In the pursuit of finding a trustworthy recommendation for good cannabis strains to smoke while gaming, we spoke to budtenders’ from dispensaries in three states to give their professional expertise.
As the prohibition of cannabis slowly but surely comes to an inevitable end, it’s countrywide legalization has brought about a dispensary uprising in every newly ratified state. Resulting in a tsunami of new laws, dispensaries, production facilities, grow oops, jobs, job titles, medical certifications, educational classes, and even degrees! This is what we have been waiting for people!
In the middle of all the excitement, cannabis dispensaries are the delivery systems of the final products. Employees at most dispensaries are given samples of vendor products and a sizable discount, allowing them the pleasure to expand on their own experience and knowledge about the product they distribute.
Budtenders’ are assigned the task of guiding us, in their professional opinions, towards our most compatible items within their employed dispensary. Politically speaking, budtenders’ are some of the most credible sources when seeking the ins and outs of cannabis, even for trivial questions like which cannabis strains will make gaming more enjoyable?

Aaren: “Overwatch, Apex Legends, and RuneScape!”
