# A Day in the Life at Cultivate – Spring Mountain

Ever wonder what it’s like to work at a cannabis dispensary? As a budtender at Cultivate’s Spring Mountain location, I’m often asked what my typical day looks like. So I thought I’d take you through a behind-the-scenes journey of what happens during a shift at one of Las Vegas’s premier recreational dispensaries.

## 6:30 AM: Rise and Shine

My alarm goes off early. Working in a fast-paced environment means I need to be fully alert and energized. I start with a quick workout and a nutritious breakfast to fuel my day.

## 8:00 AM: Pre-Opening Procedures

I arrive at the dispensary about an hour before we open to the public. The first thing we do is a morning meeting where our team discusses:

– Today’s special promotions
– New products that have arrived
– Educational points to share with customers
– Any compliance updates or reminders

## 8:30 AM: Inventory Check

Next comes one of the most important parts of our day: inventory management. Cannabis products require meticulous tracking, so we verify that all products are accounted for and properly displayed. We ensure every item is labeled correctly and that our digital inventory system matches our physical stock.

## 9:00 AM: Doors Open

As we open our doors, I take my position at the dispensary floor. Working at Cultivate means being ready to help customers with varying levels of cannabis knowledge – from first-time users to experienced consumers.

## 10:30 AM: Educational Guidance

Mid-morning typically brings in customers seeking specific relief or experiences. A gentleman comes in looking for something to help with sleep issues. I take time to discuss:

– Different cannabinoid profiles
– Terpene effects
– Consumption methods
– Dosage recommendations

This consultative approach is what sets us apart in North Las Vegas and the surrounding areas.

## 12:00 PM: Lunch Break

Time for a quick break! I use this time to recharge, sometimes catching up on industry news or learning about new cannabis research.

## 1:00 PM: Afternoon Rush

The afternoon shift is typically our busiest. Tourists from Paradise and Spring Valley areas mix with local regulars. Each interaction is unique:

1. Explaining different strains to a curious tourist
2. Helping a medical patient find their preferred product
3. Answering questions about consumption laws in Nevada
4. Recommending products based on desired effects

## 3:00 PM: Inventory Replenishment

During a slower moment, I restock displays and ensure everything remains organized. Cannabis products need to be stored properly to maintain freshness and potency.

## 4:30 PM: Community Connection

One of my favorite aspects of working at Cultivate is the community we’ve built. A regular customer stops by not just to purchase but to share how a product we recommended has helped with their chronic pain. These moments remind me why I love this industry.

## 6:00 PM: Educational Development

Before closing, I spend time learning about new products. Our management team encourages ongoing education, so we often have internal training sessions about:

– New cannabis strains
– Emerging consumption technologies
– Medical applications
– Compliance updates

## 7:00 PM: Closing Procedures

As we prepare to close, we conduct another inventory check, clean our stations, and prepare the store for tomorrow. Everything must be secured according to strict protocols.

## 8:00 PM: Team Debrief

Before heading home, our team discusses the day – what went well, what we could improve, and any notable customer interactions. This collaborative approach helps us continually enhance the experience for visitors to our Spring Mountain location.

Working at a cannabis dispensary isn’t just about sales – it’s about education, wellness advocacy, and being part of a rapidly evolving industry. Every day brings new faces and challenges, making each shift at Cultivate a unique experience.

If you’re in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Paradise, or even as far as Corn Creek, I hope you’ll stop by our dispensary to experience the Cultivate difference for yourself!
