Confessions of a Budtender
Ever wonder what it's like to be a budtender? Well, we have a few budtenders who are willing to tell you about it. This is a satire, but truthful series. We wanted to look at this brand new industry from an honest point of view, but through the lens of fear generated by propaganda.
We hope you enjoy the series.
We are dedicated to the normalizing of cannabis nationwide and will continue producing unpaid content that is supported through, Youtube, Patreon and through donations from our followers. You can find the links below.

“Decarbonazation” or whatever he said. I’m dead. 🤣
Yeah, we didn't notice until we posted it. We leave it as a reminder to not do that again. lol
Lol. I didn’t mean it in a mean way. You said the series would be satirical, and I took it as satire.
I’m in Oregon, and the name of wherever he is was edited out, but I’m pretty sure he said “Oregon” too, and everyone here knows not to go into shops expecting legit medical advice from budtenders.
They don’t necessarily know the medicinal benefits of thousands of different strains, and basically all anyone can do with cannabis is recommend their personal favorites, which may or may not do anything for the person receiving the information.
Their job is to help get college kids lit. And questions around that, they’re fairly good at answering.
But we all know that most of the stores here have budtenders that are being told to push whatever strains upper management is telling them to hock(whatever there’s too much of,) to anyone who doesn’t at least know the basics(that a sativa isn’t ideal for insomnia for example.)
So this is unfortunately a not uncommon experience for me. A budtender using improper terminology that knows less than I do.
But it also kind of “satirically” makes budtenders look stupid. Which I also don’t think they are. I think that they’re just trying to do their retail job, and routinely get bombarded with questions that are both above their pay grade and easily answerable by Google.
If one has a problem with the status quo here, they should get a medical card and shop at the 1 out of 60+ retail cannabis outlets that is medical only.
