The cannabis industry has boomed over the last several years, with new dispensaries opening on what seems like every other block. While this is great news for cannabis users, not every dispensary offers the same customer experience. For customers to ensure that they are receiving the best quality products and service, it’s essential to research the dispensaries in your area so you can make more informed purchasing decisions.
If you’re in Studio City, California, one of the best places to find cannabis is also one of the longest-running dispensaries in California: WHTC LA.
At WHTC LA, we’re a family-owned cannabis dispensary located conveniently off the Hollywood Freeway, about two miles east of CBS Studio Center. We first opened in 2007 after our founder discovered the medical benefits of cannabis firsthand when her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Since we opened, our dispensary has dedicated itself to advocating for safe access to cannabis, while working to end the stigmas that plague the cannabis community.
Our motto is “Here to Help, Here to Heal.” We reinforce these values by putting craft and quality first, always.
Understanding Which Strain Is Right For You
If you’re brand-new to the cannabis world, you’re likely unfamiliar with the words Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. These are general terms used to describe different strains or subspecies of cannabis. To properly select the best strains for you, it’s essential to understand how these terms are used in cannabis dispensaries.
Simply, a “strain” refers to a genetic variation, or variety of the cannabis plant that’s crafted through breeding. The various compounds present in the particular variety determines whether it’s uplifting, for example, or best used as a sleep aid. Additionally, these designations are often used to describe specific flavor profiles, aromas, and effects. At WHTC LA, we pride ourselves on only selling what we’ve tried and approved of ourselves, and we are very selective about where we source our cannabis.
At WHTC LA, our in-house brands are Electree and Terraform Genetics.
Because we’ve curated these brands ourselves, we’re confident that they offer high-quality strains that we can stand behind.
Visit our online store, and you’ll notice that we’ve designed our site so our visitors can see a complete view showing which strain the product is derived from, as well as the kinds of effects you can expect. While some of our strains have been designed to make you calm, or uplifted, others are crafted to act as sleep aids.
When considering which strain is right for you, if you’re unsure or have questions, think of our budtenders as guides. Our trained, friendly and knowledgeable staff will ensure that you know exactly what you’re getting before you make a purchase.
Of course, it’s important to note that not everyone reacts the same way to every strain, or cannabis product. In fact, it might take a few attempts to find exactly what you need. We recommend keeping a journal so you can record which products worked best for your needs.
