Colorado marijuana prices and tax revenue continue falling and more stores, growing operations and extractors are closing, but that hasn’t stopped new dispensaries from opening around Denver.

Broomfield and Thornton both recently saw new dispensaries come to town, while Social Cannabis has opened a second store in Denver. The new dispensary, now open in the Montbello neighborhood, occupies a former auto mechanic shop, and co-owner Sher Joudah wants to keep cars involved in the business.

“We have a drive-thru window. Hopefully we’ll get that going in a few months,” she says.

The window is already in place and drive-thru dispensary sales are allowed in Denver, but Social Cannabis needs to have a security and surveillance plan approved by the city before it can offer drive-up sales. Social Cannabis hopes to have that permit by the summer, according to Joudah.
