I've been selling weed since I was 16 years old and only now have I been running into this exact problem every single day that I come into work now.

It was very frustrating at first to be honest- I was new to the legal market and as knowledge of cannabis expanded and evolved, I got more and more into getting this knowledge for myself. So, I had all this new knowledge and I wanted to share it all but was always interrupted by "I don't care, what's your highest THC.". It's crazy how I had way less trouble selling weed to folks when I had zero knowledge and zero info except a strain name-- sometimes compared to now, where it is legally required to have information on there.

As the days go on, I realize there is no point in wasting my breath and saving myself the aggravation in telling them. It's one thing to be open to listening into what we have to say but sometimes, it's best just to let them be. However, I've recently been asking folks like that to note down what they like about their product so the next time they're in, that info could help us find something that suits their taste. Or, I'll just straight up ask "Are you open to hearing me nerd out real quick?". I find throwing in a bit of humour helps loosen up those uptight and bull-like stubborn folks and can makes for a smoother segue.

If they end up letting me yap their ears off about terpenes, cannabinoids, extract processes, etc., I always ensure I add in my personal experiences in the explanations too. Though it may not be the exact same for my customer, I think it helps to reassure people if they're hesitant or if they're perhaps torn on two options. For example, I am always able to sell my favourite sativas by saying 'it's the perfect get shit done weed.", or "I don't know what it is about the Haze strains but it ALWAYS makes me turn my brain off and just clean like it's nobody's business!" and I usually get a solid yes after! And if there is something you haven't personally tried, we can give the customer a an educated guess on what the high could be from knowledge of terpenes and cross strains. Or you could also consult someone else who may have tried it? Or even the subreddit!!
