Marijuana Beverages:

Marijuana beverages are one of those must-try 420 novelty items every Denver traveler on a marijuana tour should experience. There are many brands to choose from, and varieties range from sodas to teas to punches and even coffees.

CannaPunch

One of our favorite brands is CannaPunch, a non-carbonated cannabis-infused beverage that comes in refreshingly fruity flavors like Watermelon Nectar and Juicy Grape. The punch is made with organic ingredients and is 100% vegan, making it a good choice for the health-conscious Denver 420 traveler. CannaPunch also makes a product called Mota Energy Citrus Blast, a citrus-flavored, cannabis-infused, caffeine enriched energy shot that will give you a heavy buzz without weighing you down. Many edibles make you drowsy, and these energy shots are a good alternative if you want to get a good high and also stay awake to enjoy it. You can pick up some CannaPunch at many Denver dispensaries such as Livwell.

Colorado-based company Keef Cola makes a wide range of edibles, but it's their sodas that have made them famous among Colorado pot enthusiasts and Denver marijuana tourism travelers alike.

Keef Cola is available at all Livwell locations including Livwell Broadway and Livwell Stapleton.

Other Marijuana Edibles to Try

Marijuana beverages are but one of many marijuana edibles products you can find at recreational dispensaries in Denver. There are also chocolates, gummies, pastries, granolas, snack mixes, cookies, candies, mints, and more—and we're just scratching the surface here. We'll cover some of those other edibles in future blog posts, but to really see what all is out there, you'll just have to travel to Denver, visit our dispensaries, and see for yourself. You'll likely say what many marijuana tourism seekers say when they first step into a well-stocked recreational dispensary: “I feel like a kid in a candy store!” When you see the countless sparkling jars of beautiful buds and the plethora of candies, marijuana beverages, and other incredible edibles, you'll know exactly what they mean.

Where to Smoke Weed in Denver : Tips for the marijuana tourist

While marijuana possession is legal in Colorado, public consumption remains illegal, with violators risking tickets, fines, and having their weed confiscated. The good news is there are indeed places to smoke weed in Denver, if you know where to go, and/or you know how to be discreet and polite. Basically the word on the street is that if there's no one around to see you, you should be relatively safe. While you probably don't want to risk toking up a joint in the middle of a busy city street, if you find a little dark corner somewhere or a hidden alcove amid some trees, or a deserted sidewalk to stroll along, as long as you're discreet and keep an eye out, you should have little to worry about. Civic Center Park is a hub for a lot harder drugs than weed, so unless it's the 420 festival, it's usually not the ideal place to blaze up in the city. Wander instead on less populated streets, explore the less popular parks, stroll through the residential areas, or take a walk down by the river, and you'll be able to find plenty of discreet spots in which to enjoy some time away from the crowds. Pre-rolled joints which can be purchased at any recreational marijuana dispensary are a nice choice for travelers to Denver due to their unbeatable convenience, portability, and cigarette-like appearance. There's always the option of vaporizers or edibles, too, as these are virtually undetectable and can be consumed virtually anywhere without drawing too much attention.

If you prefer not to lurk in the shadows, go to iBake, a private cannabis club that offers a safe place to smoke weed in Denver. They don't sell marijuana so you'll have to stop by one of the area's many recreational dispensaries before you go, but they do offer typical head shop fare like pipes, bongs, and vaporizers.

While it's technically illegal, many bars downtown do seem to tolerate smoking on their outdoor patios, as long as patrons are discreet. The bars can't openly admit that they allow it, however, so don't create an awkward moment by asking about it. It all depends on the crowd and the place, so poke around until you smell the sweet smoke, then you'll know you're most likely in a safe space that's 420 friendly. If you want to get to know some friendly locals who might have further advice on where to smoke, where to stay, where to shop, or what to do for fun while you're traveling in Denver, both Sancho's Broken Arrow and Funky Buddha are downtown Denver bars known for their chill crowds and laid back vibes.

When you travel to Denver, you'll find that this town is whatever you make of it. Denver is a great 420 destination for the ultimate marijuana tourism adventure, but it's a lot of other things, too. Whether you're traveling with children and looking for family fun, traveling with friends and looking for a party, or traveling alone and looking for peace and solace, there is truly something for everybody in the Denver area. Whether you want to explore a museum, visit an amusement park, lounge at a coffeehouse, or dine at a great restaurant, you'll find plenty of options. If you want to get out in nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery, it's just about everywhere you look. And if you want to experience Colorado while high on some of the finest weed our country has to offer, you'll know that smile on your face is fully legal.
