Budtender Panel: What’s Happening at the Counter in Ohio

Budtenders sit at the intersection of product, compliance, and customer experience. This session brings together experienced Ohio budtenders to share what they are seeing in real time — from customer behavior and product questions to how recommendations are actually made on the floor. This is a ground-level view of how retail is playing out day to day.

Attendees will take away: what Ohio customers are asking for right now; how budtenders guide product recommendations in practice; where confusion shows up most often at the counter; and how retail experience influences purchasing decisions.
