Discover cannabis culture in Pueblo West, CO

Pueblo West is (unsurprisingly) located just west of the city of Pueblo in southern Colorado. This recently developed area is an expansive planned community just 8 miles away from downtown Pueblo. While many might just view Pueblo West as an extension of Pueblo, there is certainly plenty to do in town and nearby. A growing civic center hosts several restaurants and shops, and the community is just north of Lake Pueblo State Park. The community has gorgeous views of Pikes Peak and the Spanish Peaks, and you’ll find plenty of planned parks and play areas in town for the family. Furthermore, the town is home to a growing number of cannabis dispensaries to help make your cannabis needs fulfilled.

Colorado has become a cannabis capital in its own right, with medical marijuana legalization in 2000 setting the foundation for a huge industry. Once the recreational marijuana market opened in 2014, the state hasn’t turned back. Although some communities have chosen to close their doors to dispensaries, Pueblo and Pueblo West have welcomed them with open arms. The area saw a huge rush of people moving in after legalization and has continued to grow since. Pueblo West is home to 13 dispensaries alone, and the number may keep climbing over time. The city’s dispensaries are able to be open between 8 AM and 11 PM, but be sure to check your dispensary’s website before going.
