Colorado Springs is 60 miles south of Denver and home to five military bases including the US Air Force Academy. Conservative values run deep here and that has been reflected in the city's opposition to retail marijuana sales. Currently only medical marijuana card holders may purchase from the city's licensed medical dispensaries. Seizing the opportunity, nearby small-town Manitou Springs offers recreational marijuana products at two retail dispensaries.
