CANNABIS DISPENSARY EXPERIENCE
The Verdes Foundation is like no other dispensary in New Mexico. From the moment you walk through our doors, Customer Service Representatives welcome you into an environment of understanding, education, and compassion.
We work to get to know you and your needs while striving to provide every person with high quality products. It is our goal to ensure that your cannabis shopping experience is a positive one. If you haven’t been in before, check below for information on how to shop cannabis products at Verdes Cannabis.
If you have a Department of Health issued cannabis card, simply stop by our store to set up an account.
We appreciate our military veterans and provide a veteran discount with proof of veteran status.* Please tell our staff if you are a veteran when registering. It is important that we have a current email address for online purchases and our weekly newsletter. Our newsletter shares current strain release dates, weekly specials and new product releases.
*VA Card, military ID, military designation on drivers license or DD-214
If you do not currently have a medical cannabis card and believe you have a qualifying condition, please discuss the possibility of medical cannabis as an option with your primary care physician. Each person is required to have a written recommendation from a physician and to complete a client application form.
If your physician does not sign medical cannabis applications, there are many physicians that do recognize cannabis as a medical option. We always recommend keeping your physician aware of all the medications you take, including cannabis.
If you do not have a medical cannabis-friendly physician and believe your medical condition qualifies, please visit the New Mexico Department of Health for more information.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SHOP AT A VERDES CANNABIS DISPENSARY?
From the moment you step through the door, the process is geared towards ensuring a comfortable and engaging environment for everyone.
ENTRY AND IDENTIFICATION
The first step in your Verdes Cannabis dispensary visit involves the checking of IDs. This is a standard procedure to confirm that all customers are over the age of 21, as mandated by state laws. Verdes Cannabis requires a state issued form of identification that is not expired or invalid. Have your ID out and ready to hand to the staff member for scanning. Once they have scanned your ID, the staff member will guide you through your experience.
ATMOSPHERE AND STAFF GUIDANCE
Inside, the atmosphere of a dispensary is often compared to that of a boutique rather than a traditional retail shop. We focus on creating a relaxed environment where customers feel at ease to explore at their own pace. Verdes boasts unique relax spaces at some of our locations for you to “stay a while” – sit and scroll on social media or read the newspaper and offers complimentary tea and coffee! Our staff, commonly referred to as ‘budtenders,’ are friendly and knowledgeable. They are well-trained to answer questions, and make you comfortable discussing your needs or curiosity. Whether you are a seasoned cannabis user or a first-timer, our staff are there to guide you, ensuring that you feel supported throughout your visit. We want you to feel comfortable asking any questions you may have, Verdes Cannabis is a Judgement-Free Zone! No questions are silly questions!
PRODUCT RANGE AND SELECTION
Our dispensaries offer a wide variety of cannabis products, including cannabis flower, edibles, tinctures, topicals, concentrates, moonrocks, sunstones, and cannabis accessories. Each product is displayed with detailed descriptions, including potency levels, strain type (indica, sativa, hybrid), and recommended uses. This extensive range allows you to explore new products while also finding the staples you can trust. We also have interactive displays where you can smell our cartridge terpene blends, try on our topical salve (non-infused), and smell/touch our soaking salts! For newcomers, this variety can seem overwhelming, but Verdes staff pride themselves in being skilled in narrowing down choices based on your expressed preferences and desired effects.
EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
A key aspect of the dispensary experience is education. The staff at every Verdes Cannabis location provide valuable insights into the different ways cannabis can be consumed and the effects it can have. Verdes Cannabis dispensaries offer brochures or hold workshops about cannabis use, covering topics from legal issues to health benefits, consumption methods, and community events. This educational approach helps demystify cannabis and promotes its safe, responsible use.
CHECKOUT AND SATISFACTION
As you make your selections, the dispensary ensures transparency in pricing and product information, so there are no surprises at checkout. Our staff will hold onto the products you choose until you reach the checkout counter. The goal is for you to leave feeling confident and satisfied with your purchases. Verdes’ checkout process is streamlined, with cash and card payment options available. (Do you offer “tap to pay”?) There is a state tax added to every cannabis purchase. (Note: Please add any fees or surcharges that Verdes charges, if any)
