MANISTEE — Meds Cafe, located on Arthur street, had some unexpected beginnings.
Originally from Mississippi, Meds Cafe general manager, Jennifer Bergen, has always had a knack for agriculture.
Starting in the cultivation field, Bergen quickly found herself working in the medical marijuana business.
“I have always been passionate to help people,” stated Bergen.
Meds Cafe opened in May of 2021, strictly as a medical cannabis store.
“We cater to strictly medical purposes,” said Bergen,“The owners have three or four other locations and we are hoping for recreational use for our store, one day. But for now, we will only have medical.” Bergen stated if they are to one day open the store for recreation as well, they will always “cater to the medical community.”
Meds Cafe allows the customer to see the products.
It’s“almost like a deli,” said Bergen, “The customer is allowed to see the product, smell it, and even watch the process as we do it.” That is something not every cannabis store does.
Medical marijuana, such as cannabidiol, known as CBD, and tetrahydrocannabinol, known as THC, are used medicinally to help relieve chronic pain, muscle pain and spasms, nausea due to chemotherapy, and even migraines.
“Fewer people have (medical marijuana) cards now,” said Bergen, “But you can be any age for a card, as long as there is a medical issue.”
Meds Cafe is focused on building relationships with their customers to meet their individual medical needs.
“Medical (marijuana cardholders have) more access to products and for a better price,” said Bergen comparing it to adult-use marijuana.
Meds Cafe also carries a variety of products that tackle pain, in all forms, and the products are not just for smoking. The dispensary carries flowers, vaporizers and edibles.
With a passion for helping people relieve their pain, Bergen believes “knowledge of cannabis” is important. Bergen encourages people who suffer from chronic pain "to get their medical cards.”
