How did they rate? It was five days after 4/20 in 1898 (not that 420 was a thing back in 1898) and the USS Maine was making safe harbor in Havana Cuba when an explosion rocked the ship. Quick to lay blame on the Spanish and entwine ourselves into its imperialistic war against Cuba, The […]
How did they rate? On a mile long piece of South Broadway in Denver, there exists what has been dubbed the “Green Mile”. This isn’t an ode to any works of fiction (no matter how moving). The name stems from the fact that there are more than a dozen dispensaries in just that area. Some […]
How did they rate? How many times have you heard this? “I loved that visit to the gas station. They had this amazing soda, delicious edibles, beautiful display shelves, a really chill environment, and some super cute checkout girls!” Probably never, would be my wager. Now if we’re talking about dispensaries and you swap out […]
How did they rate? Ask someone in the industry what marijuana has done for them and those around them. You’re going to find that a lot of people have been very touched by this little plant. I’m not talking “listening to Dazed and Confused on repeat” touched, I’m talking about being touched on a deeper […]
How did they rate? Nestled into the Highlands neighborhood on 38th Avenue, The Joint is a cozy little dispensary. The Joint has an excellent location, conveniently placed across the street from Sprouts, a hip grocery store, and Highlands Wine & Liquor. With all three of these places within a block of each other, you can […]
How did they rate? It has to be intimidating, running a marijuana dispensary almost literally in the shadow of the Denver Broncos’ Sports Authority Field at Mile High. With the team’s ability to be so damn good lately, the foot traffic in that area of Federal Boulevard has probably made local businesses feel like they’re running […]
The Herbal Cure opened up their recreational side about one year ago after becoming a staple of Denver’s Wash Park with their medical marijuana sales over the last four years. Their location on South Logan Street is about a mile away from the University of Denver campus, which means that much of their traffic seemed […]
How did they rate? Suffice it to say, there is a good chance that many of you out there reading this have purchased marijuana illegally in the past (I won’t tell). I also will take it as being rote that in many cases it wasn’t the most pleasant shopping experience out there. Whether you just […]
How did they rate? There’s a lot to be said about a name, especially when it’s the name of your business. It’s the first thing your customers see when they are perusing your wares online or driving by your storefront on the street. It’s your first line of marketing that will stand the test of […]
How did they rate? Everyone likes new; whether it’s a new car, new shoes, or a new phone, new is usually good. There’s a lot of potential in new, as well as a hint of danger. What if that new car is a lemon, what if those new shoes rub wrong, and what if that […]
How did they rate? Let it show for the records that the inclusion of Marijuana based industries has not only bolstered Colorado’s economy, but has also reshaped entire cities, and burgeoned economies in small areas of the state that never saw any growth like this before. Up North in Garden City, an eerie repeat if […]
How did they rate? Having visited my fair share of Colorado dispensaries, I’ve seen things that would curl your toes; likewise, I’ve seen things that would make you grin from ear to ear. Some dispensaries are loaded with budtenders who are too stoned to give me the time of day, while others hire budtenders who […]
Denver’s Green Mile Broadway Boulevard The legalization of recreational marijuana has created quite the stir here in Colorado. No place has witnessed this noticeable “stir” more than on Broadway Boulevard’s, aptly named, Green Mile. Denver’s Green Mile is the stretch of Broadway running South of I-25 down to Yale Avenue, where Denver ends and turns […]
How did they rate? As the possible benefits of medicinal marijuana gain attention, and as the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials are slowly starting to disappear in the light of their apparent impotence, I admit that I’ve seen first-hand the medicinal properties of this stellar plant. One of the first people I met […]
How did they rate? As a native of Colorado myself, I must admit I have a great love for my home state. Having traveled my fair share of dispensaries, I can’t deny the unspoken comradery that seems to exist within the industry. It might be due to the fact that the industry is still fledgling […]
