Budtenders: The BEST Way to Learn About All Your Favorite Products
Mood Fine Cannabis dispensary in Eugene, Oregon
Becoming a Budtender can feel overwhelming at first. Aside from the usual customer service roles in all retail jobs, cannabis retail comes with a lot more responsibility and a never-ending learning curve. You learn about things like terpenes and how to read cannabis test results. Then you go even deeper learning about Government regulations and tracking systems.

You are prepared and feeling good, but then a customer comes in asking you about one of the 15 edibles, or 19 cartridges your shop offers that you haven’t gotten to try yet. Or let’s say you’re a dispensary manager that’s had a lot of turnover the last couple of years and you’re having a really hard time keeping your team up to date on the latest goods. Brands used to be able to schedule Budtender Education sessions at shops, but the pandemic threw a big wrench in that.
In the past, we would invite Budtenders to our facility for an immersive Budtender Education experience.
