About this topic

Where do you buy, what do you show at the door, and what will it cost with tax? These guides cover shop types that differ sharply by place: dispensaries, provincial stores, coffeeshops, pharmacies and clubs. The place guides say what a licensed seller looks like in that market and what a visitor can walk out with.

  • Buying cannabis in Colorado covers limits, ID, taxes and where use is allowed.
  • California explains how to tell a licensed shop from an illegal one.
  • Canada by province shows who sells where.
  • Amsterdam coffeeshops sets out the rules for visitors.
  • Curaleaf is one of the chain guides, on stores, brands and rewards.

Once you know the rules, compare licensed shops in your own city in the Verdex seller ratings, and use the safety category to check a seller before you pay.
