Navigating the Green Scene Like a Pro
Let’s face it: shopping for cannabis has come a long way from those awkward behind-the-bleachers transactions we’ve seen in every teen movie ever. Now, at New Standard, the experience is more like walking into a sophisticated retail wonderland than anything else – though you might still get nervous when your mom asks where you spent your Saturday afternoon.
The Modern Cannabis Shopping Experience
Gone are the days of mysterious baggies and questionable origins. Today’s cannabis shopping experience is more like visiting an Apple Store, except the genius bar is staffed with knowledgeable budtenders who won’t judge you for asking “what’s the difference between indica and sativa” for the fifteenth time.
