Walking Among the Weeds at a Pueblo Pot Farm

Denver's cannabis cultivation warehouses are easy to smell but hard to access. The outdoor farms of Pueblo West, however, are out in the open: secured, but spread out under the sun. Perhaps that's why the folks at Nature's Gift Shop are so happy to walk around their cultivation, which looks more like a toy store than a farm to some cannabis connoisseurs.
