensary has garbage on its shelves and products that wont stand up to lab tests when they have lab results of their own.

Who is going to fund this show? Likely not any celebrities trying to gallivant their way into the racket of cannabinoids. They have a need for shops to move their middies.

Speaking of middies, maybe also we can use this show to spotlight the organizations who have gone to the trouble to vertically integrate so that they can operate "hands-on their middies" from pot to purchase. This is another phenomenon that appears to extenuate the racket of corporations in our local communities.

cheaper - faster - but never a condition of purity or quality - that's a major difference between bottom-line drive corporations and community coops that a foundation to provide a value to uplift the community.

Dispensary Nightmares would ultimately spell nightmares for the false reality of safety that the codes on cannabinoids provide. This theater needs the hook, so that we can begin associating with each other without mediation of the state or federal government. The codes of behavior denigrate all of us, if even one of us gives in yo them like they are valid.

They are not valid and so we have a responsibility to say so at every instance where the sober sallies want to assert their parental codes.

Cannabinoid-deficient humans have no business attempting to codify cannabis.

Dispensary Nightmares Would Prove IT.
