Leaving the house isn’t a good time. There’s traffic, lines, and the price of that Tim Horton’s coffee you always seem to pick up along the way.
Buying weed online is cheaper, gives you more selection, and takes less time than trecking out to a store.
If you’re worried you won’t get as much attention online as in store – don’t worry! Online dispensaries combat that with phone lines and online chats.

Why Buy Weed Online
Do you use marijuana for a medical condition? Is your weed strictly to treat symptoms of a painful or chronic disease?
Then you know that leaving the house in the middle of a symptom flare is close to hell. Why should you have to go in and get more weed when plenty of pharmacies deliver?
You don’t have to. There are companies that will bring your prescription herb to you. That way you can stay inside, where your symptoms are more easily handled.
Better Attention
When you’re buying weed online, you don’t have to worry about holding up the line for other patients. You can take all the time you need browsing the different strains.
If you don’t know exactly what you want, you can write down a list of a few choices and discuss them with the dispensary over the phone or via online chat.
Bud-tenders are still there to help you – it’s just more about a virtual interaction than it would be in person.
Need advice on where to start? If you’re looking to change strains from last time, look into the mother and father of the strain you just had.
It’s like a pedigree – you can trace the other “siblings” of the current strain you’re smoking.
Verification is Easy
When you walk into a store, you can easily have the wool pulled over your eyes by fast-talking salesmen. How many times have you actually sought out the license number or official documents of a dispensary?
In person, probably not often. When you shop online, that option is more easily available. You can look up the company on Google and find whatever information is available.
One way to find out if they’re legitimate is to look at the quality of their website. Did they seem to spend money and time developing it?
Scroll down to the very bottom of the page. You should see links like SiteMap, Contact Us, About Us – and “developed by ____ web design company”.
Having those things shows you they put time and thought into the development and you’re less likely to get scammed.
If someone was popping up websites between getting caught for selling without a permit, their site wouldn’t be thorough.
It’s also a good idea to check into their social media profiles. If they have a solid presence, again, it’s proof they’re legitimate.
Check Certifications
Along with making sure they practice with legitimate business strategies, you need to know if they’re certified. You should be able to see their certification status somewhere on their website.
This tells you they’ve filed the appropriate paperwork with the government. Them operating under province or national law keeps you safe – legally.
User Profiles
Some sites allow you to save information for easy checkout, but also easy shopping. If you’re loving the strain you get but lost the bottle, you can log in and check what you ordered.
This also comes in handy for recommending other strains. Just like on other eCommerce sites where one product is related to others – like a pair of pants that would go well with a new shirt.
More Choices
When you see what’s available online, you skip over the potential new employee who isn’t familiar with all the products. You can see the store’s full range of offerings – even things they’re out of in-store.
It’s more legitimate to know they’re ordering something for you that’s out of stock when you have an order number to refer back to.
This also applies to edibles – the range of ingest-able marijuana products is unimaginably big. When you shop online you won’t be as overwhelmed than if you were looking in the shop counter glass.
Many of the edibles are very similar, as that you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between simple packaging. Changes to watch out for include flavor, dosage level, and serving size.
Pricing
Finally, buying weed online allows you to shop for the best price. Saving money matters, especially if you can’t work due to your health condition.
When you shop online you can compare prices from different dispensaries. One may have lower prices on edibles, while another sells loose herb at a better price.
It all depends on what you need. Someone who refuses to smoke but like to vape wants a place with affordable e-liquid.
Someone who won’t smoke but prefers to eat their dosage doesn’t care about the ounce and gram pricing.
Your preferences and budget matter. Take the time to find the best dispensary for you.
Buying Weed Online: How To
If you’re not computer savvy – do you have a friend or a family member that can help you? It’s important not to get bogged down with the details or just buy from the first site you see.
Buying weed online should be easy, but it’s like anything else – it takes practice. You’ll get the hang of it, but maybe shop BEFORE you partake.
That could muddle up the process quite a bit.
