In today’s evolving cannabis marketplace, age verification isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it’s a cornerstone of responsible business practices. At responsible cannabis retailers like Outer Haze, we understand the critical importance of maintaining strict age verification protocols.
Why Age Verification Matters
The cannabis industry faces unique challenges when it comes to age restrictions. Unlike many retail sectors, we must be particularly vigilant about:
• Maintaining compliance with state and local regulations
• Protecting our youth from unauthorized access
• Building trust within our communities
• Preserving industry legitimacy
Our Verification Process
Every customer who enters Outer Haze must complete our thorough verification process:
1. Valid government-issued ID check
2. Physical ID inspection
3. Digital age verification scan
4. Secondary verification for online orders
Industry Best Practices
While the standard age requirement is 21+, proper verification involves more than just checking a number. Staff training, regular protocol updates, and maintaining current verification technology are all essential components of an effective age verification system.
Looking Forward
As the cannabis industry continues to mature, age verification processes will likely become even more sophisticated. We remain committed to exceeding compliance standards while providing a welcoming environment for our legal-age customers.
Remember: Proper age verification isn’t just about following rules—it’s about building a sustainable and responsible cannabis industry for generations to come.
