Gaia's Plant-Based Medicine

Gaia Plant­Based Medicine is in a decent East Colfax location, with a sidewalk storefront situated between a salon and one of the best low­-key lunch spots in Denver, La Guarida Cubana. Prepare to be buzzed back through the steel­-plated wall and security door for the patient lounge. It's a clean, cozy place that feels more like a tossed­-together twenty-­something's pad (or a Nederland coffee shop) than a themed, corporate dispensary. The bud bar takes up the entire space next door to the lobby; it runs along the back wall as you walk in and is crammed with edibles, pipes, hash and pot. When we were in last, Gaia was undergoing an overhaul in its grow room, and the buds on display have likely changed since then. Read our full dispensary review of Gaia's Plant-Based Medicine.
