“Cannabis is not some alien plant, it grows like a pepper,” said Haynie.
Spotsylvania store manager Beydoun said many customers are interested in is growing marijuana plants indoors, because they can better control the growing environment.
He said that’s why tents with grow lights and temperature controls are popular. Those types of systems can help avoid insects, diseases and unpredictable weather.
The recent shift in legal status means that some customers have no trouble being direct about what they want, but others are hesitant and speak quietly.
“I’ve had customers who wanted to go to the back of the store behind a shelf to ask questions for some privacy,” he said. “We do whatever makes the customer feel comfortable.”
