Colorado Pot Dispensaries

Colorado's First Medical Marijuana (MMJ) Dispensaries

Caregivers and medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado began to appear in early 2000.  In the beginning of Colorado's push for medicinal marijuana, only a handful of dispensaries existed.  For these early Colorado dispensaries operating their marijuana sales operations in a highly discrete manner was necessary to avoid avoid scrutiny from federal and state officials and ultimately to stay in business.

This all changed in 2009, when the Board of Health rejected a proposal to restrict the number of patients a caregivers could grow cannabis for to 5.  With the rejection of this limit the dispensary model was born and the path toward to robust Colorado marijuana scene you see today set. There are now hundreds of medicinal cannabis shops in Colorado and the state is making a killing of taxing marijuana sales.

Where's the best place to buy Blue Dream Strain in Colorado

Blue Dream Strain Review What is the Blue Dream Strain Marijuana? Blue Dream, a sativa-dominant hybrid, might be one of the most notorious strains to come from the West Coast. Stemming from a cross between Blueberry (an indica) and Haze (a sativa), this strain gives a productive, uplifting, and creative high thanks to the sativa dominance with very light cerebral effects courtesy of the 40% indica it offers (the other 60% is sativa, which is what makes it a sativa-dominant hybrid). Blue Dream has a fairly mellow onset that doesn't hit all at once, but rather sneaks up on you and gently starts to take effect. On the inhale, Blue Dream gives a pungent sweet berry flavor that any cannabis fan will enjoy. Medical users of Blue Dream have reported that this strain helps with anxiety, stress, body pains and depression. More specifically, users of Blue Dream who have body pains enjoy this strain because of the long-lasting pain relief it brings without the feeling of being heavily se...
