At Authentic 231 in Manistee, we do things a little differently. That includes how we present our cannabis flower. While many dispensaries stick to pre-packaged eighths behind glass, we proudly offer a deli-style cannabis experience—and once you try it, you’ll see (and smell) why it matters.
What Is Deli-Style Cannabis?
Deli-style cannabis means we display our buds in glass jars at the counter, and weigh out your flower fresh at the time of purchase. It’s a throwback to the old-school days of cannabis, but done professionally, legally, and with precision.
Instead of picking up a sealed container and hoping for the best, you’ll be able to:
-
Visually inspect the flower before buying
-
Smell the terpene profile (which heavily influences effects)
-
Talk directly to your budtender about your preferences
-
Buy the exact amount you want, including custom weights
When you walk into Authentic 231, you’re not just buying weed—you’re getting an authentic cannabis experience rooted in transparency, trust, and quality.
Why We Believe Deli-Style Flower Is Better
There are lots of reasons to choose deli-style cannabis in Michigan, especially when shopping local:
✅ You Know What You’re Getting
No surprises. You can see the buds, the trichomes, the trim job—everything. This is especially important for seasoned consumers who care about bud structure, moisture, and potency.
✅ You Can Smell the Terps
Let’s face it—terpenes matter more than THC when it comes to how weed makes you feel. Deli-style lets you smell before you buy, giving you a better idea of whether that “gassy” strain or “citrus-heavy sativa” is really what you’re after.
✅ It’s Local and Fresh
We source directly from Heritage Farms, right here in Manistee County. Our deli jars are stocked with fresh, locally grown cannabis from brands like Caddy and Faktor. No months-old, bone-dry flower here.
✅ It Builds Trust
We want you to feel confident in what you’re buying. Our budtenders will walk you through the selection, explain the strain’s effects, and weigh it up fresh, right in front of you. It’s a hands-on, education-first approach that’s rare in today’s dispensary scene.
Common Questions About Deli-Style Cannabis
Is it sanitary?
Absolutely. We follow strict protocols for cleanliness, wear gloves, and keep our flower in sealed, humidity-controlled jars between transactions.
Can I still do curbside or pre-orders?
Yes—just let us know you want a deli flower and we’ll select the freshest batch for your order.
How do I know the weight is accurate?
We use state-compliant, certified scales that ensure your product is measured perfectly every time.
