Where Can I Buy?

• In each transaction, dispensaries are allowed to sell up to the equivalent of 28.35 grams or 1 ounce of usable cannabis to each legal customer per day. 

• That means, 28.35 grams (1 ounce) of dried flower, or 4 grams of solid cannabis concentrates or resin, or the equivalent of 4 grams of concentrate in liquid form (solution in milliliters),

• or 4 grams of vaporized formulations (oil), or 1000 mg of multiple ingestible cannabis-infused products (10 100 mg packages) like gummies.

• Legally allowable product categories include dried flower, concentrated oils, resin, vape formulas, tinctures, topicals, syringes, lozenges, and soft chews, but availability will vary by dispensary.

• Perishable edibles like cookies and brownies are not available for purchase from any dispensary. Equivalency is based on total weight of the product sold.

• For products containing both THC and CBD, equivalency is based on the total weight of the concentrate. For example, a product containing 400 mg of CBD and 100 mg of THC, total weight is 500 mg or 0.5 grams.
