Dispensary

A dispensary is a special kind of store where grown-ups can go to buy something called "medicine" that is made from a special plant called "cannabis." Cannabis is often used to help grown-ups with things like pain, anxiety, and other health problems. But, just like how you can't eat candy all the time, only grown-ups who have special permission from a doctor are allowed to buy medicine from a dispensary. They also have special rules like not being able to take their medicine to certain places, just like there are rules about not running in certain places. The people who work at dispensaries are like nurses and doctors - they know a lot about medicine and they want to help grown-ups feel better.
