The United States of America is home to some of the most modern and eye-catching cannabis dispensaries, but they aren’t the only ones with hidden treasures. Gone are those non-descriptive weed dispensaries, as swanky high-end establishments replace them. The legal marijuana business is among the fastest-growing industries within the United States and perhaps the world.

Those involved in the cannabis space who own a recreational dispensary are hiring designers and architects to spice things up. These businesses specialize in building and designing modern grow rooms and dispensaries. A well-designed recreational dispensary can display a brand to the best ideal while taking the consumer experience to a higher level by intriguing the senses.

No longer do dispensaries have blackened out windows, and tee shirts hung on the wall while your senses take in the reminiscent odour of patchouli oil. Those old school dispensaries are being replaced with big, well-lit, high-end shops. Let's check some of those out!
