Can I smell or see cannabis products before buying them?

Yes! At The Library and most NJ dispensaries, you can smell flower products before purchasing.

What You CAN Do: - Smell sample jars of different strains - Ask budtenders to open smell jars - View products in display cases - See THC/CBD percentages on labels - Look at photos on digital displays

What You CANNOT Do: - Touch or handle actual products (health regulations) - Open sealed packages - Take product samples home to try

Why Smelling Matters: The smell (terpene profile) actually indicates how a strain might affect you: - Citrus/lemon scents: Often uplifting, energizing - Pine/earthy scents: Often relaxing, grounding - Sweet/berry scents: Often balanced effects - Skunky/pungent: Often potent, strong effects

Pro Tip: If a strain smells good to you, you'll likely enjoy its effects. Your nose knows! Ask the budtender to let you smell 2-3 options before deciding.

Digital Displays: Many dispensaries also have screens showing close-up photos of flower so you can see the quality, color, and trichome coverage before buying.
