My experiences at chain dispensaries over the past few months have me worried about the quality of cannabis in Colorado. Yes, you can legally buy an ounce on almost any block in the city — but if that store has several other locations, that ounce may not be top-notch. I’d…
Dear Stoner: Some of the dispensaries I go to make me use a locked bag so it’s “childproof” when I leave, but others just let me walk out with a paper bag full of pot. What gives? Kenny Dear Kenny: Ever notice a pattern in the packaging your buds come…
Euflora opened its first location on the 16th Street Mall, which made it a hot spot for tourists, but not local potheads, who complained about the hot prices. Euflora now has two stores open in Aurora, and both see a steady stream of traffic. Curious to see if these suburban…
Dear Stoner: I’ve had a vaporizer for almost a year now and have a buttload of golden-brown vaped weed saved up. Is there anything I can do with it, or have I been wasting my energy? Nicholas Dear Nicholas: If your vaporizer isn’t turning your flower black, it might eventually…
With a thirty-day guarantee on its clones and thirty-plus to choose from, La Conte’s Clone Bar and Dispensary on Washington Street has become a go-to for some basement growers. Its younger sister at 105 East Seventh Avenue, which started out as a medical dispensary, hasn’t gained the same notoriety —…
Dear Stoner: Do you have any good infused-product recipes that require smaller amounts of pot? I’m looking for a mentor in making pot edibles and dabs. Mckenzy Dear Mckenzy: If you don’t want to pay for classes on extraction or cooking with cannabis, there are plenty of recipes to help…
I’ve been getting hash-pen cartridges at the Starbuds in the University of Denver neighborhood for months, but I’d never purchased its flower before. This Starbuds branch, located at 1640 East Evans Avenue, is across the street from an actual Starbucks and near the original Chipotle. Since plenty of college students…
Dear Stoner: Are edibles good for helping you sleep? A bunch of my friends say they’re using pot to sleep. What would you recommend? Menopause Minnie Dear Minnie: Eat an edible and you could be off to dreamland — as long as you pay attention to both dosages and strains…
Before marijuana critic William Breathes bid farewell to the Westword staff a few days ago, he gave me one piece of advice: “Go to Trenchtown,” he said. “You won’t be disappointed.” I wish I could afford a plane ticket to the famous Jamaican neighborhood that the late Bob Marley called home,…
When I dropped by the Clinic Colorado last summer, I couldn’t afford anything on the shelves. The shop, located at 3888 East Mexico Avenue, was selling eighths for more than $70 after tax on the recreational side. I’d never paid that much for chronic as a pasty tourist in Florida…
Last week, in honor of 4/20, Good Chemistry was offering 42 percent off any of its flower. The penny pincher in me simply couldn’t resist the lure of discount pot, so I stopped by the new Aurora location, at 16840 East Iliff Avenue, to see if Good Chemistry and good…
Walking up to the Denver Mart on 4/20 is exhilarating for a High Times Cannabis Cup virgin. You’ve heard the stories and seen the pictures, and now you’re ready to witness the madness (and probably partake in it). Over 500 marijuana business and thousands of people made the pilgrimage to…
As a hard-hitting journalist, I’m always looking for breaking stories that are essential to the public interest. So when I saw that a Green Solution had replaced a failed McDonald’s at 3179 Peoria Court, next to Nine Mile Station in Aurora, I figured it was my duty to stop in…

Broadway’s notorious dispensary row is known for cramped quarters and strong cannabis, but some shops can claim only the former. Sad to say, using popular…
