In 2011, the famous American Rapper, Snoop Dogg spoke in a concert about the legalization of Cannabis. “They legalized alcohol, they legalized tobacco, what is it gonna hurt to legalize this medicinal, medical marijuana that’s used for the purposes of cataracts?” It was later in 2014 that the Cannabis sales were legalized in Colorado. 

Five years into legal weed sales, Colorado now counts more than 500 retail dispensaries selling marijuana grown by 700+ cultivators. Colorado has effectively executed some of the most strict quality as well as safety controls in the country. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that every joint, concentrate and edible is produced equal.  The dispensary scene in Colorado has grown to be in the same way as food retailers have - with each brand of Cannabis - whether it be a single shop or an integrated chain - catering to the tastes and values of every type of stoner.
