Native Roots

MJ lovers paradise. They have one of the best gummies and kush bomb in town. The limit for out of state guest 7oz. They have one of the most complete selection in town and they accept credit cards (surprise!). There is also a lounge area with 6 seats just in case you need it. They close at 6:55pm on the dot, so if you miss, you have to go outside the denver city limits. Most places outside the city opens late.

This dispensary is located on the 16^th street outside mall. Once you go inside, you walk downstairs and a guy greets you and checks your ID. Then you wait in the waiting area (like a real medical office) and they call you when you’re ready to go inside. One point docked off for letting the people who came after us go before us. I clearly remember the moment when it happened – all I could think about was, «we waited ALL NIGHT for this place to open, we’re finally here, why the hell is that couple going before us?! Unilocal TIME» Not that I thought they were intentionally discriminating against us, but just to note, we were the only Asians in the whole facility, and I was on edge, and they really had no reason to let the couple go before us. We didn’t have more people in our group than them, there was just no logical reason I can think of other than … ?! who the hell knows.
Anyway, that moment really upset me, and I would’ve actually gave them 2 stars had it have not been for the employees INSIDE that helped us out – they were all really cool. The guy was super patient with us and gave us a lot of recommendations and shared his opinions. The only downfall was, they sold us on a lot of the gummy and sour patch type edibles. These were super delicious (and I mean super super delicious)! They were unlike any edibles I have ever tried. The downfall? It doesn’t do anything for you. So we basically overpaid for a few pieces of candy. When he told us to be extra careful because it was really potent, we really expected something amazing. Nada. Zip. And this was from a guy who says he smokes regularly, but edibles will get him. HUH!!! No way dude. One more star docked off for having weak plants and edibles.
Anyway, we ended up spending over $ 200 at this store (for 2 days worth of goodies) which is a lot. I also ended up buying my one and only souvenir from Denver, which was a piece that has «Native Roots Colorado» written on it. Love it.
If I was to ever come back to Denver, I probably wouldn’t revisit this place, only because of what happened in the waiting room, and because the potency level didn’t meet my expectations. So the 3 stars is for the great service we received inside. You want to get blown? Unless you’re a beginner smoker, this place won’t get you blown. NOT. AT. ALL.

1^st… Find a great Dispensary! Native Roots is clean and bright, not seedy at all. I love their logo/​theme/​wallpaper!
2^nd. Now find a great Dispensary with a charming Budtender. DONE! Twice!
I was only in Denver for a few short days. It’s very easy to walk or take the free mall bus to over 20 dispensaries in about a 4 mile radius. We probably visited at least 15.
Native Roots is awesome. They’re nice, they get just as happy as you are to be there. Most places I went to I just felt like another dumb tourist that was bothering someone w questions. You can’t be all happy happy joy joy in place that you can’t help but love when you have a Budtender that’s not just as excited for you and gets you even more excited about their beautiful legal world.
1^st time I went into Native Roots this guy helped me out. Very cool. Very helpful w products. Answered lots of good and goofy questions. Even told me what a Budtender has to do before they can even apply for a job. It was such a positive and fun experience I had to go back.
DESIRAEYay!!! She was our 2^nd Budtender there. And totally awesome!
Info was more than we asked and we bombarded her w questions left and right. But you could see her happiness with our questions. Which made me want to stay and look at more stuff and ask more questions. Which led me to buy more stuff. And they have the cool stuff! Ive used the phone popup thingy tons of times in the past few hrs to take pics. I do wish they would’ve had the vape pen with both the refillable oil cartridge and wax cartridge. I woulda picked that up quick! Just because of how cool it looks. And if they sold their wallpaper in wrapping paper I may have bought them out! All in all, the very best place in downtown Denver. Go there 1^st. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Desirae!

1^st time indulging and glad I chose this dispensary. Professional experience, friendly service and solid product– try Native Roots is you’re downtown and wishing for a classy approach.

This was my favorite dispensary of all that we visited. It was very nice, clean and the employees seemed the friendliest here as well.

Esther took great care of us. Letting us know what specials were going on and gave us the best of the best

I think Native Roots is doing a great job at this location. In fact, my hats off to them in setting the bar for Colorado dispensaries thus far. They’re definitely in the Top 3 of any Denver brands that I’ve been to as far as friendliness and ascetic go. This is obviously a new industry and it’s not always been easy to gauge the market demands, legalities, etc., but Native Roots has not just handled it well, but seemingly risen near the top in Colorado. Congrats on that.
–Level of service (overall): 8.5÷10
Budtender named John always provides ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Thank you, sir!

Not the best I’ve had around here, but better than most. That quality has been consistent. Recreational pricing seems to me to be overpriced by 15−20%, but that might be due to having such a prime tourist location. I reckon tourists account for more than 50% of Native Roots’ sales.
–Environment: ¹⁰⁄₁₀
(Cool, clean contemporary décor. Comfortable waiting area (usually a minimum of a 10-​min wait. I don’t typically mind because it gives me time to look over the menu and decide.))
Another plus is Doctor Day. Nearly every Saturday they offer a sit-​down with a physician for those customers seeking a medical card. During that application process, if you allocate Native Roots as your «primary caregiver», or whatever it’s called… the entity that grows your medical plants for you,…then they’ll credit you back $ 75 in store credit once your card arrives. They also offer several monthly perks once you’ve chosen them as your provider, like ‘But An Eighth, Get a Free Eighth’.
I’m always happy to post reviews for businesses that provide great product and service. Native Roots on Champa is one of those places. Thanks for going above and beyond.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Twenty minute wait just to get in the place. I tried on a Saturday at 1:45 in the afternoon and gave up.

I am so impressed with Native Roots. The lobby was bright and inviting and we were promptly greeted by a friendly fella who checked our ids. We were lucky to only have to wait about five minutes as there were only two people ahead in line. The lobby had about a dozen people waiting when we left so I’m sure the wait time was substantially longer by then. I thought their prices reasonable and I really appreciated being able to look at and smell the product. I will definitely return if I’m ever in the Denver area agsin.

Elite dispensary. Walked over from the hotel during Cup weekend, waited in the long line, and was not disappointed.
The first thing you notice is the super hip, urban aesthetic. Clean, cool, modern, and professional all at the same time. Very knowledgeable budtenders and a unique selection of Colorado favorites, in-​house varieties, and top shelf strains. Went in for the GRiZ Kush and was very happy with my purchase, which included some other exotic, connoisseur stuff. I appreciate that they’re vertical, and you can tell immediately with the quality of the flowers and concentrates. I really liked that despite the holiday weekend they were well stocked. A lot of other dispensaries I visited would sell you popcorn buds after showing you the top nugs — very misleading.
As an additional note, when I was in line I witnessed an elderly customer nearly faint and fall over. A budtender and manager came over to tend to him, phone ready to call for assistance. The older gentleman was provided with a chair and the situation was handled calmly and effectively.
A bit on the pricey side for rec but you certainly get at least what you’re paying for.

I was shocked at how crappy an experience this was. We had been to a Green Solutions a few days before and had the BEST time, so I was expecting a similar vibe.
Waited in a line out the door for 40 minutes, when we got in the selection of edibles wasn’t great and their prices were much higher than where we went the day prior. Also, the guy who was waiting on us was really rude, condescending and uninterested. Everyone around us seemed nice, so we just got unlucky. I wish I would have caught his name… he totally ruined the experience for us.

After waiting 45 minutes we finally got down into the building far enough to see an entry way door. It had a super trendy decore but, an underwhelming selection. We asked about strains that they had entered into the «cup» but, only 5 of the 12 entered strains were available in small amounts. Being that we can’t take it with us, it limited our selection even more. I also asked about some of their skin care products and they didn’t really know much or have any that I selected available. This was not our favorite place so far but, I did like their decore and branding!

LOVE LOVE LOOOVE this place! It was my first time here and I really like the way they did things. I hate waiting but once you get in the back and get your own sales rep basically it makes it worth the wait. When you first walk in it can be a little overwhelming just because there is so much to see but the staff was SO helpful and answered every single one of my questions. I will return here once I go back to Denver :)

Nice set up. Very organized and clean. Edibles take forever to kick in which will inspire you to take more. Don’t do it! I had 5 (50 mgs) and thought I might die. Haha.

First you’ll walk into an overcrowded, hot waiting room. Not a big deal they got us in within 10 minutes, this is a bad review due to the bud quality, hash quality, edible quality, and knowledge that the staff lacked. First off don’t bother going to this place unless you’ve never smoked weed before. I was recommended to take one 10 mg edible and wait an hour after telling them I was a seasoned smoker… I downed the whole 100mg in the tube and barely felt any effect.
After our one on one bud seller starts telling us how smart you have to be to work their I start asking him some questions about their concentrates. First off every time he opened one of them he would send part of the gram of hash flying across the room onto the floor and countertops… I know its only a very small amount, but he did it every single time he opened one. Not to mention none of the bud was fresh and none of the hash was fresh. It looked and tasted stale like it was months old.
I did not bring my dab rig on the 2000 mile journey to Denver so I decided to buy a small dry hash piece that you heat the end up, stick on the wax, and smoke. The guy that helped us literally told me to get it red hot and stick it right in the middle of the shatter… does your staff even do concentrates NATIVE ROOTS??? STUPID. He also tried explaining to me how THCA gets converted to THC. Which is an extremely simple thing to explain considering all you do is add heat to activate it. He tried to overelaborate on the process and just made himself sound like an idiot telling me that the shatter turns to «100% thc after it hits the nail»…no it turns to 75% thc cause thats how much THCA there is…
I’m sorry, but there are so many people dying to grow and work in bud shops and you take mediocre growers and even more mediocre sales people who know nothing about bud or concentrates? Gimme a break. Denver weed sucks go north.

Great selection inside one of the nicest dispensaries around. Everything you need from a quick pre-​made puff to edibles and oils. Welcoming and knowledgeable staff and a pay-​by-​debit option! Awesome place — 5-​stars!

Went in and the staff was very professional. Houdini took care of us and took the time to calmly explain all of the traits. We were looking for something to help out with my wife’s arthritis. Awesome first time experience !

This is the best place of its kind in Denver (in my opinion). The décor is cool and modern– see the wallpaper in the entrance. The place is clean and doesn’t feel like a grungy stoner type of place at all. The staff is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Try out the Snoop Dogg strain if it’s available while you’re there — it’s exclusive to them and is a nice hybrid. If you’re going to stop at a dispensary in Denver, make it Native Roots. You won’t regret it.

Friggin top notch, I refuse to spend my money at any other Denver dispensary.
The location is good, the goods are great, the atmosphere is grood and the tenders/​employees/​etc are what bring it full circle.
