I had the pleasure to visit Herbal Connections located right on the corner of Leetsdale and Alameda in Glendale. I decided to give this place a go since Channing from The Denver Chronicle started working there. I have been following Channing on the Denverchronicle blog as well as forums. I got a sense that this person would not work in an establishment that was not above board and treated their patients fairly. I am so happy that I was correct.

I can not say anything about the Highlands location but the one on Alameda was a wonderful experience.

There was the usual amount of paperwork, nothing new or exciting

The two individual there Michael and Leif were very pleasant and seemed knowledgable. Michael obviously was not use to budtending but his strain knowledge was apparent.

The ambiance was very nice. Large open and very clean. The actually dispensary seems to be located on a stage and you have to take a step up or two to get there.

Variety was nice for actual buds as well as ediables, tictures and lotions. They had about a dozen strains and B+ - A+ and the ticture I purchased was the best I have experienced so far.

I picked up some Grape Krush(DJ short) and Golden Goat. I am very happy with both of these purchases.

The Goat was some of the better I have seen and has that distictive Island Sweet skunk smell. It was a mellow high that allowed me to focus. I found it perfect daytime medication.

The Grape Krush is a very nice. Wonderful fruity smell and a very grape taste to it. It has a great euphoric type head high without anxiety and also gives a mild body high. I enjoy all aspects of what I smoke, taste, smell, flavor and effect. This strain has it all.

They had some excellent looking clones and a very nice variety. It would be great to try a strain and then purchase a clone of it. They offer this for several of their varieties.

Their prices are excellent 17/50/90/160/320 or less tax is NOT included.

My overall experiencer was great and best of all it is the closest dispensary to my home.
