So I've been Weed Mapping my way around Colorado, for the past eight months, trying to find the best bud. I have found lots of super dank bud in Denver and some pretty decent stuff in Colorado Springs. And during nearly a year of being a patient at A Cut Above they have made lots of small improvements to the center but they have consistently delivered the BEST quality in Colorado Springs. They now have a sign at the mini mall entrance making it easier to find them (next to Louie's pizza and Fastenal). Their freshly resurfaced and painted parking lot also makes parking a whole lot easier now. They have a nice waiting area that with leather sofas, a flat screen t.v. (remote at your disposal)on the wall, water dispenser and fresh cookies and fruit daily. In the back they have a variety of clones, hash and the best organic and hydro flowers. Member prices makes getting dank bud easy even on those cash strapped days. And they always have great sales. The ladies that work there are extremely sweet, professional and knowledgeable of their products. So that is why they remain my favorite place to be a patient. You guys still top my list, keep up the good work! So here's my recap: Bud Quality: 5 they have the best Organic and Hydro. Lots of strains to choose from. Atmosphere : 5 they have lots of amenities available as you wait and the decor is nice Staff : 5 the ladies are super friendly and knowledgeable Parking : 5 resurfaced and painted and the mini mall has plenty of parking Price : 5 they have eighths running from $30-$50 and always awesome sales. Now comes the fun stuff.. Killer Queen Smell Test: When I opened the jar a nice skunky odor filled the room. As I smell longer, a woody aroma begins to come forward. Followed by a feint sweet smell which I’m having a hard time describing. This flower is truly unique. Sight Test: The buds are cured to perfection. With nearly all the sugar leaves removed these buds showcase all of their beautiful calyxes and buds perfectly. She is a light shade of green which is hard to make out because of all the trichomes. She has short reddish brown hairs. And at a closer look under the microscope I can see that all the trichomes are huge. Long and leaning over, they are all milky white with some amber heads spread throughout the forest of trichomes Pinch Test: When you pick up a nug and pinch down you can feel the perfect cure. It’s dry enough that the trichomes are falling off. Yet you feel her give in your fingers. She sponges back to her full shape fairly quickly, minus a few trichomes. And the stems give to about forty-five degrees before you can hear the snap. Taste Test: Upon inhale the smoke smoothly rolls over your tongue and you can immediately taste a skunky pine flavor. The exhale is clean with a slight taste of woody skunk. Delicious. Brain Test: I packed .25 grams in the Blue Dot and took a rip. I was able to fill my lungs completely and get a huge rip while only killing half the bowl. Second hit and I got it filled up about 75% of my lung capacity. I held it in so long I blew no smoke again. The smoke is smooth and clean and when you cash the bowl the ashes turn clean white. Its effects are felt immediately and it is very cerebral and energetic. Making this sativa great for anxiety, ADD/ADHD and mild pain relief.

I just got paid and thought I'd stop by a different dispensary and give them a try. I read all the good and bad reviews and from the sounds of the place it was a must to visit. I came in around noon, there seemed to be 2 guys working there, and I was helped immediately.The place was HUGE, very clean and nice. I filled out the paperwork and was quickly let in the back. The guy in the back (Eric I think) knew his stuff and was very helpful in assisting in my decision. I picked from the green bracket( Top Shelf)a half 8th of NY Diesel $30.64 w/ tax. And the guy made sure it weighed 2g b/c it was my first visit. Nice touch, I thought. There was a great assortment of strains and they all smelled good. A nice variety of edibles and concentrates. There were clones available of Jah Kush (which they had product of in the green bracket) and some others that they didn't have product of. I checked out and went home. The only thing I dislike is the fact that I missed the place b/c there was no sign, hence the review name. But being that it was the only place in the area that didn't have a sign. I probably should have figured out that the place selling cannabis may want to remain discreet. So when I got home I loaded up the 3ft Medicali and took a nice big rip. I immediately felt the diesel and my body rejected the smoke. After coughing violently for a second I regained my breathe and decided to go for another rip. Smaller so I could hold the hit. Still unable to hold the hit for very long, damn the diesel! I had a nice mild head buzz with a good energetic feeling that lasted about an hour for me. Rolled a joint later that was much easier on the lungs. For the price it could have been a little better but they are very competitive from what I've seen in the Springs so far. Nice place overall. So a recap. Bud Quality: great looking, feeling and tasting. Effects didn't last long enough and price could be a little better Atmosphere: Great interior, very clean and classy Staff: Both guys were friendly and helpful Convenience: passed the place and had to locate the place by the address on the weedmap app Price: a little steep for my opinion, but there are lots of ppl that disagree with this - Rich P.S. I posted some pics of the buds in my photos.

I stopped into Canna Mart a couple months ago before I was a member of weedmaps and before I had the app for my i-phone. I was on my way to a ski resort and needed meds for the day. I googled MMJ dispensaries that I could find on the way, only Canna Mart came up as on my route to the mountains. I stopped in, the waiting area was nice, the lady at the desk ( who is a hottie but seemed snotty) quickly helped me w/ my paperwork and I was in the back to get my meds in no time. There was a nice selection of buds labeled by type ( indica, sativa, hybrids listed percentages of each type contained) and grow method ( soil or hydro). The gentleman behind the counter was helpful and knew his stuff. I normally go for hydro but their hydro didn't seem any better than the organic. I left with an 8th of organic buds, half Purple Urkle, half Dragon's Breath. I was pleased with the taste and effects. So far the best organic I've had in CO. They also had a large assortment of edibles (Ice cream and Oreos!!), tinctures, drinks. All in all a great place. The price isn't super friendly if you aren't a patient but it isn't more than most other places and their quality is definitely up to par.I definitely recommend them if you are in the area.

This is the first review I'm writing, b/c I've finally found a dispensary worth writing about here in Colorado Springs. I first started smoking in 1994 when I lived in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Since moving back to the USA I have struggled to find MJ in the same quality I was accustomed to. Until a card holding friend recommended A Cut Above. After visiting a few times and trying several of their strains, I made them my caregiver (their generous discount makes the top shelf much more friendly on the wallet). I've had a hard time finding hydro in this town and A Cut Above delivers. Their hash is killer and the edibles I've tried had effects lasting around 2 hours. The ladies are as friendly as they are beautiful and they have yet to give me a false description of the effects of each strain. The outside is a little intimidating and location is kind of hard to find if you aren't familiar with the area (call they'll give you directions). Once you come in everything is clean and nice the waiting are has a nice feel. The only thing that I can say is that the prices could be a little kinder but then again the quality is worth it. All in all a great place to be a patient and the only place that I've found that has MJ that reminds me of Amsterdam. I love this place and have several pics of their beautiful buds in my photos, check out my profile. Als het geen hydro is rook ik het niet...
