Lightshade Rec & Med Dispensary

Popcorn jumped from around $63 out the door to $75 out the door, bud tender assures me im wrong and it's always been like this, I wouldn't have bought popcorn for $75 an ounce and I certainly wouldn't bother wasting my time coming back to somewhere that it runs for that. Prices are prices being ignorant to your product or just blatantly lying to customers is unacceptable. As a side note, the front desk girl and the ladies who retrieve the product are always perfectly pleasent, just terrible bud tenders. – Alec Stone

There are many dispensaries to choose from in a very small area, but light shade on federal and 94th is awesome. They’re friendly. They’re polite their courteous and it makes you wanna work there Dom did me right found just what I was looking for. Thank you – Fred Gonzales

The prices and product selection is pretty good, the service is pretty standard, but the online ordering/pick up needs a lot of work. I’m not sure what the point of having online ordering if you still have to go through the same process as in house shoppers. Still wait for a budtender, go to the counter to check out, then go to the pick up counter. Having to wait 10 mins for a pick up order seems a little excessive when I’ve been texted it’s ready for pickup, I don’t understand why offer it if there isn’t a pick up line/counter specifically I’ve had this experience more times than not visiting this store – Traci Bennett

Unfortunately this dispensary has gone downhill on multiple levels: I've been going here since they opened up, and they literally deleted my account, along with all my points which I wasn't able to use, due to new owners. Who does that? Big mistake. I was receiving senior discounts for the past 4-1/2 years since I turned 60, and I was told that senior discounts are no longer given here till age 65 due to new owners, despite every other business and the State of Colorado and the City recognizes age 60 as seniors. This just screams the culture of greed here. The tender was rude, inattentive and impatient with me. The music was way too loud, I couldn't hear anybody, let alone here myself think about making purchase decisions, why do they think that's cool? It's mind control and a dark spell over everyone. It's a storefront, for business, loud music, is a hindrance to understanding tenders, doing business, its a foolish business plan, and for that reason, I will avoid going here again for at least 6 months when I turn 65, I'll check in to see if they improved, because they have taken a wrong turn, business-wise. Here are my other reasons: I came in to get a vape pen, brought my old one asked if they can unscrew it, the tender was irritable, had little patience with me, and said, no, its probably stuck because of resin, heated up, yeah, I know that, but I asked to unscrew it, she refused to help, despite the pen saying LIGHTSHADE all over it. The old owners would have helped me. These new people couldn't care less. I ended up having to buy 2 new batteries, that no longer come with charging cords. Then I asked about discount Thursday on cartridges, she said, yes, but when I got home looked at my receipt there were no discounts, I called up, spoke to manager Mikki who added it to my account for the future. I was very disappointed with my shopping experience at this old favorite dispensary which has gone rogue and now they're rude to seniors, have no patience for questions, promise discounts but deny them at purchase, it's a mess and whoever took over this dispensary has made some really foolish decisions. Loud music that is harsh, angry and aggressive isn't going to boost sales. Cannabis sells itself, but what used to be a friendly neighborhood dispensary has now turned into a negative culture of greed and rudeness. This group should and can do much better, it was fine the way it was. Raising prices isn't exactly a good business plan either these days. Dispensaries in Colorado are a dime a dozen, those of us, who are used to friendly service with integrity, will simply go elsewhere. Starbuds down the block still honors senior discounts. And they turn down the music when asked. Lightshade has become a stressful shopping experience. – Rocky MountainHI

Gave 2 stars cause customer service is awesome but I threw the flower I bought a couple days ago in trash. I could not smoke it cause it has a weird smell and taste that I believe to be mold. I did not smell in store cause wearing a mask. More expensive than competitors near by from what I seen. – Robert Garcia
