Doing everything well
I recently added KPM to my list of go-to dispensaries after a very successful first visit. The shop is a nice comfortable environment in a convenient location (++ extra credit for running a evap cooler in summer and not AC). They normally have about 15-20 strains on tap, plus concentrates, edibles, etc. I have tried six of their strains and enjoyed all of them. Potency and overall quality ranges from mid- to high- on average, but I give five stars for value. If you shop the deals here, value is excellent, but tbh the standard retail prices are quite solid for dispensaries in the Denver area. Stand-out strains include Sequoia Strawberry (calmer version of White Widow), TSD (complex sativa effects w/no downside), Watermelon Big Bud (smooth couch lock), and Hells Angel OG (relaxing daytime/nighttime). Strains appear to rotate fairly steadily, as there were familiar and new ones on my second visit. Last but not least, KPM staff is tops - friendly, informative, and professional in every way. Hoping to see an Island Sweet Skunk pop up on the menu ; )

CPM still doing it right
Great product, cool staff, easy access. I've had some stand-out strains here, most recently the Jilly Bean.

5 stars and a new caregiver
I am so glad I stopped at CPM today t their new location on West Colfax. First I would like to praise their location - the exterior of the CPM shop is clean, convenient, well marked but not super-conspicuous, with easy access and parking. This put me in a happy place from the start.
I walked in and was greeted by pleasant staff at the front desk. Initial paperwork was quick and painless. The entry area is spacious with plenty of natural light. Very soon I was called over to a private med selection room by my budtender, Alex. I love the way CPM has set up their med selection in the private rooms. It is a sit-down affair, and the patient is encouraged to take sufficient time to explore the variety of CPM products. All the products - flowers, concentrates, edibles, beverages - are laid out for easy viewing. I was buying flowers today, so I lingered over the day's selection of strains (twelve, I think) for about ten minutes with no pressure from Alex at all. He answered my questions quickly, informatively, and in hindsight, accurately. The flowers were, without exception, very aromatic and beautifully haired, in the middle ground between fluffy and dense.
I bought some Matanuska TF (70s/30i), Kosher Kush (60s/40i) and The Hog (i). Had a taste of the MTF before writing this, and the effects have been quite nice, and just about as my budtender described. Across the three strains, the nugs are cured to perfection, as far as my preferences go. If I pinch a bud, it gives a little between my fingers but is not spongy or crisp. Just about perfect for a 2-week shelf life, I'd say, given the way I handle/consume my stash.
In the end, I was so impressed with the Compassionate Pain Management experience, I decided to switch caregivers on the spot. This is a first for me but I had no doubt their products would satisfy when I got back home, and I was correct. As well, CPM offers some attractive benefits to their patients - look into their caregiver program. The friendly people at the front desk helped me with my changeover paperwork, and did not grow impatient when I made a mistake, taking everything in stride while fielding phone calls and other customers.
As I was finishing my caregiver change, some CPM frequent-flyers showed up, an older couple, and the reception women greeted them by name. As they entered a selection room, I could hear the budtender already knew what they liked and was prepared to help them make decisions. At that moment I knew I made the right decision to adopt CPM as my new caregiver.

Tasty flowers
I am an old school flower-power guy - with the exception of the occasional kief or bubble hash purchase, I never buy concentrates. Don't ask me why. I just don't.
I've been buying flowers from RMOM since 2010, at a rate of a couple times a year. I've seen the business evolve in a number of positive ways over time, and experience a few hiccups along the way. Nonetheless, one thing has remained consistent - the high quality of RMOM flowers. I think a fresh RMOM bud competes with just about anything I have consumed recently. I just smoked a little of the Green Crack in a bubbler, and I suspect it was as smooth and flavorful as the namesake bud Snoop originally lit up...maybe better. This is top-notch flower. Yesterday I consumed some ChemDawg, a sativa-leaning hybrid that was also excellent. I am willing to attribute the consistent quality to ROM's organic soil growing methods, but one way or the other, RMOM is delivering some stellar bud. Please bring back the superb ISS...

Excellent organic meds
I've been a customer of RMOM for about three years. They consistently deliver a fine organic medicinal product. There are 2-3 strains that I prefer to buy from RMOM because they are best I can get in my region. Maybe it's the organic growing.
The dispensary itself is a fairly basic setup, not trying to be fancy. The new location is more discrete, has lots of natural light, and I would say is an all-around improvement from their previous biz park location. You may want to bring a Google map print-out to find it the first time. The new location is not far from Indiana St. and Hwy. 6, but might be tricky for first-timers to locate. The dispensary is hard to miss once you are in the right neighborhood.
In my experience, RMOM bud tenders have been a mixed bag - some friendly and others a little distant. Knowledge of medicines in stock has generally been strong.
The product at RMOM is quite good; a few strains are as good as I've had anywhere. The Island Sweet Skunk is a stand out at this dispensary - be prepared for strong head effects from this burly sativa. If they have the Red Dragon caviar in stock, try it out. Pricey but well worth the cost.
Prices at RMOM are also a mixed bag. Eighth & quarter prices are on the high end of the local scale, but if you watch for sales and markdowns at RMOM, you can score a bargain on a single-strain ounce mark down now and then.
All in all, RMOM makes a great neighborhood dispensary for those in the area, and most medicines are excellent to top notch. I will be back for more ISS and other favored strains.
