Review: The Bud

The Bud is located at 2500 broadway in Boulder and they are open from 11-7 M-F and 11-4 on Sat.


Quality: The buds at the Bud are of OK quality. Some were pretty good but they did not have one or two strains that knocked my socks off. The AK-47, maui and Blackberry Blue were all good but they were not top shelf meds. A little dry a little old and just not covered in trichomes. Some of them smelled OK, but when I am smelling a strain I don't care what it smells like as long as the smell is extremely strong and potent. Usually the buds have to be pretty fresh for this to occur. One very interesting thing they did have was preserved colas. They vaccum sealed jars with colas in them. You have to but the whole jar no exception and you can't open the jar until you buy it. The colas were very nice and some of them did have top shelf appeal.

Prices: The prices are a nice 15/g or their higher grade buds and the lower grade go for 12/g all in all very reasonable prices. The colas go for 16/g but you have to buy the whole thing, but I think they are worth it, considering how tough it is to purchase a cola at a dispensary.

Quantity: The Bud had 18 strains as they usually strive for 5 sativa, 5 indica and five crosses. Their buds are not only Colorado grown but most are from Boulder and the surrounding mountains. You can pretty much purchase any quantity but the prices are straight up the line.

Extras: Tinctures and edibles, including frozen ganja pizzas, can be purchased at the Bud. They also have some nice looking hash that ranges from $25-$35 per gram.

Overall: The Bud is a small operation and resembles many of the other dispensaries I have been to. The space reminds me of a chiropractors office in a good way and the folks that work there are very nice. They play good music and have some cool features like the cola jars. Overall this is not a bad place to check out, you never know what they might have and you do know it will cost $15/g.

Rating: The Bud gets 6.5 green thumbs.
