If you’re stepping into a dispensary for the first time, you’re not alone — and there’s no need to be intimidated. At Green Leaf NY in Newburgh, we help new customers every day and know exactly what questions come up most often.
Here are the most common budtender questions — answered simply to help you feel more confident before you even walk through the door.
❓“What’s the difference between indica and sativa?”
Many people assume these labels are the key to effects. In reality, it’s more about the product’s cannabinoid and terpene profile. Our team can explain what that means and help you find something that fits your goals — whether it’s focus, calm, or balance.
