How and when did your dispensary start up?
Chronic Therapy began with two brothers and a family friend, searching for ideas and actions to help a family member suffering from cancer. Starting from growing in garages and draining bank accounts, the desire to help others grew more and more until Chronic Therapy became active in 2010. In July 2013, Chronic Therapy opened as a recreational dispensary in Wheat Ridge.
What does your dispensary offer patients that they can’t find anywhere else?
Chronic Therapy is 100 percent original, for we grow all of our own strains, on site. One in particular, is called Night Berries; which was created by Chronic Therapy growers and will not be found anywhere else. It is an indica/hybrid cross between Nightmare OG and Blackberry Kush.
How has the cannabis industry changed since you have been in the business?
The cannabis industry has grown exponentially as far as knowledge in the flower, concentrate and edible industry, as well as the MED compliance laws. A lot of changes have been beneficial to our company; now that we have a MIP (Marijuana Infused Product) Lab and produce all of our own concentrates.
What are the biggest challenges you face in this industry as a dispensary? Biggest joys?
The biggest challenges we face are the regulations concerning banking and being a cash only business.
The biggest joys are our customers, whether they are looking for something medical to help them with an ailment of some sort or they are just looking for some top-quality cannabis, they are the reason we are here and they brighten up every day in the dispensary.
What is the one thing you want patients to know about your dispensary?
It is important to know that we carry a wide variety of CBD products; and we also grow a CBD strain called HarleSin.
If someone wanted to open a dispensary and get their feet wet in the industry, what advice or counsel would you give them?
Take care of your customers, and they will take care of you.
What is the most important thing you hope to accomplish while in the MJ/MMJ community?
The most important thing that myself, along with the entire Chronic Therapy crew, thrive to do every day that we show up to work, is help others in any and every way that we can. There is no better feeling than helping an individual in dire need of a natural alternative. From THC and CBD flowers to edibles to oils, countless pharmaceutical users have switched to cannabis as their primary medicine. Therefore, our eternal goal is to continue to help those in need of an alternate medicine, while in the MJ/MMJ Community.
