A dispensary is a store through which medical supplies such as medical equipment and medicines are dispensed to members of the public. The attendant in the stores is usually a specialist who is trained in drug preparation and functioning. Marijuana versions of dispensaries dispense cannabis and all its products in a similar way to a conventional dispensary. Marijuana dispensaries in Phoenix are easy to locate because they are many and are located in places where they can be found easily.

The first instance of a dispensary dedicated to the selling of marijuana to be established in the United Sates was in the early 1990s. The dispensary was opened by an individual called Dennis Peron in San Francisco. The store was a San Francisco Cannabis Buyers club and it faced a lot of opposition in its first days because cannabis was still placed under strict regulatory laws. This dispensary was very vital in paving the way for future stores currently established in the US.

Cannabis is sold by two types of stores, recreational and medical dispensaries. People with medical conditions are commonly served in medical stores. Sales are made depending on the medical prescriptions made by physicians.

One is needed by the law to present their identity documents when they enter or purchase something in medical cannabis stores. These stores sell all preparations and products of cannabis including flowers, stems, buds, roots, and leaves. The various preparations are made in form of vapor, liquids or solid preparations. Fresh and dried supplies are also available. Those with prescriptions can buy anything they want. However, individuals without medical prescriptions have a limited choice.

In recreational cannabis stores, buyers are similarly required to show some identification document. Only individuals who are above the age of 21 are allowed to enter or make purchases from these stores. There may be some restrictions on the kind of products sold. In some places, recreational stores only sell flowers and are required by the law to be closed by seven in the evening.

The entrances of recreational stores may have armed guards to inspect identification documents. Banks are often reluctant to deal with these businesses, which makes them to operate as cash businesses only. The reluctance of banks is hugely because the product has not be approved by the federal government. Stores in states where sell and purchase of the product is approved have cameras installed to monitor activities. Installation of cameras is a provision in state laws.

Some facilities have menus of various preparations from which clients are required to choose. More than 20 different preparations of cannabis exist. Attendants are usually readily available to offer assistance. Indica and sativa are the two key classes of cannabis. A hybrid of the two varieties is also coming up strongly as a class on its own.

Prices often differ with the preparation bought. Prices of some preparations are usually higher than of others. Another determinant of price is the location. The product is sold more expensively in some places than others. The huge economic benefits associated with the products is helping in the debate towards its legalization.
