I overheard a budtender say that at my local dispensary too lol. Must be a marketing incentive.

"budtender" is that what we call weed dealers now?

I've kind of understood "dealer" to be someone who sells illegal drugs, and "budtender" to be someone who works the counter at a legal dispensary. I dunno for sure, I don't actually encounter these concepts often.

It does seem kind of silly, I mean we already have words that describe people who work in stores. On the other hand, it's specific and easily understood from the first hearing.

oh my god! it's a real word. I thought it was a typo. I have never heard of it before, since Marijuana is not legal where I live. I learned something. Thanks.

A dealer is Packer and a budtender is Dwight.
