Granddaddy Purple:
Typically, Grandaddy Purp is a smooth energetic strain. I'm definitely getting the same effect in general I think.
I am getting dry mouth, but actually in Colorado, I don't consider that to be a bad thing. I'm not a big water drinker. I generally prefer soda or tea, both of which have caffeine, which actually has a dehydrating effect. With dry mouth, I really want water above all else, nothing else satisfies it.
At our high altitude, air is thin and the body has to be more efficient with it and needs to stay hydrated to do so. Also, staying hydrated helps the body get rid of more toxins. I read a study where they found that over 60% of Coloradans (I seem to remember a number like 84%) are dehydrated or borderline dehydrated. Just don't quote me on the 84%. It is especially important for those with disabling conditions to stay well hydrated so your body can operate more efficiently. So what others might view as a negative side effect actually switches dry mouth from the Con to Pro side of the debate imho.
Fair amount of energy. I'm definitely getting that "Get your Lazy Ass out of the chair and do something" aura. I totally see some serious vacuuming in my near future.
Fog in the brain. Wow, I'm feeling good energy in my brain but my thoughts are fogged up and easily..."SQUIRREL". Even my vision is a little ADD. So if you have a project you need to devote your time to, avoid this strain. On the other hand, if its chore day, toke up and be randomly productive around the house.since you may feel like getting some stuff done, but in a very "oh, look at that clutter; I totally didn't notice it before" way.
Good problem solving if you can stay focused on it. If you happen to get distracted doing one thing and sidetracking to something else entirely, you'll notice the first thing later, laugh at how easily your're getting off on tangents and finish up, no big deal. Have something laying around hadn't figured out what to do with it or where to put it? Say hello creative problem solving!
Don't recommend real cooking. That's one project that could end up with dangerous consequences. You may forget the stove is on or something. So I recommend limiting yourself to ready-to-eat foods or having food delivered.
The Green House:
Jordyn was very nice and welcoming, but the dude in charge (I didn't get a name) merely tolerated my presence. His customer service attitude was very superficial. Maybe needs to work on whatever is making him edgy (paranoia, impatience, greater than thou attitude, whatever).
Their location is near Old Colorado City, so they only have off-street parking. That isn't a big deal to me, but someone more disabled who has mobility issues might see this as important information before making the trip. Also their building is not wheelchair accessible. They would need to widen the interior doorways and hall. It's one of the older victorian houses, so neat building, but in the manner of victorian houses, small halls and doorways, so not really their fault. Maybe that something they have planned for a future project.
The dude did the weighing and took what felt like forever getting the weight right. Five minutes of weighing is too long, especially since they had two other customers (couple of friends seemed like) waiting for me to get out of their way. I don't begrudge him the right to muddle with it a bit until the numbers come out right, but after a couple of minutes, just give up and let the patient be on their way. I was having a little back pain and ended up feeling very impatient. Not a plus peoples. Could even be dangerous with a patient suffering from PTSD who reminds me of The Hulk.
They take credit cards, so that's a definite plus.
Also, with a $75 purchase, you get a $1 gram. That's a nice thing for someone who maybe wants to try something new, but doesn't doesn't want to invest in a large quantity yet. Also smart of the dispensary, because if you like whatever gram you tried, you'll be more likely to come back and get more of that strain in a large amount. Many dispensaries give free prerolls, but they taste kind of shake-y to me in general and I prefer the bud from the jar.
Overall, I think its just a matter of weighing the quality of their product against the dispensary's location and hit or miss customer service. Not place for those with anger management issues.

I'm a comparison shopper and love a deal, so I may put sale/coupon/discount offers or links to companies I patronize and want to share the info. No hard sell here, just useful consumer info. :-)
