Colorado is known for our extensive weed culture. Whether you’re of legal age or possess a medical marijuana card, we’re always on the lookout for the best dispensaries Fort Collins has to offer. Based on experiences from weed consumers across town, here are the results:

  1. The Green Solution: Best for overall experience

The Green Solution is one of the highest rated dispensaries in Fort Collins, according to Yelp. Located near CSU, the highly knowledgable budtenders are both helpful and friendly. The employees have extensive knowledge on each strain and what will be the best choice for you personally, all while cultivating great conversation, making it feel like — no, you aren’t buying drugs — but medically tested marijuana.

2. Organic Alternatives: Best for that ‘organic’ we’re looking for

Organic Alternatives is known for using organic practices to grow and produce the highest quality cannabis, so for those health-concious individuals out there — you can now smoke your organic greens. The employees are personable and the weed is reasonably priced. They also carry CBD dog treats; say no more.

3. Ace’s Place: Best for cheap weed

Ace’s Place is a family owned dispensary that’s been in Fort Collins for the last 10 years according to their website. They focus highly on a genuine human interaction and take care when helping you choose the best strain for you. Something to keep in mind: on Tuesdays, if you spend over $5 dollars they throw in a joint for a penny.

4. C.A.R.E.S. Best for physicians who know what they’re doing

C.A.R.E.S. is a physicians clinic which specializes in alternative pain management. Each physician has at least 30 years of pain management experience, leaving you with the feeling that you’re in the right hands. This is also a great place to renew your medical marijuana card. Though a more professional environment than we’re used to, (no dis on hippie smoke shops, we all love them) this is a wonderful place to start down the medical marijuana path.

5. Verts Neighborhood Dispensary: Best for that classic ‘dispo’

With a “nice-enough” staff and a rather janky facility, Verts at least has good cannabis quality. There is an amazing strain selection that leaves customers high and happy; all while assuming that you value quality over quantity. While their weed can be pricy, there are certain days that Vert’s offers awesome deals.
