140 MARCH 26-APRIL 1, 2026 westword.com WESTWORD | REAL ESTATE | RENTALS | SERVICES | EMPLOYMENT | CANNABIS & MORE | CLASSIFIED | popular growers even more affordable. Maikoh’s $70 half-ounce deals are some of the best day-of bargains in town, too, while the pre-tax prices on Green Dot Labs are often below $40 an eighth. And after enough Costco cannabis runs, the loyalty points stack up fast. Now, that’s reefer rewards. Best Dispensary Comeback A Cut Above 1911 South Broadway A Cut Above was a longtime favorite among Denver cannabis shoppers, even as the ownership situation fl uctuated behind the scene for years and the store went through a mini rebrand. Long story short: The origi- nal owners agreed to sell the dispensary to a group from out of state, who changed the name to ACA, but the new group never fully paid the original ownership, result- ing in a lawsuit and a brief closing of the store in 2025. Judges sided with the origi- nal owner, Hobby Farms, which has since taken back the South Broadway dispensary and reopened it under the original name and signage, with many familiar faces from the initial crew behind the counter. The vast selection, jar lineup and competitive prices are back as if they never left, and the good juju is palpable when you walk in. No wonder this place is a cut above the rest. Best Pre-Rolls Seed & Smith Infused Pre-Roll Pack seedandsmith.com Infused mini joints are fastly growing in popularity, and for good reason: These little pocket cannons are no larger than 0.7 grams in total weight and can get the entire dinner table high. You’ll fi nd various price points, and fl ower and concentrate combinations, but we’re right at home with Seed & Smith’s live resin pre-packs. Each little tin comes with fi ve half-gram joints fi lled with specifi c combinations of Seed & Smith fl ower and live resin. The dogwalker-sized-doinks pack a mighty punch inside of fi fteen minutes, and you can usually fi nd them for around $25 be- fore tax, which is much more affordable than similar products. If you’re not careful, these can turn a quick corner smoke into an early night inside, so try to share these with a friend or two. Best Local Cannabis Follow on Instagram @brollinfi ngers instagram.com/brollinfi ngers Cannabis is a fi ckle game on social media, with most personalities and influenc- ers staying clear of anything that might get their account suspended or banned. Bradleigh Turner, known better as @ brollinfingers, doesn’t really care about playing within those rules — nor does she care about joint papers. Miss Brollin is all about blunts, so much so that she’s had to create multiple new accounts and deal with Instagram suspensions before fi nding some stability with her latest effort. But it’s not just blunts you learn about when following Turner. She’s more keyed into cannabis- friendly events and dispensary products in Denver than just about anyone else, and she has a knack for twisting up blunts for hip- hop acts when they come through town. Turner is somewhere between a profes- sional weed roller, social media personality and cannabis fanatic, and her authenticity (and nonstop view of weed smoke) leaks through the screen. Best Brick of Hash Brick Hash by Bubbleman Bubbleman A relatively new extraction operation that specializes in solventless concentrates, Bubbleman deserves brownie points for trying new things, and accolades for doing them well. While rosin is likely Bubble- man’s main moneymaker, we’re huge fans of the company’s bubble hash offerings. One-gram hash pucks and its two-pack Hash Hits — small disposable pipes pre- fi lled with milligrams of bubble hash for a quick and easy hash toke — are always wel- come sights at the dispensary, but it’s the big bricks that really make us beam. Sold in four-gram slabs, Bubbleman’s bubble hash bricks are sensibly priced, usually $50 or lower, and provide a fun, old-school sol- ventless bowl garnish, allowing you to save the rosin for the dab rig. And, like a bag of chia seeds for your morning yogurt, this bowl topper will last a long time. Best New Cannabis Lounge Cirrus Social Club 3200 East Colfax Avenue cirrussocialclub.com Years in the making after a reported $3 million makeover, Cirrus Social Club opened in April 2025, right before 4/20. The swanky cannabis lounge allows guests to peruse a cannabis menu and hit Vol- cano vaporizers and high-end glass, sip on THC mocktails, and nibble on non- infused snacks from an elevated munchies kitchen. You’ll fi nd a player piano, weekly jazz and monthly live performances from national drag queen stars at Cirrus; special events include burlesque shows and heav- ily decorated holiday parties. This place offers a sense of class that Denver’s canna- bis scene sorely lacked, and you can book reservations on OpenTable for a fi rst date or happy-hour session. Cheers to the new clouds on Colfax. The sense of normalcy was a long time coming. Best Dispensary When You Have $20 Left The Green Solution Twelve metro locations tgscolorado.com Plenty of stoners know the tough situa- tion of having a lone Andrew Jackson in your pocket and no weed at home. Gone are the days of a dealer who can hook it up for cheap or put it on your tab, but the Green Solution still has recreational deals to help you survive. A $20 bill can nab you a one-gram vape cartridge, a 100-milligram pack of gummies and a fat Kaviar joint fi lled with infused fl ower all day, every day, at a TGS shop. Even a daily toker should be able to stretch that out for a while, and with a dozen locations in the metro area, as well as daily deals and loyalty points, you can take those purchases even further. Best Live Resin Cartridges on a Budget Bonanza bonanzacannabis.com Burning on a budget often means sacrifi cing quality for price. For dedicated hash-pen users who don’t want to give up the luxury of live resin cartridges, Bonanza’s products are the best option for striking a balance. Bonanza live resin cartridges deliver a re- liable high and a smooth but strong drag. The rich, herbal hits of oils derived from strains like Sour Diesel and Trainwreck are great for pen-hitters who love the taste of cannabis, not butane. Popular dispensary chains like the Green Solution and Mecca Cannabis carry Bonanza’s one-gram live resin cartridges between $12 and $16 out the door, and half-gram varieties can oc- casionally be found for around $5. Best Mushroom Classroom The Mushroom Classroom 250 West Jewell Avenue mushroomclassroom.com Between the rising popularity of functional and food-forward fungi and Colorado’s nat- ural psychedelics laws, mushrooms have never been hotter in Denver. If you’re in- terested in learning how to live and grow within this world of mushrooms and my- celium, perhaps it’s time to go back to school at the Mushroom Classroom. The west Denver learning space runs classes and workshops for everything from psy- chedelics to tasty delicacies, with intro- ductory cultivation classes, microdosing workshops and grow-bag demonstrations held every week. Beginner, intermediate and advanced mushroom growers are all welcome, and you can even sign up for an introductory terminology course for free. Best Way to Break the Ice on a First Date Mushroom Matchup 925 East 17th Avenue plantmagic.org/events First dates often revolve around coffee or alcohol, so why not psilocybin? Plant Magic Cafe hosts a monthly Mushroom Matchup dating event, during which doz- ens of singles participate in a mixer and speed-dating session after taking small doses of psychedelic mushrooms. The un- orthodox affair — a legal event for adults 21-and-up under Colorado’s psilocybin sharing rules, according to organizers — is meant to remove the stress and anxiety from fi rst dates, and help participants open up to each other emotionally. After taking a break for the winter, Mushroom Matchup is scheduled to return on April 22 and will be held on the last Wednesday of every month thereafter. ■ Cannabis & More continued from page 138 ILLUSTRATIONS BY GETT Y IMAGES
