The difference between a licensed dispensary and a plug with a website is lab testing, accurate labels, and someone accountable if something is wrong. Here is how to find the real thing wherever you are.
The three checks
- License on display (or verifiable in your state regulator lookup).
- ID checked at the door. A store that does not card is telling you what else it skips.
- Lab-tested products in compliant packaging with batch numbers, not zip bags.
Search by where you are
The Ganja.com directory maps 20,000+ cannabis businesses across 21 countries: dispensaries, delivery, doctors and more. Start from your country or city, or check what is legal where you are first.
Look for the Verified Partner badge
Businesses with the green Verified Partner badge on their listing have been verified by Ganja.com and keep their information current, hours, menus and contact details you can trust.
Red flags
- Payment only by gift card, wire, or apps to a personal account.
- No physical address, or “meet me at” anything.
- Prices dramatically below every licensed store; untested product is the discount.
