Shop Deli Style Cannabis

Here at Commencement Bay Cannabis, our red store located in the McKinley Park area, we are dedicated to offering unique and satisfying ways to shop for your weed. Whether you’re visiting from Federal Way, University Place, or Lakewood, our CBC Red is now proud to introduce our latest addition: deli-style cannabis. Explore our selection and experience a personalized, hands-on approach to finding your perfect strain. We’re the only retailer in the state to bring this experience to you!

What is deli style cannabis?

Imagine walking into a dispensary in Tacoma, where you can see and smell the cannabis flowers before making a purchase. That’s the essence of deli-style cannabis!

Unlike pre-packaged cannabis flower, where the product is sealed and often a mystery until you open it at home, deli-style flower allows customers to select their own bud before purchase. This hands-on approach transforms the shopping experience into something much more interactive and personalized.

Within a deli-style dispensary, an informed budtender walks you through the selection journey. They weigh out buds right in front of you from bulk flower jars, allowing you to see exactly what you’re getting. This method ensures you can choose the strain and amount you want, which is then weighed and packaged on the spot. It starkly contrasts the anonymity of pre-packaged options, where there’s no direct interaction with the product before purchase and the pre-weighed nature of those products.

Moreover, this deli-style approach encourages a more profound relationship between the buyer and the buds. You get to engage with your favorite strain more meaningfully, examining its trichomes, colors, and aromas up close. This method enhances your confidence in the purchase and makes the entire experience more enjoyable.

 

What are the benefits of deli style cannabis?

Why should you consider shopping deli-style? From the sensory experience to freshness and quality control, customization, and transparency, deli-style cannabis brings several advantages that elevate your cannabis shopping experience. We’ll give you more details on the benefits of deli-style cannabis so you can see why it’s worth a try:

The Sensory Experience

A primary appeal of opting for deli-style cannabis lies in the sensory journey it affords. Deli-style dispensaries allow customers to:

  • Get a close-up look at various cannabis strains before purchasing, helping you to assess the appearance of the buds.
  • Have products displayed in glass containers, allowing consumers to closely examine the cannabis.
  • Visual inspection provides confidence in your purchase, ensuring you know exactly what you’re getting from all the products.

But it doesn’t stop at sight. Smell is a crucial factor when selecting cannabis, and deli-style dispensaries enable customers to:

  • Smell the cannabis flower, enhancing the sensory experience
  • Detect the various terpenes present, which contribute to the strain’s unique aroma and effects
  • Ensure its freshness and quality, and see if you like the way it smells

Freshness and Quality Control

Deli-style dispensaries stand out in the cannabis industry due to their exceptional emphasis on freshness and quality control. Unlike pre-packed options, deli-style dispensaries package cannabis flowers on the spot, ensuring that customers receive fresh products. One common misconception is that deli-style weed is less fresh than pre-packaged options, but it’s often fresher due to its bulk storage. Budtenders play a crucial role in this, as they inspect and handle the cannabis flowers directly, allowing for better detection of any quality issues.

Customization and Flexibility

The level of customization and flexibility that deli-style cannabis provides is unmatched. This method allows customers to purchase exact quantities, catering to individual usage preferences. Whether you want a small amount to try out a new strain or a larger quantity for regular use, deli-style dispensaries allow you to choose smaller or larger amounts of cannabis based on your budget and needs.

Moreover, consumers can mix and match different strains of cannabis, offering a personalized experience. It also enables consumers to try out new strains without committing to a large quantity, making it a versatile and customer-centric approach to buying weed.

Transparency and Trust

The deli-style cannabis approach greatly values transparency and trust:

  • Cannabis flowers are displayed in glass containers, ensuring transparency and allowing better customer interaction.
  • Budtenders weigh cannabis flowers in front of the customer, ensuring accuracy in quantity.
  • This real-time precision transaction eliminates doubts about quantity or hidden discrepancies.

Budtenders are key in this process, giving you all the info you need on each product – from how to use it to terpene profiles and cannabinoid levels. This hands-on approach guarantees quality and builds a community where this kind of transparency is the norm.

How to Shop Deli Style Weed

Shopping for deli-style cannabis is simple. When you visit our deli-style dispensary at CBC Red, you’ll be greeted by one of our budtenders, who will guide you through the process.

Here’s the process of purchasing deli-style cannabis at CBC Red: 

  1. The budtender will use tweezers to remove and weigh each selected bud in front of you, ensuring accuracy.
  2. After weighing, the budtender will affix a label with the purchase details to the container.
  3. The budtender will then hand the container to you, making the entire process transparent and interactive.

It’s really that easy!

What to check when shopping for cannabis deli style

Several crucial aspects need to be verified when shopping for deli-style cannabis to guarantee the best quality:

  1. Look for bright colors in the cannabis, such as greens, purples, and oranges, which indicate different strains.
  2. Frosty buds, rich in trichomes, indicate high levels of phytocannabinoids and terpenes.
  3. Next, inspect the smell of the buds. A potent fragrance often indicates a high-quality strain with strong terpene profiles.
  4. Finally, ask questions and communicate with your budtender about their recommendations and insights on different strains.
