Seven Product Categories, One Floor
Cottonmouth Dispensary stocks seven product categories that look nothing alike when you first walk in. Flower in jars, gummies in bags, cartridges in boxes, tinctures in dropper bottles, creams in tubes. They are all cannabis, but they work differently, hit differently, and last differently.
This guide covers every product category available at Cottonmouth Dispensary. For each one, you will learn what it is, how it works, who it is best for, and what to consider before buying. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned consumer looking to try something new, this page will help you make an informed decision.
If you are completely new to cannabis, start with our Beginner's Guide first, then come back here to explore product types in detail.
