Laws, Rights, and Treaties Refer to Training Manual Given the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to which Canada is a signatory, giving full endorsement in May of 2016, we are confident that we are well within the international legal framework to sell traditional medicine even if it presently falls in contravention of the laws of Canada.

Product Information Extracts Extracts are the plant matter that has been subjected to a process of either chemical solvency or heat and pressure to separate the active compounds from the plant fibres. This results in a highly concentrated, very potent product. Includes: Shatter and Rosin

Oils Oils are highly potent extracts of cannabis compounds. When ingested, they produce a slow-acting but long lasting effect. As with all edibles, patients must be careful dosing as the effects are not felt immediately. Time should be taken between doses to ensure the desired effect is reached and not exceeded.

Customer Service Professionals Customer Service = Accountability + Delivery The Fundamentals Friendliness Empathy, patience, and consistency Knowledge Communication Work Ethic

Customer Interactions Our goal at Medicine Wheel is to be warm, friendly, and engaging to everyone who comes through our doors. How to deal with an upset customer: Stay calm Listen Sympathize Apologize Find a solution

Our Positions Greeting: We will have a greeter and security person who will greet each customer as they enter. This will both let the customer know that we are aware they are in the store and we are here to help them, and it will also let the customer know that our security is aware of their presence in the store.

Consultation: Each new customer must first become a client. They will do this at the consultation desk. Here we will ask a variety of questions regarding their medical needs, history, and health outcome goals. Existing clients may also come to the consultation desk if they wish to ask specific medical questions, make changes to their file, or give feedback on products they have used.

Budtender: Although it is our aim that all of our staff will come to be certified as budtenders, the budtender has a specific role in our customer interactions. Once they have registered as a client and been consulted on what products we have that may suit their needs, the customer will see one of our budtenders. Our budtenders will have extensive product knowledge and will assist customers in finding the medicine and means of delivery that is right for them.

Cash: Once the client has chosen their desired product(s), the final step in our transaction is conducted at the cash desk. The budtender will hand the selected products to the cashier who will then ring in the purchase and accept payment.

We are here to serve the needs of our clients. They come first, and it is our duty to make sure that every customer leaves with a desire to return. We want them to be comfortable at Medicine Wheel, and if there is anything we can do to make their time with us more enjoyable, they are encouraged to make suggestions or ask for assistance.
