Are you at least 21 years old with a valid ID? Are you interested in recreational cannabis shopping in the mountain town of Nederland? If you answered affirmatively to these questions, then continue reading to discover how you can keep it local and get a buzz!
For those new to the subject, marijuana is usually smoked in cigarettes (joints), pipes or water pipes (bongs), vaporized (vaped) or dabbed. Marijuana can be consumed in food or drink products called edibles. Topical products include salves, creams, or oils.
With marijuana strain names like Christmas Cookie, Snow Cap and Jack Frost, it is hard to deny the holiday appeal of the recreational cannabis market. Edibles like chocolate chip cookies, blondie brownies and ginger spice cookies would pair well with milk left for Santa.
The Flower Collective (TFC), located at 91 Big Springs Drive, is known for their witty slogans like “Solventless is more,” and “Ned has the best trees.” Although the business is not a retail shopping destination because it is not a dispensary, their products can be purchased through several recreational marijuana dispensaries, also known as “pot shops.” TFC is happily headquartered in Nederland, Colorado, drawn by its scenic mountains, active lifestyles, woodland wildlife, and mining history. So, they decided to mine some “nuggets” of their own!
TFC produces bubble hash which is a solventless concentrate of marijuana where the trichomes that contain THC are separated from the plant using ice, water and agitation. Intermixing the bubble hash with marijuana and rolling into either a joint or blunt creates their signature “bubble joints” and “bubble blunts.” They also produce pinner joints which are smaller joints sold in packs. Silver Stem, IgadI and Kind Castle carry their products if you are interested in sampling something made in Nederland.
