The Trinidad, CO Cannabis Travel Guide
LivWell Trinidad opened its doors in January of 2015. Located in beautiful and historic Trinidad at the newly renovated pharmacy drug store at The Riverside, we're excited to be Trinidad's go to dispensary, offering the largest selection of marijuana strains in the state that's sure to give you the best high every time.
It's money from those multimillion-acre grassland ventures that funded much of the beautiful architecture on display today downtown (the Trinidad dispensary ornate stone First National Bank Building being Trinidad's historical equivalent of The Mining Exchange in downtown Colorado Springs).
Yet Trinidad has not experienced any significant uptick in crime since legalization (with DUI arrests also down sharply in recent years), and Cordova says the transient issue is a small price to pay for all the good that marijuana has brought to the city.
In addition, dispensaries carry a variety of other cannabis products such as prefilled vape cartridges, concentrates such as waxes and oils, as well as a multitude of other cannabis products like lotions and tinctures. Days after the marshal was fired, the biggest crime story in town had nothing to do with ne'er-do-wells trying to bust into weed dispensaries.
As is the case with the majority of medical marijuana programs established throughout the county, residents of Colorado must meet with a physician who can determine their eligibility to enroll as a medical marijuana patient. Another worry for Trinidad - New Mexico's Legislature is pondering legalization of recreational marijuana with a bill introduced last month.
On a recent November morning, a steady stream of people made their way into the recreational dispensary run by Nature's Herbs and Wellness Center. The amount of recreational weed sold by Dinosaur's three shops is a whiff compared with Las Animas County , which includes the southern Colorado bordertown of Trinidad.
According to the state Marijuana Enforcement Division , there are two more licenses for dispensaries in Dinosaur, meaning a total of three pot shops could be open there in the near future. Nebraska's border counties and those along the Interstate 80 corridor spend an extra $10 million a year enforcing marijuana laws since Colorado opened its recreational stores, he found.
