Hello Colorado!!!
I have been trying to track down a listing of the top rated/best dispensaries in the GJ area and am having a hard time finding any reviews on the stores themselves.
I was wondering if there is anyone on the Western Slope who could chime in with their two cents. Here is a small list of the places I have visited.
Naturals - Very welcoming with a very nice staff. They are not that educated in strain varieties. If you ask anything more than the name then specifics start to get fuzzy. As for clones they only carry the absolute basics such as ISS and Blueberry. I have asked if they could bring in any of the strains that they have in dry form and I just got a simple "no". The quality of the buds are decent. I picked up some "Chemdog" (no "D" or '91 or anything just Chemdog). To me the buds looked lightly kiefed. It did smoke well, though not leaving the all white ash that I was hoping to see in "Medical Grade".
Heavenly Healing - This is a much smaller store ran by a husband and wife team. They are very welcoming upon entering the store and are quick to bring you into conversation, easily making you feel comfortable. The meds that I saw myself were not extraordinary, though they did all look of decent quality. For me the big win with this place is their selection of clones that they have. I was very excited to be able to pick up my first legal ladies. I picked up three clones.
Purple Paonia Paralizer (not sure when I got it but wanted it bad enough to take a chance. I asked him point blank and he in fact told me it was the "cut" from '83. Have since talked with a local who's knowledge I trust and feel that it is not really the PPP as most folk didn't even grow from clone at that point, rather growing from seed generation to generation. Also, she is growing very sativa-ish right now, with long slender leaves. Maybe she was from a PPP seed that is just expressing the sativa side of the line. Deep down I am still hoping that she surprises me by going purple and giving me that aroma/taste/high that I remember from my teenage days. More on that later if anyone is interested.
Afgoo - This cut I have only heard good things about so I was excited to get her as well. Now that I doubt the PPP though I am figuring this could be incorrect as well. EDIT: Upon searching the forums and google, it looks like the clone is dead on with other images that I have seen. In leaf growth, structure. I am feeling good about this girl being correct. I will see more-so when it is time for harvest/cure.
White Queen - This variety is the strain that the owner is entering into the Cannabis Crown. I saw several photo's the plant and bud that he is entering and she looked very dank indeed so I thought I would give her a go. She is very vigorous in the garden wasting no time putting out new sets of leaves. She will certainly be the first of the three to make into the flowering area.
There are several other Dispensaries around the valley and I am hoping that some ICmag folks can chime in and help to filter through the crack-pots so that we can focus on the worth-while stores.
I have checked out weed-maps and there are very limited reviews of a few of the stores, though really it is hard to not know if it is just the owners/employees putting those reviews up.
Keep It Green Colorado!
