FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does this place accept credit cards?

Yes! We accept all major credit cards including Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express as well as debit cards.

Can I purchase Cannabis Anonymously? Do I need I.D.

In 2018, state laws will limit the quantity of cannabis a person can buy per day. Because of this, Alternatives is required to scan your ID card. Your personal information will NOT be stored ANYWHERE. Alternatives takes privacy very seriously.

Do I need a Doctor’s Recommendation to buy Cannabis?

No. You do not need a doctor’s recommendation to shop at our recreational cannabis dispensary. You only need a government-issued identification card showing that you are 21 years old or over. Medical patients between 18-20 need a doctor’s recommendation.

Is it free to sign up with Alternatives?

Absolutely!

Where can I buy starter plants in Santa rosa.

We have clones at our Alternatives East location, 2300 Bethards Dr., Santa Rosa.

Am I allowed to consume Cannabis in public?

No. Most public spaces prohibit smoking or vaping cannabis products. This includes Alternatives’ parking lot.

How much Cannabis am I allowed to gift someone?

You can gift one ounce of non-concentrated cannabis (flower) and eight grams of concentrated cannabis at one time.

Do I need a cannabis card to buy marijuana at this location?

No, but the card cancels out some of the tax

Will new taxes lead to higher prices?

We make every effort to be as affordable as possible for Sonoma County. Government entities dictate the tax rates on cannabis. With the legalization of adult-use cannabis, the city and the state will increase taxes on cannabis sales at all California dispensaries and delivery services. The specific tax increases depends on your city. These tax increases started January 1, 2018.

If you would like to learn more about California Adult-Use Cannabis taxes, please visit California Department of Tax and Fee Administration website

When did the new laws go into effect?

California adult-use sales started on January 1, 2018 for all recreational cannabis dispensary users.

I have questions about cannabis products and which one's work best for me. Can you help?

If you have any questions about marijuana, please do not hesitate to ask! Interacting with our customers is one of our favorite things! Our Cannabis Specialists will be happy to answer any cannabis-related questions you may have.

Where can I research the medical effects of cannabis?

You can view information on cannabis use and effects on NORML.org and Americans For Safe Access.

Can I use my passport if I don’t have State id

You sure can. Your passport is government-issued and works as a valid form of ID.

Does this shop carry flower with under 1% THC and a high CBD content?

Please check the Menu, We have one of the best selections of high CBD products in Sonoma County and the selection changes all the time. But we specialize in non-psychoactive cannabis (CBD-based) so you’ll no doubt find something wonderful and helpful to try.

I'm New to cannabis, but I don't like to smoke and want to try edibles. What should I do first?

or first-time cannabis users, and for customers with a lower tolerance for cannabis containing THC, we recommend all customers go “low and slow.” While the effects of cannabis as a medicine are well-documented in over 3,000 jury peer-reviewed published studies, everybody is different. Many physicians recommend that their patients titrate their cannabis use, starting with a very low dose and increasing the dose and frequency as needed.

Great aura, great prices, and even better people!” – Rufus Bidad, Google
