This review is for the middle-aged frumpsters (like me). we may have partaken back when music was great (clapton, the eagles, yes, CSNY, Fleetwood Mac Rumors) but may have moved on to other adult things: kids, careers, and on to caretaking for our parents. well, now it's time to relax, enjoy life, have fun!
so cannabis is legal. thought i'd give it a try. glad i did. But walking into a dispensary was a daunting thought. me in a "head shop?" i put it off for 2 years!
i want to say that the herbal alternative made it easy and fun. the bud tender was new (had been there about a week) and was professional, helpful, answered all of my "dumb" questions. i didn't feel like a fish out of water and i learned so much about all the options (oil, wax, electronic diffusers). i can't believe how many strains there are and the effects it might have!
i got the twofer tuesday special and went old school with a glass pipe. i got the Indica strains Heavy Duty Fruity (lemony) and O.J. - two of the most mellow. THA helped me know exactly what I was getting!
i forgot to ask one question. Is O.J. named after O.J. Simpson? cue: really slow car chase on the LA freeway circa 1995! i recommend an hour or two of Greensky Bluegrass on spotify with O.J.
anyways, justvwanted to encourage my generation to jump on the bandwagon if you have been hankering to do so and DEFINITELY go to The Herbal Alternative! it's fun! gone are the days of crashing head rushes, lids and narcs.

The Herbal Alternative is a great dispensary. It feels like you're going to a space-age dentist - but in the best possible way. The facility is completely new. The waiting room is clean and amazing. The staff is energetic and helpful. I was really impressed by the bright, clean awesomeness of the place. They are the first dispensary in my area to use Leafly, showing a technical and forward thinking bent.
Overall, I was very impressed by the facilities and the knowledgeable staff and the great descriptions of their strains on Leafly. They even add in their local strains with good descriptions.
Five stars.

I was a member at another dispensary in town but switched to The Herbal Alternative after they opened up. Even though I wasn't necessarily unhappy with my other place, THA had better meds with a much larger selection. They also carry the RemPen cartridges which are so convenient. Overall, this is the best dispensary in Cortez and I would recommend a visit if you're in the 4 Corners area.

I was very impressed with the atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and overall friendliness. There was nothing intimidating about the experience. The sales lady (bud-tender to some) was so patient and explained so much that us newbies needed to know.
If you have time, take the 2:00 PM tour and see for yourself how your product is created.
I intend to be a repeat customer.

Awesome dispense. All the employees have great customer service and great quality marijuana. I would say The Herbal Alternative is one of the best in Colorado.

The staff is very knowledgeable! The location is GREAT! The product is grown in their own shop! For what quality I am receiving the prices are fantastic! Hands down the best dispensary in the four corners!

Not the cheapest in town but by far the most educated, best product and great staff. Hash is done in house and better than anyone else's locally.

On-site growers. Friendly, helpful budtenders. Quality flowers. Took our purchases back to the 420-friendly Cozy Inn to enjoy in our room. Went back later in our trip for more, and a tour. Take a camera for that. Thank you Colorado.
