Starbuds in Maryland

Star Buds is a dispensary brand with stores in eight states on this directory: Montana, Colorado, Mississippi, Illinois, Oklahoma, New York, Maryland and Michigan. It presents itself as a neighborhood dispensary, with a menu of flower, concentrates, edibles and topicals aimed at everyone from occasional to daily consumers, and blog articles explaining cannabinoids, storage and why edibles take time to kick in. Illinois stores cluster in Chicago's western and southwestern suburbs, including Burbank, Summit, Riverside, Westmont and Hoffman Estates, and there is a Baltimore store in Maryland.

Colorado stores run on a separate website and belong to a family of sister dispensaries that share one loyalty program with Green Dragon and LivWell. They weigh flower at the counter, and at some locations flower is sold in price tiers running from premium grades down to shake, so it is worth asking what each tier contains before buying larger amounts. Colorado shoppers can browse the menu online and get suggestions from an automated recommendation tool.
