Ever bought edibles from a local smoke shop? Yikes. Smoke shops and dispensaries aren't the same thing. Dispensaries are a one-stop shop for cannabis products, and you can only find them in states where weed is legal recreationally. They're highly regulated and products are required to have 3rd-party lab testing to ensure your products are safe to consume.

TLDR; never buy cannabis from a smoke shop, it may be contaminated or have mold. We recommend buying organic-certified cannabis from a legal dispensary!

Unfortunately, in some states, it's hard to distinguish between both so it's important to research or ask folks where to find credible shops or dispensaries. In NY - dispensaries are required to have a badge near their storefront.

It's exciting to see more and more states legalize, but this comes with the risk of more grey market stores popping up! When in doubt, request a certificate of analysis to analyze for suspicious ingredients. Without these results, there is no way of knowing what you are getting.

At Reform Botanicals, we test for both purity and strength so that you can feel confident that you know exactly what you are purchasing. You can view our lab results here!
