Well, either way....keep trying other places. I've only been to ten, but Patient's Choice isn't really all that great. I have no affiliation or allegiance to any place. Shop around more!Quote:

I tried Metro Cannibus after reading your review and found some real good stuff. Afwreck was killer at $25g. Russian ladies were nice enough. Thanx for the heads up. Which is your favorite of the 10 or so dispensaries you have been to?
$25/g is too much, in my opinion, even for a good strain like Afwreck.Quote:

I'm not sure I have a favorite- I still have another 20 dispensaries I'd like to check out. So far I think the best experience I've had was at Cherry Creek Health.
Anything over $50 an eighth is just ridiculous. The place in frisco charges like $57, and they have a good selection, and a few top shelf strains like cherry lime haze. I like their hash though. Im not going to many dispenseries till they drop price big time.
I live in durango and I am pleased with the buds and prices from Durango Healing center. Can be a little expensive, but as dispensaries go it is the best weed for the price. I was the first customer of this establishment, and have gone back 5 times. I prefer them over Natures medicine because the food quality they have is better and the prices are too. I am really upset with natures medicine because the first 2 lollipops i had didn't get me high at all and the tincture they sold me 65 bucks was trash. No refund or anything. I am not rich so that was very disappointing, especially because the budtender lied to me saying the tincture was 90% thc :wtf: . If that was the case I would have HAD to get high! but i didn't and was very upset over the loss of money. I am looking for a good cook in durango that can give me fair prices as I need very potent food. If you know of one, pm me!
agreed Patient's choice is just ok, and way over-priced. so many better meds for cheaper at other shops. sorry, lower the prices by 33%-50% and then you'll get my thumbs up.Quote:

For top dollar, as well. I also really hate the way they make up fake names for their lower-grade stuff. Black Domino, Super Silver, Lamb's Breadth etc. The just change the name of a popular strain a little and write it on a jar. Deceptive business practice IMO. This needs to stop day before yesterday because it's sleazy.
On the other hand, the staff has been nice to me and they usually throw some freebies in and I bought a G of pressed kief that was very potent. I don't shop there much any more because DHC is better, and from what I've seen the place on HW3 is too.
Nice to see another Durangotang.
Peace!

GRATEFUL MEDS Great meds very nice looking buds.Nice people !!!!

Where is Cherry Creek Health at? I'm setting up a hit list for when I go get my card.
If I can remember, Cherry Creek Health is located just off 1st ave on Cook st in the Cherry Creek shopping area.
Metro Cannabis/Cannabis 4 Health/Cannamart
*I put these 3 dispensaries together because I believe they are owned by the same group/company because each place has the same strains and edibles, and all three have had the same Eastern European accent.
Price: Poorly manicured buds start at $280, but I think one could expect to pay around $350 to $400 for most of their strains.
Atmosphere/staff: They are fast, non-intrusive, friendly and always give me free edibles or knock the price down a tad if I buy a good amount.
Quality/variety: They carry up to 40 strains at any given time. I've sampled some great strains including Afgooey, Blue Dragon, Romulan, and AK-47. They have awesome edibles, including the OG Brownies that really fuck you up. I can only take a bite at a time or I get too stoned ($15 ech).
Grade: A-[/QUOTE]
For some odd reason, I can't seem to edit this post...
...I've definitely changed my mind about this organization. My last experience rubbed me wrong. I wandered into another one of their dispensaries off Parker with the promise of 20%-35% off all products. Even with the discount, their cheapest strain was at least $400. The lady didn't know shit about the product there. She had to call the boss to ask questions (his name is Vladimer). They all seem to be nice people, but I just don't trust the product they're selling. I have talked to a few people since I've been to Cannamart, and they've told me that they've bought strains from them and they're pretty sure wasn't what it was advertised.
For that, I retract my glowing review. I'd steer people towards places like C3 Initiatives. I'll review a couple more dispensaries, but I'm too engulfed in sports today!
Pepper smell is ruptured trichomes....probably used one of those rotary grinders to manicure the bud.Quote:

Atmosphere/staff: Shane was very informative, friendly, and gave me all the time I needed. C3 seemed more intent on helping patients stay healthy than making a profit.
Quality/variety: I was able to sample 4 strains and they were all of top quality. Euphoria, Bubble Berry, God Berry, and Cali Orange. Potent and smooth, great tasting. Some of the better strains Iâ??ve ever tried.
Grade: A. Best dispensary Iâ??ve been to.
Biocare
Price: $10-$15 gram, tax not included.
Atmosphere/staff: I happened to stop by Biocare on their second day of business. They are located on 29th and Speer in a nice, upscale shop. The owner/grower was friendly and had a lot of helpful tips on making cannabutter. When I fudged on being short of how much I owed him (forgot tax was included), he worked with me, which was incredibly nice.
Quality/variety: Since he had just started his business, he had only 4 strains (Hindu Kush, Mt Cook, Cough, and Bubble Kush (I think)), all being on the indica side. I purchased Cough and Hindu to make butter with (havenâ??t yet), but smoked both, along with a sample the Mt Cook, and am pleased to say that each were better than their price. Nice selectionâ?? I believe they were all grown outdoors.
Grade: Aâ??. Yes, I will go back. Affordable, quality meds.
Cherry Creek Health
Price: $50-$60 range. Tax included, if I can remember correctly.
Atmosphere/staff: Couple of younger guys and a gal who were polite, patient, friendly, and informative. I really like the inside of their shop, which is located inside an office building. I only had to fill out one form that took all of 10 seconds.
Product/Quality: I asked for their best and got Fuzz (sativa) and Mango Soma (indica). The Fuzz was pretty good, but the Soma was fantastic for me. Loved it. They had about 15-20 strains, many I recognized as having very good reputations.
Grade: A. Great selection, average prices, location, friendliness, and quality meds.
Thanks diet, keep the info coming. :thumbsup:
i'm with you Blondie. C3 has their stuff together! The most care-giver'ish place of them all and great prices for quality meds. I've only been there once, so not ready for a strainman review yet but I love it so far. I had their Sour Diesel, Blowfish, and Euphoria. All excellent. How'd you like the euphoria? I thought it really pretty and very potent. Hard choice, but Blowfish was my favorite by a bit.Quote:

I was smiling from the time I entered Coors Field until I left.Quote:

Some great reviews here guys. You all should sign up over at allmmj.com and start doing some reviews over there once the Dispensaries start listing there.

Hey DietBlonde, thanks for the list. I'll add some that were missed in my new
Colorado Medical Marijuana Dispensary MAP
So far there's a bunch of Denver shops listed, but will be adding more from all over the state when time permits.
Healing House
123 W Alameda
Denver, CO
Price: around $40 - $60 per 1/8th (tax included). I think their most expensive strain went for $440 for non-members, which I consider a little pricey.
Staff/establishment: Healing House is a quaint, two-story dispensary off Broadway a block on Alameda. No paperwork to fill out when you enter. The staff was friendly and I had a nice conversation with a worker while I was in line. The first level is where the waiting room and bud counter is. A few sofas and comfy chairs to relax on. Magazines strewn about. Wear a jacket because its cold inside! They seemed well organized and the budtender was patient and knowledgeable.
Upstairs is where they have a "cafe". Its quite neat, actually. I'm sure there's no other place like this in Colorado- where you can sit at diner tables and drink medicated coffee while surfing wi-fi and hitting any of their 3 volcano vaporizers. They sell medicated and non-medicated drinks and edibles. The "chef" is a friendly guy who has plans to expand his menu- ones that cater to diabetics and people with Celiacs.
Product Quality: Sounds like they usually have around 5-10 strains at all times. They say they grow their own. They must get good seeds because they typically carry strains like Chemdog, MK Ultra, Super Silver Haze, Romulan, Big Bud, Sweet Tooth, White Rhino, etc. Nothing too obscure. Strains proven to get the job done. They sell clones for $20. Edibles made from hash oil, did the trick nicely. Good selection. In the cafe, they serve medicated hot chocolate, hot tea, and coffee.
Grade: A. I'll hit them up for grams and I'm gonna be a regular at the cafe! Definitely a place to at least try!!!
I like the sound of that coffeeshop. Here in Durango, there is no consumption within 15ft of the dispensaries so we'll never get one of those...:(
Finally got to know C3 Initiatives well enough for a review. Check it out:
http://thestrainman.blogspot.com/200...review-c3.html
Nicely done, Strain Man! Keep up the GREAT work!
The Denver dispensary scene needs a website like Yelp.com so that the general public can sort through what dispensaries are legit and ones who are a rip off.
I hope that made sense. I'm currently blazed...
I agree with you on the One Brown Mouse dispensary in Nederland Colorado. They carry a line of edibles from Deez Wake N Bakery that are out of this world. Best/strogest edibles in the state by far. Nice selection of buds too. They had over 15 varieties some of which I've never seen anywhere else. Put this place on your list of places to check out.
Hi. Hope I am doing this right as I am new on here. I wanted to ask if you or anyone else knew how become a grower for a dispensary? I don't know who to contact etc.
Thanks!!
I checked this place out last week. They had 5 strains. $55-$60. All looked killer. (I grabbed a g of super heady "Lucky Charms" and the lady only charged me $20). It's a real "doctors office" type place focusing on chiropractice and accupuncture. I was told that most of their patients don't even know it's a dispensary. Very nice lady, no caregiver pressure B.S., appointment only, (leave a message for call back), not crowded. Wish they had a few more strains and maybe some hash or keif but overall I give this spot a solid B.
here it is folks, a new Strain Man review. Kick-ass herb in Denver!
The Strain Man: The Strain Man's Dispensary Review: Highland Health in Denver
Another awesome review StrainMan.
Feijao
I recently visited Green Medicals in Northglenn on 107th and Washington. I was not impressed. The mid-grade (180 1/2 oz.) was only average. The buds were small and it seemed like it was mishandled. No crystals or trichomes to be seen. The top shelf stuff was ok, but expensive ($220 1/2 oz) They had many popular strands (Sour Diesal, grapefruit kush, purple mountain, etc.) But, I noticed they had very little if any smell at all. The Purple Mountain was beautiful, but not for the price they wanted. Oh, be prepared to pay sales tax. So that makes a $180 half ounce cost $217. For my money, I'll continue to use Front Range dispensary off 88th and Federal.:rasta:
In Englewood on Broadway. (Broadsterdam?) 10 to 20 strains. 60$ 8ths, 25$grm.(+ tax) Well known strains. I tried Afghan #1 and a AK- 47. Both were ok. alot of mid grade stuff. kinda over priced. They have a huge room with couches, pool table, x-box, piano, guitar. lots of graffiti on the walls. you can smoke out of one of their kinda dirty bongs if you bring your own lighter. Not alot of caregiver pressure and Drew and Bruce seemed freindly enough. They have a gang of killer clones though and they seem to know alot about growing. I give 'em a B. bring down the price a lil and I will be back.
Word
Funny how pricing can influence whether or not an experience at a dispensary was positive or negative.
some of us are not rich. some of us are not in cahoots with all types of growers or dealers. some of us just want to be able to afford a bag of high grade medication. yes price is a factor. some of us must have money to burn. not me
you and me both, my friend. price is probably my biggest factor in deciding where to go.
I understand that they must charge a specific amount to cover overhead. Just like any other American enterprise. However, all the tactics used to make you sign over primary caregiver status is ridiculous. Also the problem I have with Green Medicals specifically is they are charging way too much for an average product. They also make you sign a form upon purchase making them your 1-day caregiver. This was strange to me. I read what I was signing and understood that I was "momentarily" signing over my caregiver rights to them for the date stated on the form. Also, they are very informal and have almost no type of privacy for you to discuss your needs without every person behind you overhearing your conversation. Usually not a big deal to me, but the annoying woman behind me was including herself into a discussion about my health and what meds I should try. I have a debilitating condition that isn't visible to the eye and I would rather not have strangers putting their two cents worth in uninvited. The way to solve this problem is to have a small consultation area that offers some discretion. Something like the divided windows at Walgreen's. Noone would ever tolerate a stranger over your shoulder advising you as to how to take your prescription meds, why the lax tolerance for cannabis. If these dispensaries want to make it, they must take a more professional stand. Treat your patients like patients. The last thing I need is a dorm-room drug dealer gone legit. The last thing the MMJ reform needs is a 25yr old kid peddling his "chronic" legally with the sole intent of profit and a total disregard for the reason cannabis was legalized for medical use. You guys want to see a change in legislation, a change in mentality? You have to be the ones to promote these changes. Refer to your medicine appropriately. It is cannabis. Not weed, not dope, not chronic. CANNABIS. Protect your right to medicine that isn't addictive. Protect your rights by respecting them!
Thanks Gwendy for calling out another bogus dispensary. If there were only a user-friendly, user-submitted website (i.e. yelp.com), that could allow the typical patient a chance to grade their dispensary experience...it could force dispensaries to get straight or lose returning customers.
I'm sick of hearing people getting ripped off and treated like shit by people who are supposed to be aiding in the well being of their clientele. Some of these dispensaries deserve to fail.
The laws in Co re: MMJ have many gray areas. Some restrictions and accountability for caregivers is necessary to keep things legit. If you want to have the privacy of your patients protected under "hippa" you must also protect their privacy. The taboos of marijuana, weed, dope, dank, etc. is something that are going to be very hard to shake. It doesn't help when dispensaries are setting themselves up in locations that are very shady and disorganized. If you want to call it medicine, treat it as such. Dispense it professionally. Allow the patient the option to be spoken to in a more private setting. Remember how we have been forced to buy our meds before it was legalized. MMJ legalization is something that can very quickly become over-restricted if people continue to abuse the loop-holes and gray areas.
Yeah, that is unfortunate, but who do you think is opening up and supplying these dispensaries? It's the people who were growing illegally a few years ago...Quote:
