5 Things Aptos herbal consultants want you to know about buying cannabis

Whether you’re a regular at our Aptos dispensary or you’re completely new to cannabis, we hope you arrive curious and feel comfortable asking us about our products. Because the reality is, we love to talk about them! Whenever you make a purchase, consider our Herbal Consultants budtenders a resource: they know Aptos cannabis and are happy to help. Here is some information they want you to know when you visit.

1. We’re passionate about cannabis and love sharing our product knowledge.

It’s true: our Herbal Consultants  not only care about quality cannabis, but they also know our products inside and out. Our Aptos dispensary offers a wide variety of indoor, outdoor and greenhouse-grown recreational cannabis, including a selection of organic products. You can feel free to ask Herbal Consultants about specific products, how and where they are grown, and the difference between growing methods. You might just learn something new!

Some of their other favorite questions to answer include the following:

  • What will help me sleep?

  • What is your favorite strain right now?

  • What are the most popular brands and strains?

  • What’s the best on the shelf?

  • What’s new?

  • What do you  have a good deal on this week?

2. “Keep it local” is our mantra.

Our dispensaries offer some of the largest selections of locally grown cannabis. So when you shop at Santa Cruz Naturals, you can feel confident that your purchase is supporting local growers. We make it our mission to source 70% of our products from cannabis growers, connoisseurs, artisans and small-business owners right here in our community. Why? Because this community helps sustain our business, and we believe it’s our responsibility to support it in any way we can. 

3. …And that means our products are among the freshest available.

Local = fresh. While much of the cannabis market still relies on products grown in the Southern California deserts or discounts on soon-to-expire or expired products, we’ve set our sights closer to home. Our dispensaries are leading an effort to stock local cannabis, and as a result, our customers have privileged access to the freshest products available. We love when customers ask about the freshest products we have on the shelves, because we can steer them toward Aptos cannabis that’s grown minutes away.

4. The range of price points means there’s something for everyone.

We curate products and pricing at our Aptos dispensary to meet the needs of our clientele, and that means providing a variety of both budget-friendly and high-end options. Our goal is to serve people of all income brackets, and we work closely with local and regional growers to curate a selection of the best cannabis we can find, at the best prices. 

If you’re looking for low cost cannabis, then you’re in the right place at Santa Cruz Naturals — and when you visit, remember to ask about our specials and weekly cannabis deals. Some of which include: 

  • “Vape Mondays” and “Flower Fridays”

  • Refer-a-friend and receive 20% off plus, your friend gets $10 off!
