Race Car Trailer Turned Cannabis Kitchen
Here’s the story of Sweet Grass Kitchen based in Denver, CO
Ah yes, look at all of these beauties. They’re awaiting to be turned into the sweet sweet treats known under the label of Sweet Grass Kitchen sold all around Denver County and surrounding areas. What started out as a race car trailer has now turned into an entire cannabis warehouse! There are about 100 or more plants in this one small room that is perfectly catered to allow the plants to reach their full growing potential. A strain called “Sueno,” which is a hybrid cross of the well known Blue Dream and Sour Diesel Strains. Tempted to take a personal sample, I was told that these plants already have a set path and not a single component will be wasted. This is the same strain they have been using and growing since 2009 when the company started and it has been working wonders in their delectable goodies.
Here is an example of their packaging and some of the products they offer. The cookies are bite size and 10mg each. Here you can see their snickerdoodle, peanut butter, and chocolate chip cookies. They also have brownie bites, other cookie flavors, and you will soon be able to buy some cannabutter on the shelves! The cookies themselves are delicious. I was lucky enough to have a sample of some non-infused brownie cookies or “brookies” as the soon to be coined term. These cookies can be bought in almost any dispensary around Denver and they get great reviews for the consistently good quality product.
Here is what Denverites can be looking forward to seeing in their dispensaries refrigerator section real soon! The butter is cut into 10mg pieces making it easy for users to knowingly consume as much as they are choosing to. This is the same as the butter they use in their other edible cannabis products, but was made far less potent for safe consumption. I will be looking forward to putting this on my toast, in my macaroni and cheese, or even my pancakes (I really like butter guys). This is a great direction for the company to take especially since they solely sell edibles, creating a larger market for themselves and further integrating and normalizing cannabis consumption.
This tour provided a great opportunity to see the ins and outs of a cannabis business in action. This woman-owned business has come a long way since the one-room operation that started in 2009. The products are made without harmful chemicals and this business is ran in an honest and transparent way. Thank you so much Sweet Grass! I will be sure to sample products soon. (Yes selfies were allowed so you know I had to catch a shot of myself in pure bliss — if only pictures could capture smells.
