What is a budtender? A budtender is the title given to staff of dispensaries where medical or recreational cannabis is sold. They are the smiling faces behind the counters of dispensaries all across Illinois. They are the front line workers, the direct connection between the cannabis and the customer.
High-minded Events knows how important Budtenders are. In fact, we are proud to have so many experienced budtenders on our team. HME has partnered with Seed Talent to put together a Budtender’s Choice Awards here in Illinois, a night of recognition and appreciation in the cannabis industry! Highlighting the input of industry workers on current cannabis products. Without further ado, here are the nominees.
