Why Deli Style Weed? A Look at the Perks of a More Transparent Dispensary Experience

For many years in Massachusetts, shopping for cannabis has involved going to the dispensary, perusing the pre-packaged flower, and making selections. However, if you shop at one of MACs dispensaries in Chicopee or Amherst, you now have a totally new, and far-more customer-rewarding shopping experience opportunity: deli style cannabis. Plus, this is available whether you are a medical or recreational customer.

Deli style dispensaries in Massachusetts are not easy to find. We’re actually one of the few in the entire state! But why deli style? Is it really that different from shopping for cannabis the traditional way? In short, deli-style cannabis shows customers we have nothing to hide when showing you our flower collection. Take a look at all the ways this more transparent method of shopping for weed can be beneficial.

Why Deli Style Cannabis? A Look at the Benefits

Interact with What You Buy on a Deeper Level

Deli-style cannabis allows customers to engage directly with the flower before purchase. Unlike traditional dispensary shopping where products are sealed and often out of sight until purchase, deli-style lets you see the flower up close, smell the terpenes, and sometimes even touch the cannabis before buying. The ability to interact with the product fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation, akin to selecting a fine wine or a gourmet cheese.

Never Get Outdated Prepackaged Flower

One of the significant drawbacks of prepackaged cannabis is the risk of purchasing product that has been sitting on shelves too long. Cannabis, like any agricultural product, has a shelf life, and its potency and flavor can degrade over time.

Deli-style dispensaries in Massachusetts like us here at MAC mitigate this issue by offering fresh, often straight-from-curing cannabis. Customers can ask about the harvest date but also experience the freshness firsthand. This is always important for experience, but particularly crucial for medical users who depend on the efficacy of their medication. With deli style, you get total transparency.

Pick Exactly What You Want

In a deli-style setup, customers aren’t limited to what’s already packaged. They can choose the exact strain, the exact buds they want, based on appearance, size, or even the trichome coverage.

This level of customization is rare in traditional retail settings and empowers consumers to tailor their purchase to their preferences or needs. Much like selecting cuts of meat or types of cheese at a deli, you get to walk away with confidence knowing you are taking home just what you want.

Get a Better Visual of Flower Quantity Before You Buy

Visibility is key when it comes to evaluating the volume and perceivable quality of cannabis. When cannabis is displayed deli-style, customers can see the quantity and quality of what they’re buying upfront. Some strains can be far more dense than others, while others have a more fluffy, lightweight structure.

Therefore, the visible size difference between an eighth of one strain and the next can be quite different. Plus, being able to visually inspect the trichome coverage, overall density, and even color of a bud can be huge when shopping.

This transparency reduces the chance of feeling shortchanged or disappointed with the product’s volume or quality upon opening at home. What you see at the dispensary is always what you get.
