Purchasing cannabis has evolved drastically over the years. As more states become legal and offer recreational cannabis, the popularity and embrace of the marijuana movement is now gaining traction as being a product that is treated with respect and grace. Yes it is recreational and fun but, it can also provide true relief and benefits for those who need it.
Cannabis is no longer just that street corner drug where it’s you get what you get. Even though it never should have been, it’s now a full-on curated experience and no one is doing it better on California’s Central Coast than Megan’s Organic Market Dispensary in San Luis Obispo.
A Unique Cannabis Experience
Megan’s Organic Market is the first dispensary to have put up a storefront in San Luis Obispo. What makes Megan’s Market so unique is their open floor plan and the ability to grab product right off the shelves or out of the fridge and stick it in your basket.
Open seven days a week from 7am to 9pm, there are still budtenders to assist you should you have any questions. Usually, customers have to wait in line and all the product is out of reach, but not at Megan’s. This experience was something co-owner Megan Souza was very adamant about as she and her business partner Eric Powers hope to join the movement of normalizing cannabis.
“It was a struggle to convince [the San Luis Obispo Police Department] and even my own business partner that this is the right model to pursue. But I feel like we are destigmatizing cannabis a lot with just this one feature, and we’re destigmatizing by our wholesome aesthetic and our commitment to community benefit.”

Megan, Eric, and their employees believe cannabis is wholesome. It’s a big task to try and change society’s muddled view on cannabis, it’s users and industry operators. With more transparency plus budtenders who want to help educate and guide their customers, we all can continue to grow this industry in the right direction.
