Best flower I've found out of dozens of stores in a half dozen states. I've been in a couple times and they've always had a large selection--including buds testing over 30% that were bursting with amber, white, and prominent icy clear trichomes. They don't overcharge either, so I will continue to shop at Good Chemistry.

I had to make a follow up comment since my experience was similar to, and magnified through another individual's. Their comments solodified my original position. My initial purchase at this establishment was 3 different 1/8ths. As I had stated previously, each jar was significantly short approx. 10%. In conclusion, I'd like to make three important points. Firstly, another customer had a similar experience which helps to validate my initial claim. Secondly, an experienced bud-tender should be able to approximate/"feel-out" a mass of 3.5g and should be able to discern when a quantity is substantially short, despite the texture or strain of the flower. And, lastly I think the cookie-cutter response to the reviews is lazy, doesn't validate your clienteles' claims, and does a general disservice to your future customers.

Another Dispensary that just came out of random to check out on my 2 month summer tour of Colorado State, was Good Chemistry on 330 E Colfax in Downtown Denver. It is a superior experience from the time walking in, until you leave. The Quality always holds high standards on their products, as well as the cleanliness of the shop and the orginization. The people who do work here seem to rush you little. To me, this isn't hard for me to accept and deal with, however some others who need to ask questions or figure out what the best thing(s) to get, may not find it as easy or capable of dealing with. The atmosphere always has a happy, and relaxed buzz as public traffic comes in and out.
Prices are the best here that I've seen for most of the flower/bud. A general amount of the time, full ounces run for about $90, which is super great, especially if you are on that slim budget. I definitely recommend everyone to this dispensary for a great amount of reasons. Good Chemistry is number 5 of 10 for my favorite dispensaries in Downtown Denver

Good Chemistry is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall place, hard to find if you are just driving down Colfax - turn your head to look up at the Cathedral, and you'll probably miss it.
But when you do find it, what wonders are in store!
The location is somewhat small and cramped, with a classic row of old theatre seats to sit on in the closet-sized the waiting area. Once you are let into the main room, again tiny, it reminds one of a very small cramped pub or bar, with room for about 10 people, standing-room-only.
But once you get past that, the flower and staff are wonderful here! The pricing is also lower than comparable quality dispensaries in the downtown central business district. Some charge upwards of $60 for a 1/8th; Good Chemistry is leading the price wars at $35/8th plus tax (walk out the door for under $40).
Their selection is somewhat more limited than some of the other places, but often they often have about 10 strains on sale for recreational. Their edibles selection is also top notch, and reasonably priced. Ah, how I miss the 100mg chocolate bites for $12.. If only I qualified for a medical card, I'd go for edibles more often as they are often very expensive otherwise.
In short: small shop, great bud, exceptional staff! Well worth the 5 minute walk from the 16th street mall!

I agree with ReversereenignE. Visited a week ago and bought an ounce of Blue Widow. The budtender brought out the once in 8ths packaging.
Decent flower but why is it that the weights are ALWAYS short and to their favor? I have a gram scale that is checked each time and the "ounce" was short by 2 grams total! No reason for this other than greed in my book.

The product and service is outstanding. Definitely a cut above the rest and prices are competitive. Don't waste time, gas, and money anywhere else.

My first visit out to Denver and this was exactly what I was hoping for.
The clerks were very helpful and eager to explain to me and my girlfriend the differences between all the strains. The eighth of Lemon Skunk we got was incredible and bountiful. The fact that our clerk persuaded us to get a $12 joint rather than a $15 gram solidified my love for this place, along with the great playlist in the background. I will be telling everyone I know about this dispensary, and definitely plan to make this my first stop every time I'm in Denver.

I'm an out of towner but I visited this Dispensary on the last day of my visit. It has a super cool vibe with these giant screens displaying the menu. There were some great strains to choose from and I got the 7 gram sampler deal. The service definitely wasn't bad, but my budtender seemed a little disinterested and didn't offer much insight on the strains he was suggesting. The mood of the staff seemed less energetic and happy as most other places. But still it was a nice place to buy bud.

Nice staff, Clean place. But hardly and recreational flower or anything to choose from. It had only one strain that recreational users could buy. Not quite the variety I was looking for- but the friendly staff makes up for it I guess.

Best for price and quality by far that I've seen yet as a visitor twice a year for2 years. I've been toking since 1965 so I know good weed and their growers do an outstanding job.
With regard to there level of service you do need to consider they get busy but that happens when yo are one of the best in town. If you think this is bad try one of the take a number and buy prepackaged you can't even smell type dispensaries.
I find the gal budtender to be quite responsive to my inquiries and very helpful. She was also quite charming and dressed in 1960s Haight Ashbury typical garb which made me smile. But she had the look working and the store has the bud working too.
It also made me giggle that it is located almost next door to the state capital building :)
To sum up - THE BEST !!!

tl;dr From one of the best price/quality balances in Denver to one of the worst. Deals confirmed by phone don't necessarily exist. Owner lies about information verifiable to any cannabis consumer in the city. Don't waste your time.
Everyone jacked prices on flower at the beginning of the pandemic, but most places have come down. I started coming in 2019 when this place was at 90/oz. That was an unparalleled deal then, for the quality. Now they're still trying to charge $150 (pretax) for preweigh eighths that you can't inspect, compared to 90 for about the same quality at The Health Center.
I thought they still had a good deal on cartridge refills, so I called ahead to confirm and was told yes, still 8g for 120. When I got there, I was told that was for wax and the refill syringes were 160. Even their ATM fee was septupled from less than a year ago. Idk if it was sold to a greedy corporate chain or what, but I'm done here unless there's a great deal IN PRINT.
On Google, the owner posted a response to someone who hadn't had the pleasure of calculating Colorado pot tax in his head. "Colorado law allows us only to advertise pre-tax pricing". THIS IS A LIE. Check any Westword and half of the pot ads advertise "OTD" (out the door) pricing, as they have done for years. From two to one stars you go.
I'm sad to have had to edit a 5-star review from a couple years ago. To any frontline employees reading this, I'm sorry, everyone I've actually interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and with the one exception, knowledgeable. You can only do what the capital owners allow...

This is the best dispensary. They have hands down some of the best flower around, large selection, at great prices, especially if you buy an ounce which you can mix and match strains. They also have a large selection of fairly priced high quality concentrates and edibles. The customer service is great. 5 stars all around.

First time buying recreational in Denver. Pleasant experience. Greeted by friendly staff before being allowed to the back. The atmosphere was laid back but at a pretty constant pace. Our answers were answered by a knowledgeable associate. She recommended us a few strains, we walked outta there and right onto a higher cloud!

The people here are very friendly and helpful. I've been to a few other dispensaries that had attitude when I would make a purchase. "Oh you're not a member well that will cost you more." This place however never treated me poorly even when I was purchasing recreational. The prices I feel are the best in Denver. The quality is above par. I am now a member and happy.

So I came in after spending the day in denver, this is a small place, almost didn't see it walking by. The area is a little bit unnerving if you're not used to big cities. But inside it was pleasant but bordered on chaotic with people coming and going. This is both a recreational and medical dispensary. They had a good selection, around 20 strains total and a lot of edibles. As a first timer I got member medical pricing which was great -I got out the door with a little over 1/8th and a preroll for $30~. They had unique strains, though I did not feel relaxed enough to chat with whoever is serving me about strains however, I did know what I wanted thanks to Leafly. Inside everyone is quite friendly, lots of Leafly ads, and music. Everyone looks very normal inside. I would likely return for the product they offered which was extremely good -super sticky. Everything does come pre-measured, pre-weighed, pre-labelled and pre-packaged in white pill bottles.

Good prices on concentrates, sometimes lacking on variety. Quality flower at reasonable prices. Definetly one of my "go to" spots.

I have been going to this place for a couple of years now and the quality and price of the buds keep me coming back. Always a great cure and the staff is always as helpful as they are beautiful! Thanks good chem!

Great place in a super convenient spot.

This is my usual shop and generally I'm very pleased. However, they just sold me a prerolled joint that would not burn. When I called and explained the problem they basically told me tough luck, figure it out yourself. I will go back, but if it happens again I will be wildly pissed off.

Quality Buds- check, Knowledgeable staff- check, Fair pricing- check. This place is literally perfect and my favorite dispensary. I love the staff there by the way.
