Morning: Preparing for the Day
My alarm jolts me awake at 6:30 AM. As a budtender at Sacred Garden, our local recreational and medical cannabis dispensary, I need to be sharp and ready for the day ahead. After a quick shower and breakfast, I’m out the door by 7:45 AM.
8:30 AM: Arrival and Setup
I arrive at Sacred Garden thirty minutes before opening. Time to:
- Check inventory
- Ensure displays are neat and organized
- Review any new products or strain information
- Attend a brief team meeting
9:00 AM: Doors Open
The first customers start trickling in. Some are regulars seeking their favorite strains, while others are newcomers curious about cannabis. My role is to educate, guide, and ensure everyone finds the right product for their needs.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break
I use this time to relax and recharge. Sometimes, I’ll catch up on the latest cannabis news or research to stay informed about industry trends.
2:00 PM: Afternoon Rush
The dispensary gets busier as people stop by after work. I’m constantly on my toes, answering questions about THC and CBD ratios, recommending strains for specific conditions, and ensuring compliance with state regulations.
6:00 PM: Closing Time
As we wrap up for the day, I help with:
- Final inventory checks
- Cleaning and sanitizing the dispensary
- Securing all products in our vault
7:30 PM: Evening Reflection
Back home, I reflect on the day. Working at Sacred Garden isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s helping a patient find relief or guiding a recreational user to a safe, enjoyable experience, every day brings new challenges and rewards.
As I wind down for the night, I’m already looking forward to another day at Sacred Garden, where compassion meets cannabis expertise.
