What might coffeeshops look like in France?

If one day the cannabis legalized in France, the most favorable option would be to distribute it in establishments resembling Dutch coffeeshops, but under state control. Since we've still got a few years before that happens, if ever, here's what cannabis dispensaries might look like in France.

Vaporizers of all shapes and sizes will be on offer

The vaporization is a cheaper, healthier alternative to a joint or blunt. Consumers will be able to choose from a variety of discreet, intelligent models that can, for example, adapt to patients' medical prescriptions.

There will be as many women as men inside

On this one, we're inspired by what's happening in the United States. Women have a strong presence in the cannabis industry, There are 36% female managers in cannabis companies, compared with an average of 22% in American companies. We therefore hope that this trend crosses the Atlantic and tends towards parity, so dear to our country.

Dispensaries will offer a choice of brands just like any other store

Snoop Dogg has created its own brand, Leafs, Willie Nelson is underway, and some small producers are already marketing their cannabis. As consumers become more aware of product traceability, In addition, dispensaries will have to clearly identify producers, rather than putting their name on other people's products. This will also enable customers to have a choice, according to their desires, tastes or prescriptions.

Products will be visible

I don't know if you've ever been to a coffeeshop in Amsterdam, But you can't see what you're going to order until the sales assistant shows it to you. The dispensary of the future will clearly show the varieties and products in stock. In fact, a number of companies are already involved in «high-end» dispensary furniture.

Dispensaries will offer courses

Dispensaries will not only dispense their products, but also to educate people and familiarize patients with cannabis use. Courses could cover products, their consumption or cooking with cannabis. And building customer loyalty

Technology integrated into the customer experience

The industry will be integrated into the customer experience in dispensaries. Tablets, for example, will provide information on the different varieties on offer, with details on potency, taste and origin. As will cannabis home delivery companies such as Eaze, dispensaries will release their own app to communicate with their customers and receive orders directly, before delivering them to the store or home.

There may be no physical dispensary

Let's imagine a lot. Dispensaries could be like Amazon, with no physical presence. And delivering cannabis by drone. Who knows?
