Aspen, Colorado is known for its picturesque mountain scenery, world-class ski resorts, and high-end shopping and dining. However, did you know that it also has a thriving marijuana scene?
Recreational marijuana use has been legal in Colorado since 2012, and Aspen is no exception to this trend. There are several dispensaries located throughout the city, where adults 21 and older can purchase a variety of cannabis products. These products include flower (bud), concentrates, edibles, topicals, and tinctures.
One popular dispensary in Aspen is Silverpeak Apothecary. This dispensary is known for its wide selection of high-quality cannabis products, as well as its knowledgeable and friendly staff. They also have a rewards program for their loyal customers.
If you’re new to cannabis and don’t know where to start, Silverpeak Apothecary offers a “Cannabis 101” class every Wednesday at 4:20 PM (Yes, you read that right), where you can learn about the different types of cannabis, the various consumption methods, and the potential benefits and risks of using marijuana.
Another popular option is The Green Joint, is another dispensary with a wide range of cannabis products, including flower, concentrates, edibles, and topicals. They also have a knowledgeable and friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere.
One unique aspect of the Aspen marijuana scene is the use of cannabis in the area’s many luxury spas. Some spas offer cannabis-infused massages, which use specially formulated oils and lotions that contain THC and CBD, the two main compounds found in cannabis. These massages are said to provide a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.
There are also recreational events such as Aspen 420 Fest, which is an annual festival that celebrates marijuana culture and features live music, vendors, and a large selection of cannabis products.
Of course, while it is legal to purchase and consume marijuana in Aspen, it is important to keep in mind that it is still against federal law, and it is still illegal to take marijuana across state lines or to consume it in public.
All in all, Aspen is a great destination for cannabis enthusiasts, whether you’re looking to purchase high-quality products, learn more about marijuana, or simply enjoy a relaxing cannabis-infused spa treatment.
