As cannabis continues to evolve, so do the expectations of consumers. Further, as stoner stereotypes fall out of fashion, the design of a dispensary, as well as its branding and the experience it offers, aim to appeal to a sophisticated clientele. 

Competition between dispensaries has never been fiercer, as many up the ante by providing a remarkable and lasting experience, all in the hope of solidifying their reputation, as well as the product they provide. This has resulted in some of the most beautiful dispensaries in the world.
