High folks! I've been reviewing dispensaries and covering various topics within the Colorado MMJ scene. Check it out and lemme know what you think:

The Strain Man

Also, lets share dispensary experiences here in this thread. Here are some of mine that haven't made it to the blog yet:

First the good....

Boulder Alternative Medicine
BoulderMeds.com

Great place! Usually have at least 10 different strains for various budgets. Anywhere from $8 a gram for great tiny mix of nugs from the bottom of bags for rolling, all the way to $17 a gram for some of the best bud CO dispensaries have to offer. These guys are so cool that if you buy a gram or two, they'll actually CUT THE BUDS OFF THE STEMS before weighing so you pay for what you smoke, not what you throw out. I'll keep coming back here.

One Brown Mouse in Nederland
onebrownmouse.com
If you want great indoor, locally-grown high-altitude bud, this is your place. I like the town and the staff who also grow their own for the store and are very knowledgeable. Prices are great, too.. $14 a gram for primos like Sage and Sour Diesel.


The Bad.....

New Options wellness in Boulder
no website

These are the guys that got robbed, and ya feel those vibes in the staff with every heavy breath in the place. Despite their bad luck, honestly, their wares just suck. I opened and inspected every jar (and they had like 20 different strains) and it seems that no one there knows anything about proper drying and curing. Some of the jars smelled of ammonia!!! WTF! Also, many of their strains are mislabeled and not what they claim to be. Also over-priced at $20 a gram for their better selections when there's such better bud not a mile away.


The Ugly...

Pain Management of Colorado in Denver

They'll sign you up for $350 and have a 70 year old doctor from the Dominican Republic who can't speak English that well. A bit shady in both dealings and location. They had 2 strains on hand when I checked it out and one was just crap, the other was an AK-47 which looked decent, but it just wasn't AK-47. They also have some edibles, but they are very weak. These guys are in it for the money and that's easy to see. BEWARE: If you use these guys to set you up, I hear they will make you select them as your primary caregiver, so you'll have to change that ASAP with the state.

Botanic Labs in Longmont has among the best of best meds I've seen. $20 per gram up to 7 grams, but cannot purchase more than 7 grams from Matt, as he likes to spread the wealth among many. Relatively speaking, it'll beat most other grams out there for $20+. Best bag appeal cause he's his own source growing only what he likes to smoke himself; while the rest of us get to bask in his skills. Every jar out of the 12 or so had the best and varied aromas eminating from both local-only and main-stream strains.

He had Maui, AK-47 cherry pheno, Kush, Hong Kong, Boulderberry(from a Boulder blueberry clone), and 5 or 6 others I can't remember now. All was impressive and gave me a glimpse of the kind of quality hiding in the Boulder/Longmont area. This place sets the bar for quality and I can only hope other folks strive to provide meds that good, but for $12 a gram

call first, it's by appointment only, and there's no 'make me a caregiver' crap.

The Strain Man

I just found the most kick-ass care-giver service in the Nederland area called the High Country (THC). $320 oz's/$45 eighths of everything. Primary patients pay $300/$40. 100's rooted clones at $15 each. Over 50 strains!!!! mostly organic. They supply most every other care-giver in the area except for One Brown Mouse, which is simply legendary (albeit pricey) in quality. If I'm ever skiing up there, there is no way I'd stop anywhere else cause they are the cheapest and have the absolute lowest prices in Colorado I've seen. Chek out the review:

Oh and one more thing: MENTION THESTRAINMAN AND RECEIVE A FREE GRAM OF MEDS OR FREE CLONE with purchase!!!!

If you make it to CO springs check out Cannabis Therapeutics---then post a review. They have killer meds and edibles that are out of this world. Tell them Dr. VonDank sent you...
