Travel Arkansas 420 Edition: West Memphis

This time on travel Arkansas we are going to look at West Memphis. West Memphis , most commonly brings to mind the West Memphis 3 murders. But there is more to experience on your journey than meets the eye. This journey, will start in Memphis and end in Arkansas.

Keep in mind, marijuana products purchased in Arkansas have to remain in Arkansas. It is illegal to cross state lines with medical marijuana products.

Before crossing the bridge into Arkansas exit onto Front Street and find Gus’ World Famous Fried Chicken. Gus’ is a corner stone in true southern cooking. For one day, do not count carbs, call in a to-go order, and grab some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat before heading into Arkansas.

Once you get into West Memphis, Delta and Bam dispensaries are easy to access from the interstate. Delta, located directly on the highway an is easy to access from the exit ramp.

Delta, which has recently started cultivating their own lines of medical marijuana products as well as serving as a dispensary, has a Bass Pro of Marijuana atmosphere. So if camoe and cargo pants are your thing, Delta dispensary will have you feeling right at home. The interior has polished cement floors with display tanks that double as as waiting areas. The tanks have a terrarium design but are generally filled with books, marijuana medicating accessories, and shirts but due to their design I always expect a lizard to walk thru. The large televisions mounted on the wall an earth tones gives the dispensary a sport and hunting vibe.

Delta has an ATM on site in case you forget to get cash.

Once you leave Delta head to BAM dispensary. BAM dispensary is a chain, you can read about BAM’s other stores here.

Bam is easy to over look being located so close to Delta but with less visibility. What makes BAM great is the knowledge and ethics of their bud-tenders an original store gifts. The first time I went to BAM, I received a new patient gift, every-time I go to BAM I blow money on their store gifts and tees. The gift bag, changes, but when I visited included a BAM branded ashtray, lanyard, wax mat, and mini wax container. If it is your first time visiting let the staff know. There is no telling what surprises or specials they have

While BAM currently sells prepacked medical marijuana the workers are more than happy to show you the contents prior to purchasing by flipping the jar so patients may see the contents. Their bud-tenders are also not hesitant to advise if a strain is subpar compared to previous harvest.

BAM also has a patient loyalty program. This program texts patients about new products, availability, and sales!!!

When you leave BAM swing by Krystals in West-Memphis. You will be grateful once you medicate!
