It’s been a little over a year since Colorado made history by implementing the country’s first legal market for retail marijuana, netting the Centennial State over $60 million in tax and licensing revenues, and garnering global praise for its successful rollout of the fledgling industry.
The owner of Caregivers For Life, a boutique marijuana center in Cherry Creek, estimates the shop’s retail business now accounts for five times that of medical sales, with two thirds of purchases being made by out-of-state visitors. Since the passage of Amendment 64 her staff has doubled, to 22.
Proudly offering only organic, soil grown buds — including some of the finest Cannabis Cup winners, the menu at Caregivers For Life also boasts an expansive assortment of edibles, from Oreo cake balls to cappuccino bars. But the center’s real claim to fame is its Colorado Cannabis Oil (also known as Phoenix Tears, Rick Simpson Oil or RSO).
Crafted in-house using a full plant alcohol extraction method that’s not performed anywhere else in the state, the cannabinoid-rich oil comes in capsule, syrup or syringe form, and is used by customers to treat a variety of health conditions ranging from headaches and arthritis to chronic pain and cancer.
“It’s a beautiful plant that helps a lot of people in a lot of different ways, and to be able to open that up to the recreational market has been amazing,” said the owner, who is expanding the grow and extraction facilities to meet demand for the product.
We believe in bringing top shelf marijuana and the finest concentrates to everyone at affordable prices.
