Ascent Dispensary

As part of our ongoing series, we are interviewing people of interest in the area who are making an impact on our community.

This time, we reached out to Ascent Dispensary in Bishop!

Can you tell us a little bit about Ascent and your overall mission?

At Ascent Bishop, our mission is to provide outstanding customer service and product knowledge in the realm of cannabis. Whether our customers are seeking recreational enjoyment or using cannabis for treatment purposes, we strive to offer the deepest understanding of all the products we carry. One of our main goals is to dispel misinformation about cannabis, as there are many misconceptions about its use beyond just getting stoned.

What are the differences between Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains?

When it comes to the differences between Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains, it’s important to note that each type of strain can offer unique effects. Sativa strains are often associated with uplifting and energizing effects, while Indica strains are known for their relaxing and sedative qualities. Hybrid strains combine elements of both Sativa and Indica, offering a blend of effects.

Can you recommend a strain for specific use, like relaxation, pain relief, or focus?

If you’re looking for a strain recommendation based on specific needs like relaxation, pain relief, or focus, we’ve got you covered, with 67 flower strains, 43 concentrate strains, and 86 vape cart strains in-house, we can definitely help match you with the perfect option for the effect you desire.

What types of edibles do you offer, and how do their effects differ?

In terms of edibles, we offer a variety of products with different effects. Edibles can provide a longer-lasting and potentially more intense experience compared to smoking or vaping cannabis. Our staff can help explain the differences in effects between various types of edibles to help you make an informed choice.

Do you offer any discounts or loyalty programs? 

At Ascent Bishop, we offer both discounts and loyalty programs to show our appreciation for our customers.  We have a Local, Tribal, Vet/Active duty Military,  & Senior Discount as well A Loyalty Program – every dollar you spend in house goes to loyalty points for discounted pricing on all products.

Are there any new or popular products you would suggest trying? 

If you’re looking to try something new or popular, our staff can suggest products that have been receiving positive feedback from our customers. Whether it’s a new strain, edible, or other cannabis product, we can help you explore different options.

What is your location and business hours? 

Ascent Bishop is conveniently located Downtown at 174 N. Main st. With plenty of parking in Whitney Alley, we are open from 8 AM to 8 PM seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our commitment to providing exceptional service and knowledge sets us apart in the cannabis industry.
