What to bring

All cannabis dispensaries require a valid government issued photo ID, and a form of payment that is NOT credit. Although cash is preferred here at Flowerz, we do accept debit cards that are validated by a PIN. We also have an ATM on site if you're in a pinch

Which IDs we accept

State driver's license, state ID card, passport or tribal ID. Photos or digital copies are not accepted — bring the physical document

What happens at the door

We check ID every time, even if we know you. After that you can browse on your own, ask a budtender, or pick up an order you placed online

How to pay

Cash or a debit card validated by a PIN. Large bills are fine and there is an ATM in store. Nothing is charged online — you pay at the counter when you pick up

Tax

Prices on the shelf and on this site do not include tax. Applicable state cannabis taxes will be added at purchase

How much you can buy in a day

Minnesota sets daily purchase limits for adults 21+. Our staff confirms your limit at the counter before you check out

Ordering online and picking up

You can place a pickup order any time, including when the store is closed — those orders are prepared during the next business hours. We email you and update your account when the order is ready, and we hold prepared orders until closing the same day

Parking

Free parking available in the shared lot next to Scott's Wine and Spirits, at St. Clair Ave and Pascal St S

What to ask a budtender

Say what you want to feel and how you like to take it. That is enough — the rest is our job
