Who’s excited to buy some weed?
Denver may be home to the most evolved dispensary shopping in the world, with a decade-plus invested in retail cannabis and even more into medical marijuana. Yet even after all that time, we’re still far from universal prices and quality across the board. Depending on the store owner or its location, you may be in for one bunk ride.
To make sure you stay satisfied with your stash in Denver, here are some notable and quality dispensaries around town, as well as a list of local weed lounges.
