Workplace Scenarios
Scenario 1 — The Customer Crossing State Lines
A first-time customer buys an eighth of flower and tells you she is driving to visit family in the next state, which also has legal cannabis. She asks whether she can take it with her. What do you tell her, and why does the answer matter to your dispensary?

Scenario 2 — The Medical Claim at the Counter
You overhear an experienced budtender tell a medical patient, “This tincture will treat your insomnia.” The patient seems reassured and buys it. What is wrong, and what do you do?

Show sample answers
Scenario 1 — The Customer Crossing State Lines: I would tell her plainly not to take it across the state line. Moving cannabis between states is federal drug trafficking, and that is true even when both states have legal markets, because the product must stay inside the state where it was grown, tested, and sold. I would keep the tone helpful rather than alarming and suggest she buy again at a licensed store when she arrives. This matters to the dispensary because a customer who gets into trouble after leaving our counter, having been told the wrong thing by our staff, becomes exactly the kind of story that damages public trust in the legal market.
Scenario 2 — The Medical Claim at the Counter: The statement is a medical claim, and dispensary staff are not medical professionals. Making a claim that a product treats a named condition breaks the rules of the license in nearly every state. I would not correct the budtender in front of the customer; I would speak to them immediately afterward. The fix is wording: teach the team to say “many of our customers find this helpful for” rather than “this treats.” The first shares experience and the second is a medical claim. I would then run the same wording drill with the whole team, because if one experienced person is saying it, others probably are too.
Scenario 3 — The Surprise Inspection: The inspector is admitted straight away. Unannounced inspections are a normal part of cannabis regulation, and the store is expected to be ready on any ordinary business day, not only on days we expect company. I would greet the inspector myself, give access to any part of the licensed premises they ask to see, produce records when asked, and answer questions honestly. I would not coach staff on what to say or move anything. Afterwards I would use whatever the inspector raised as a list to work through, and I would treat the assistant manager question as a training gap to close with the whole team.
