Is Cherry Creek Health the same as Pain Management of Colorado Inc.? The addresses are the same I think...Quote:

Had the chance to run to this place over my lunch break. Nice waiting room, quick paperwork...not sure about handicap accessibility as it's on the 2nd floor of a strip mall....maybe there's an elevator?
Anyway...there was some great quality here!! They have strains from Botanic Labs so you can sample his stuff there, but they have some other stuff. I got some Green Crack there that was probably some of the best stuff that I've ever seen in 15 years of smoking only dank!
Price will prevent me from becoming a regular. They sell grams from 17-20 and then they have 1 indica and 1 sativa for 13. They have no breaks on price for any qty, so if you got a 1/4 it'd be 7 x gram price. So, I'll only go to this place occasionally...like yesterday to get some kill budz for after thanksgiving turkey!!
1. C.A.M. - new place. $50 1/8 cap(no tax) on EVERYTHING ('cep sour d they pay a lil more for from a vendor-killer looking @ $60). tons of strains all real top notch. No c.g. b.s..nice people. clean and cmfortable place. my new fave!Quote:

3. Delta 9 - YEAH! the day I went he only had a few strains so he gave me the member price. $40 1/8 (+ tax )is by far the best I've seen ($55 for non members).
he also kicked me down a nug of killer OG kush. in fact the Black Domina I got was supreme also as was all of what he had. I might think about making this my spot!
4. Healing House - $60 an 1/8 is too much for me. $18 for a g of fire is ok occasionally. especially if there is a sick straight-out-of-Amsterdam coffee shop upstairs with vaporizors on 3 booths, freshly cleaned and iced down bongs, bubblers and all types of papers and grinders and pokers... guitar in the corner, cute coffee/bong tender girl, medicated coffee or hot chocolate. BEST PLACE IN DENVER! oh the meds are'nt bad but not the best I've seen.
5. I have'nt found a spot on par with these four but will continue the search
Loved this thread, thanks everyone.
I had questions on which dispensories I should check out. Unfortunately seems all the best are a bit of a drive, and prices are a bit rich compaired to the lousy brick I typically get :eek: LOL.
Once I've been to a few of these I'll review what I've seen.
Vance, what are you doing still getting brick?
just a follow up as I returned to GreenLeaf Farmacy yesterday. This was my second time there. I feel they are unique. One reason as I stated earlier (see my thread above) the medical evaluation was no cost as I did take them as my caregiver.
Anyway, I decided to try some of their mid tier medicine . Their ranges are from 12/g to 24/g . I chose Jack Herer (18/g) and a hybrid Sour Diesel / Dark Star (14/g). Now I cant' remember if you need to be a member for the discount, however the discounts start at 4 grams - which is 10%, 7 grams (1/4) at 15% and 1/2 oz at 20 %. I believe the 20% is the largest discount, so that would apply to a full z.
I like the place. For one thing it's convenient for me being in Boulder (where I live). They have some nice glass, a growing edibles selection. Yesterday they had added ice cream and lollipops. I got a lolli ;) which said it contained 1g. Also books, and some vaporizers all sold at the right price. The silver surfer was 249 same as online pricing.
I still like the atmosphere. It's a nice size space, and a good size room as the store. The main reason I'm posting about this place again was to report on my mid tier findings. As well the extra details I found out. Currently they are working with other local cultivators but will be moving to (or adding) their own grown strains.
Hope this helps. I do not work for them :) , just sharing my experiences
I like those $13 weekly specials nugs, cause they are always top shelf. Yeah the green crack is excellent. I just posted some quality photos of what it looks like close-up:
PurpleUrkle, Thai Diesel, and Green Crack from BAM

Large variety. They had about 30 strains when I was there. They had a bunch of edibles, tinc and was sold that you could order clones, but none on hand.
Quality/Price:
Out of the 30 strains, I settled on buying two. Yep that's right only two!! I had a pocket full of $$ too. Walked out with 1/4. That should say enough (but I'll write more) I picked up some of the Sour D and Afgooey. Buds are super frosty with trichs, and LOADED WITH FUCKING SEEDS!!! That's right, I haven't seen this many seeds in a bag of fire in my life. I'm talking like I put 2 little buds in my grinder to vape. From those 2 little buds I get 2-5 seeds. That is messed up. Price was great. Only paid $50/eighth + taxes. If I had paid more I would have been pissed off! Most of the strains they had were pretty crappy. Tiny, compressed buds almost looking packaged. There were some jars that had more shake then bud...
Staff Knowledge Level:
Poor at best. They guy that helped me (can't remember his name, but he told me he grows the ISS there) didn't know much. I'd pick up a jar, and ask is this indica or sativa, and he'd grab a piece of paper look it over, and say not sure.
Location/Ambiance Comments:
If I used a numerical ranking system I'd give C3 a 1 out of 5 in this category. If I used a star ranking system I'd give them 1/2 star out of 4. This place is a s**t hole. I had to wait 35 minutes. Standing there around exercise equipment, construction crew, and a bunch of random people. They share a space with some organization and they currently have one room, the size of a small office. I finally get in there, and am greeted by a desk with about 30 mason jars on it. WTF is that! Messed up thing was that they had a couple of shelves right there on the wall that they could use as a display. Instead you have to pick up every jar to find out what it is.
Overall:
It seemed obvious to me that this place doesn't give a crap about their meds. From the quality to the presentation I was very disappointed. Seems like every review I've read has been very positive, so maybe the bar was set too high, but I'm not sure they would have cleared any bar no matter the height. I'd pick up one jar and it would be full of shake. Pick up another jar, and there is a stemy, scraggly bud. Just not impressed at all. After waiting for so long to get back there ( there is 1 guy in the back when I got there, and it took him 35 minutes to leave) I literally walked in the room, saw the total disorganization of the strains on the desk and said out loud, no wonder it took that guy so long. The whole process from the long wait to the seedy buds just sucked for me! They are in the process of building out a better room with a display case etc. If I keep seeing positive reviews I may go back when that is done, but as of now, I'd rather pay a little more and not have to deal with C3.
I atually agree with most of what you've said about C3. They get a lot of props around here and I don't always understand it! The guy I've worked with there, Ricky, is a really nice guy and I think he's trying, but for a few more bucks I usually have a better experience elsewhere. With that said, it looks like they're expanding and offering greater capacity and a more traditional "budbar". However, that still probably won't be enough to get me back there.
As far as atmosphere is concerned, yeah, this place pretty much sucks! It's one tiny room adjacent to a huge, abandoned rec room in the basement of a sparsely-visited (until now probably) community center. I always feel like a criminal walking past the people upstairs who appear to have no/little association with the dispensary! Then when you get downstairs be prepared to wait if there is someone before you... ESPECIALLY if this is a first-time customer. Ricky will spend 45+ min with you if you're a first-time customer, which is nice, but maybe unnecessary for those that are already informed. So, if you're stuck behind a few people the wait can be tremendously long. This will probably be changed for the better soon with the new layout and expansion.
Atmosphere can be overlooked if the quality is there, but for me it is not. I've been pretty disappointed in the buds that the in-house grower produces! People had talked up his meds so much and they say the dispensary was built around his meds, but I usually find better meds among what they've purchased from independent growers. The Afgooey... which contained 3 seeds in a gram... was grown by their in-house grower. Not only did it have seeds... which aren't as big of a deal to find anymore with all the clones around.... but it wasn't that good!! I mean, it was loaded with trichomes, but there really wasn't much flower material... it was just REALLY trich'ed up leaves.... semi-wispy buds that were almost ENTIRELY leaf material. I can see where the untrained eye may look at these buds and think they're great because of all the trichs, but in actuality they are far from great. There is little taste, they burn unbelievably fast, and the effect for me was pretty much unnoticeable. The other meds I tried from the in-house grower were similar. It was a Sour D that didn't taste a thing like Sour D... in fact it tasted similar to his Afgooey. I think something is happening in the growing process that is not allowing these buds to meet their potential. They have a really odd "sweet" and "clean" taste..... could this be due to a lack of flushing nutes before harvest? Don't know...
I hate to dis this place because it seems a lot of people here love them, but this is just not the place for me either. However, if you're not that heavy of a smoker (lower tolerance) and you are tight on money... this place could be a godsend for you! I can see where some people would LOVE this place, but it's not for me.
That is too funny... I didn't mention it in my post, but I was thinking the same thing. I got the Sour D and the Afgooey. The Sour D definately has a funky non diesel taste. Haven't been able to pin down the exact flavor yet. But my Afgooey tastes the same way, and they look almost identical.Quote:

2nd time I tried their Afgooy and more Maui. The Maui is leafy - looks like somebody tried to rush the harvest and left the leaves on to make up weight. Total BS. The Afgooy is LOADED with seeds. In a 1g nugget, I pulled out 7 seeds. That's a shitload of seeds. The Afgooy is good quality, but not happy with the seeds. The Maui is good, but I'll bet 1/3 of the weight is untrimmed leaves.
I'm not at all impressed with their whole operation. Sitting around an old worn out exercise room full of broken down equipment. Minimum 30-45 minute wait both times I've been there. Jars and jars and jars and jars just sitting on the table with no real organization. No knowledge of the product. Just completely unorganized. 5x8 room with a credit card machine and a couple stoners inside trying to act like professional business men - straight outta Arkansas.
Glad I found this thread. I'll be visiting a new dispensary in the future. I don't care if it's $3 more per gram. Mu fucking TIME is worth $3/gram!! Got better things to do than sit around on worn out gym equipment and wait 45 minutes for seedy buds.
:mad:
finally someone is being honest about C3. went there 2 months ago and had a similar crappy experience. I dont know why some dudes gave them a good review on here.
I'm glad to find this thread so I can hit some REPUTABLE dispensarys. My next trip is to Golden.
Don't get me wrong, I think Shane and Rick are nice enough guys. I think the pricing is okay - it's a little high, but it's nothing to throw a tantrum about - especially for somebody who doesn't grow and doesn't have a care giver. It's just too unorganized for me and I don't like waiting 30-45 minutes. My TIME is worth more than that. I don't have 1.5 fucking HOURS of my life to drive over there, sit on my ass on some old sweaty gym equipment for 45 minutes - spend 10 minutes trying to just get what I want and then drive home. It's 1.5 fucking hours!! And the place is like 5 miles from my house. Ridiculous!! I want to get in and get out. Got other shit to do.
I ESPECIALLY don't like paying for seeds in the Afgooy and leaves in the Maui. I've been around awhile. Was born in 1971 and been smoking since I was 16yrs old. You do the math. I've seen some weed and smoked some weed in my day. Not all that impressed with C3.
Got better stuff on the street when it was illegal. These are supposed to be legit - nurtured strains grown under better conditions. The risk of going to federal prison was REAL back in the day and most grow rooms were set up so they could be dismantled and disposed of very quickly.
That's the rumor anyway...... ;) I wouldn't know a thing about that. :thumbsup:
And here we got legal meds - supposedly grown under better conditions with organic nutrients ....... the shit has seeds in it and it's still loaded with leaves to make up for the weight because some jackass got greedy and rushed the budding cycle.
No more C3 for me.
wasting your time going to both of them.
:D Yea, yea,.. Haven't had my license very long and have never been rich:thumbsup:.Quote:

Might still see a few 1/4oz rocks on my tray before a crop comes in too!
and Strainman,...why is Greatful meds NOT on the map?
C3 does take waaaaaay toooo long. And that exercise room is ghetto. I wasnt super impressed with the bud either. I did like the kif a lot though. The location is way too far out of my way, and takes too long to get average bud. I can get way better bud far cheaper from my caregiver.
High Country Healing is most definitely my favorite dispensary in Summit County. They have a really nice waiting area with free gatorade, snacks, and a flat screen tv. The location is very clean, professional, and well decorated. The staff is friendly,honest, and very knowledgeable. No appt. required, but you can make one if your from out of town. One brief sheet of paperwork and show id you are buzzed into a very large, but cozy medicine room. There is another huge flat screen tv, and an awesome view of the Gore Range. They also have a clone room on the side, with an ever changing tray of genetics. There is a huge glass bud counter with over 30 strains of medication, edibles, hash, vaporizers, tinctures, and all kinds of goodies. The have a few different price ranges from $35-$55 an eighth plus tax. I have found some really tasty and stinky smelling master kush, sour diesel, chemo #5, purple urkle, G x13 Haze, and many others but those are my personal favorites. I have been going in for a couple months, and love the atmosphere. I am always greeted by a friendly warm staff who remembers my name and never rushes me. They are always interested in my well being. The budtenders are cool too. They have a lot of soil, grown organic medicine, which is what i prefer. If you ask questions they will give honest answers. I know that High Country Healing is putting in hard work everyday to keep making improvements, and provide more services for their patients too. The high country is the place to be.
You and I must have been there on the same day at the same time because I could describe this same scenario exactly with the trimming going on, phone call, etc. Were they passing a bong around? I have seen this too, though I don't recall if that was happening on this particular occasion. Considering the fact that their customers mostly show up in cars and will be driving them away subsequent to their visit, I thought this was pretty unprofessional. They used to be my caregiver.Quote:

Just my $0.02.
i feel kinda bad piling on c3 but ricky convinced me to try the sour d and it was boring. the kif wasn't any better than what my grinder picks up. he sold me what he said was iss and if it was it sucked. i haven't even tried the querkle i bought cuz i don't expect it to be any good. but MY GOD! if you want tinctures they have the best i've tried. only tried from one brown mouse, healing house, and my caregiver but c3's night time tincture works like a charm every time.
Its not from lack of flushing. It would be harsher. I hope the in house grower addresses the problem, whatever it is. I mentioned it to him and I might print your post for him.Quote:

I will continue to go there because I believe they can work out their problems. There's PLENTY of dispensaries that are far worse than C3I that deserve much more thrashing. I think people just don't think they deserve the hype. But their prices are low, they are great people, and their herb is good enough for me.
I got the double gum at Delta 9, and then saw the exact same at C3. I did like the Double Gum a lot, and my friend said the Critical Mass was good. I just dont like waiting super long 45 minutes in a weird gym room.Quote:

And what is "Double Gum"?
Have had several visits to C3 over the last month or so and really hoped to see them progress along. The have a huge selection with maybe 6 strains that are worth my time.
The environment has always been substandard. Their new dispensary room looks like it will be a massive improvement but is not progressing very quickly. I was also hoping to see the waiting area improved. Maybe just move the chairs and coach closer to the dispensary and place the excersie equipment towards the rear of that massive room.
Not being able to see quickly and easily what strains are available really slows down the process. I was there several times before I knew that they had a fridge with candy and Cannabutter in it. With the disorganization of the strains, the massive amount of tictures, candies (the hard candy is excellent) and the personality of Ricky it can take an hour just to make a selection. Ricky is a great guy, friendly, talkative and alittle spacey. The scale can offer him challenges.
I have always been happy with the Afgooey and Euphoria. Their prices are certainly reasonable and better than many in the area.
I am not sure that I will take the 1 hour round trip there anytime in the future. With the amount of dispensaries opening we all have alot of choices. The patients will be the ones to decide which dispensaries actually make the cut. I hope to find a dispensary to call "home" closer to my house. Aurora will not allow dispensaries atm so hopefully I will find the price, quality and customer service without driving an hour.
These threads have been great in my quest for medicine. Thank you all for your input and expertise.

I was by no means trying to single out c3 as the worst place in Denver. I agree that there are probably far worse. I guess I'm just fortunate that I haven't had to deal with a lot of those.
But for all of the 'positive' hype that has been created on here about them, I had to share my experience as it was horrible. Granted not everyone will agree,and that is fine.
I guess I would challenge people that LOVE c3 to go and try a few other places out there. At some you may pay a little more but I feel that it is worth it.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
i feel the bottom line on c3 is that if you want cool people, cheap prices, and decent meds that's an awesome place to go. if you care more about quality there are places you can pay more and get fire with less customer interaction. eventually there'll be a few really good dispensaries with environment, pricing, and quality but for now you tend to have to pick and choose.
Made my first trip to C3, or ANY dispensary for that matter today, and here's my beginners take.
I can see where those of you who have had access to specific strains, especially those that are grown well, might have a problem with their buds. Maybe. They had a huge selection, 3 people working a VERY busy day (The Doctor was in) and they worked very fast and were cool with everyone. There was a great vibe in the room, a lot of joy. Rick was working with a older couple the whole time I was there about tinctures. That man loves what he's doing and the people he gets to work for, I'll say that.
The basement IS a bit ghetto. But I've gone to worse places to get worse stuff. Can anyone not say the same. I don't need a big screen TV, I don't wanna hang out. But at the same time, I went right in with no wait.
I tired their Organic Blueberry, Master Perm, and Double Gum. All three were great strains, tasty, well cured and I would say properly flushed. The flavor was there, although the buds seemed maybe a little leafy and airy. BUT again, to a guy like me, at this stage, I don't care. Thank God I can have my meds. I was able to combine a variety of meds to get into a happy and pain relieved state, and how the buds look don't matter. They're ALL beautiful.
I'm going to try other places, because part of this great journey is the chance to sample all the different wares. But that said, C3 offers a good vibe, good prices, and VERY good bud from VERY nice people. I care about who I do business with, and I like nice people, and I want to support them, they deserve my money for nothing more than they make the world a happier place to live in.
Glad you enjoyed it. They have some more double gum at c3, so try it again if you'd like to.Quote:

I know many use the term wellness, this one is in boulder off , somewhere off
araphahoe and 55. Looks like edibles and tinctures mostly .
prices *start* at $20 a gram at both of the dispensaries in Louisville.
the moratoriums have been good for nobody, except these dispensaries that squeezed in last minute.
that's not good . I'm sort of curious as to what kind of revenue these dispensaries pull in. Is it serious or a struggling business with some of the startup / survival cost gets kicked back to the customer.Quote:

THIS is what I have been hoping for. The ability to blend a few different strains, targeting the issues I have. And I feel wonderful.
So my final word is that there stuff gets the job done. Good prices and great guys to work with from all accounts.
I may go other places to check the goods and expand my pallet, but for what I need, C3 will more than fit the bill.
Peace.
