How to Become a Budtender: Complete Career Guide & Salary Information

What Is a Budtender? Role Definition & Overview

A budtender is a specialized cannabis retail professional who educates customers about marijuana products, provides personalized recommendations, and processes compliant sales transactions in licensed dispensaries. Think of a budtender as a cannabis sommelier—combining deep product knowledge with exceptional customer service in the rapidly growing legal cannabis industry. It's worth noting that, there is a category of specialization called a Ganjier that is more akin to cannabis sommelier than a traditional budtender.
