The Green Solution has 17 cannabis shops in Colorado and plans to grow its business farther west with a new location in Glenwood Springs.<\/p>\n

Located at 51701 Highway 6 & 24, in the space formerly occupied by Vic\u2019s Route 6 Grillhouse, the Green Solution plans on opening its strictly recreational cannabis shop in West Glenwood Springs by late October.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks really like an Apple store,\u201d Green Solution CEO Steve Lopez said. \u201cNice, clean, no one has to be afraid of staying in the parking lot and getting a hippie vibe or any of the stoner stereotypes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 4,300-square-foot shop will offer flower, edibles, beverages, topicals and more. The vast majority of which the Green Solution cultivates out of its three indoor grow facilities in Denver as well as its 150-acre outdoor grow in Trinidad.<\/p>\n

According to Lopez, the Colorado-based, family-owned business employs approximately 700 people across its company and strives for a concierge approach when serving its patrons.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst we try to understand exactly what our client needs,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cWe have some folks that come in for pain relief. We have some folks \u2026 say they are going to a concert.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Green Solution breeds its own strains, which tailor to unique experiences such as live music or video games. Some of those strains include the sativa dominant Red Rocks Diesel for live shows and Player 1, a sativa intended for gamers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had gamers come in all of the time and say, \u2018Hey, we\u2019d love to have a strain for us,\u2019\u201d Lopez said of the impetus for growing Player 1. \u201cSo, we developed one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Green Solution\u2019s Rubicon strain was recognized as the best CBD flower in the 2016 High Times Colorado Cannabis Cup and in last year\u2019s Rooster Magazine THC Classic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we have a very large line of edibles,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cGummies, brownies, lollipops we really run the gamut on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the Green Solution\u2019s most popular beverages includes its 10mg THC infused root beer carbonated soda from NectarBee. The Green Solution also carries the dealcoholized, Belgian-style white ale cannabis beer Grainwave from Ceria Brewing Co., which was co founded by Blue Moon creator Keith Villa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of folks that come in for our topicals and that\u2019s like muscle balm, nerve salve,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cFolks that are using these lotions to relieve pain in their body.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Green Solution does not sell individual CBD products.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we do have some products that are like a five-to-one CBD versus THC,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cThe best effects that you have with CBD is actually when you also have THC in there. It\u2019s so low, the THC, that you don\u2019t feel it but it helps adhere to your body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopez said the Green Solution was looking forward to expanding its reach to the Western Slope and getting to know Glenwood Springs, specifically.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin any city that we come into we really get to know the regulations, the local government and really make sure that we are contributing to the community as well,\u201d Lopez said.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Glenwood Springs location, the Green Solution plans on opening a location in Aspen, too at 106 S Mill Street at a future date.<\/p>\n
