A herb dispensary is a store that sells cannabis. "Herb" is common slang for cannabis flower, the dried bud of the Cannabis plant. The same business may be called a cannabis dispensary, a marijuana dispensary, or a pot shop.

These stores run under state law. Federal law lists cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance, so no dispensary can sell across state lines or ship by mail.

What a herb dispensary sells

Stock changes by state. Some states cap THC per package. Colorado limits adult-use edibles to 10 mg THC per serving and 100 mg per package.

Licensing and rules

Each state runs its own program. A dispensary holds a license from a state agency. Licenses fall into three groups: medical, adult-use, or both. Adult-use buyers must be 21 or older and show a government photo ID. Medical patients can be under 21 in some states. They need a state card or a doctor's certification.

States require lab tests. Tests measure THC and CBD levels. They also check for pesticides, mold, heavy metals, and leftover solvents.

Purchase limits apply. California lets adults 21 and older buy 28.5 grams of flower and 8 grams of concentrate per day.

What a herb dispensary is not

It is not a pharmacy. No prescription is filled there, and no pharmacist works on site. It is also not an herbal apothecary that sells chamomile, echinacea, or lavender. The FDA treats those items as dietary supplements, not drugs.

Payment works in its own way. Federal banking law keeps most card networks out of the cannabis trade, so many stores take cash. Some run debit payments through a third-party processor. Some keep an ATM inside the shop.

Online ordering and delivery

Many dispensaries take orders on a website for pickup at the counter. Some states license home delivery. Both stay inside state borders. Sending cannabis through the US Postal Service or a private carrier is a federal crime.

How to check a dispensary is legal

Ask for the state license number. Most states post a list of active licensees on a public website. A legal shop checks ID at the door or at the register and prints THC content and batch dates on the label.
