The Giving Tree of Denver

Budtenders were very knowledgable and very down to earth. Very welcoming environment. Professional and clean. Prices were decent to average. The flower quality was good. I also purchased there edibles, which were good.
My favorite part of the experience was being able to put your number in at the front door for a daily deal. !!!

Awesome place. I’m a first time buyer, and the people who helped me out (Adam and Kendra) were amazing. Really friendly and really knowledgeable.

I enjoyed everything about the experience here. Best spot, away from the high-​priced tourist shops.

First time visitor. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Very welcoming environment and the prices were AMAZING!
We will definitely come back and refer friends to The Giving Tree.
My only concern was the limited parking, but I suppose that’s to be expected with any business in or near downtown.

Awesome visit here. The lady helping was extremely helpful! Descent selection but atmosphere and general knowledge made up for there little low selection but hey… still a better selection then what we have in Texas!

This place is great! I couldn’t print out my coupon but they let me use my phone and they honored it. Awesome place and will be back

Very helpful. They knew what we wanted, which was great, because we had no idea. The watermelon Gummies are delicious and worth it. Just go. You know you won’t be disappointed.

They had an OK selection of weed. The sales people were helpful for the most part except that the one that helped me seemed like she had a low tolerance for tourists excited about the experience and asking questions about the different strains they had. I also got 3 pre-​rolled joints from them that was terribly rolled. I got some oil that didn’t work with my vape after the sales person insisted it would work. I called about 10 minutes later letting them know what happened and they said no returns, exchanges or refunds. 10 minutes!!! Would I go back, maybe, but I’d have to see what else Denver has to offer.

This is my favorite cannabis clinic in Denver because the edibles are potent yet delicious, the product selection is diverse, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. You sense immediately that The Giving Tree employees care more about the green herb than the greenback. My budtender Joel patiently answered my questions, listened to my concerns, and recommended a perfect selection of tasty gummy candies, analgesic cannabis salves, and healing CBD-​infused products. The superlative customer service he offered me – combined with The Giving Tree’s assortment of well-​crafted products — convinced me to make this establishment my regular dispensary in Denver.

This is my first online review of anything, and I’m writing it because this shop is great, and run by really great folks.
It was the first shop I ever went to, over a year ago, and they are still my favorite. They have the best edible selection I’ve seen of any shop, which is great for me, because I can’t really smoke very much. Every shop I’ve been to carries just a few things that this shop does. Giving Tree has everything.
When I did go there looking for a certain strain once, they didn’t have it, BUT they knew the nearest shop that did and gave me the address, phone number and directions. They give very thorough advice and I always leave feeling confident in my purchase decisions, which I can really only say for this and maybe one other shop.
Their products are top notch, but the staff are even better. Kudos.

On this visit to Denver, I decided to patronize The Giving Tree based on the reviews. Although much smaller than some of the ones I have frequented and with a smaller selection, the quality of the products we bought was better than some of the bigger competitors (not dried out, higher quality). The service was second to none, the guys behind the counter knew the product, they were friendly and answered all of our questions. Adam, the owner came out and greeted us and even threw in a rolled blunt as a «thank you» (thanks again!). We bought the OG Sin & Girl Scout Cookies bud and 2 edibles which were all of high quality and enjoyable! Will definitely be back on my next return to Denver.

The smoke was good, but I got the lemon drops and sour taffy edibles and they just suck… They recommend 1 at a time for beginners. I just never got high, I took 20 mg the second time and still nothing. Thought maybe edibles didn’t work??? But my friends tried them and they also did not get high.

This review is long over due ! I had the pleasure of visiting the giving tree for the 1^st. time in 2009 when my late aunt was suffering from cancer.
I would visit her once a year from the east coast.
I had never been to this kind of establishment and did not know what to expect when my aunt took me there.
She passed away recently and I just wanted to thank The Giving Tree for helping to alleviate her suffering and help her feel so good through a very difficult time in her life.
Thank you for your kindness, compassion and for helping her feel loved for the past five or six years! She really lit up and got happy every time she mentioned your shop!
She always looked forward to going to The Giving Tree and talked about how she felt warm inside and cared about when she would come to your shop. Also, thanks for educating her so much and for being extremely patient with her !
Thanks for all of the LOVE you showed her !

When in Denver. Very professional & excellent knowledge. They explained everything to us novices & led us towards some fun, playful selections for our group. The brownie bites were kinda blasé. The peach rings were fun, the chocolates were cool & the jelly bean Kush was nice.

If you’ve never been to one of these establishments, the Giving Tree should be first on your list. The best one I’ve been to in the Denver area.
We were total newbies and had no idea whatsoever what we were doing. The guy behind the counter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He laid out what the different strains are, what types give you what effects, etc. He even shared personal experiences. I had never tried edibles before and he had lots of information on what I could expect from my first time.
The line was the longest out of any place I’ve been to, but it was so worth it. Not to mention the guy letting us in was super nice and funny, making our wait seem short. We came in about an hour before they closed on a weekend which I’m sure accounted for most of the wait.
They had a very significant candy selection which I can appreciate. I got 2 different kinds and loved them. None of the gummies I’ve gotten at other places have compared in taste or effect.
Last but not least, I love their branding. I want one of those Giving Tree shirts!
The Giving Tree is a great experience and more than worth a try if you’re in the Denver area. Super friendly and knowledgable staff coupled with great prices and amazing selection makes for a great first stop!

Biggest selection of edibles and each one I’ve tried has been every bit of delicious. It is very clean and has knowledgable, friendly employees. The cannabis selection is on point and never disappointing.

I really enjoyed stopping at The Giving Tree-​the staff was awesome-​and very informative, more than any other dispensary I’ve ever been to. Plus the location is nice –close to downtown but in a neighborhood area next to a flower shop. I will say that their selection was a little low but all good stuff-​I had the Deathstar Caviar (pretty bomb).Berner from SF dropped of cookies here one time and that’s what brought me in.
Earlier that day I had been to another shop close to the Rockies stadium and they were pretty lame. Thanks Giving Tree hope to see you again!!!

Super friendly! They were impressed that I read the recreational & medical signs & knew where I was supposed to go!
Very knowledgeable & made helpful recommendations for a newbie!
They were very upfront with the $ 6 charge for the childproof bag since I bought edibles. (What child wouldn’t want to try these tasty treats?!?).
No problems finding it although there are several others a stone’s throw away. I was impressed w/​their variety and that everything had prices on it. Not like some where they have everything behind a counter (could have been for security?) and prices are a big secret (adjustable by means?). Not so here!!!

This place is super rad. The staff is supHERB. I’m Visiting from Cali and wanted to enjoy and unwind with the Denver recreation laws. I highly recommend this place. This was my first time in a dispensary and they made me feel very comfortable and taught me a lot. Ask for Isabella.
Side note: The Giving Tree was my childhood favorite book. Coming here felt like home.

This was literally my first stop in Denver. Excited much? Having received my Unilocalus Maximus badge for this check-​in made me extremely happy for some reason. And that was prior to my ingestion of any special chocolate that I purchased. Is my name on a list somewhere, or is that paranoia? ;)
So…I’m a total newb when it comes to marijuana. Once in high school, I inhaled from a bong and it had zero effect and I never felt the need or desire to do it again. I probably did it wrong any way. This contrasts greatly with my experience in the great state of Colorado last week, to say the least.
I love that the clinic itself, which dispenses both medical and recreational marijuana products, felt like just that, «clinical». (The neighborhood itself was kind of sketchy, but we made it through without incident. Haha) You walk into a small lobby with a few chairs for waiting where you check in at the glass partition and are required to show your identification to the attendant. We didn’t have to wait at all, and were immediately taken back into the inner sanctum. That next area was also small, divided up into 2 areas, medical and recreational.
I had no idea what to expect from the staff. Would they be Beavis & Butthead types, or Seth Rogan, or Cheech & Chong? That could have made for quite an entertaining experience, but it was not at all the case. A very clean cut guy in his 20’s helped us and chatted with us about his visits to Chicago during Lollapalooza. I’m guessing he was a very popular guy there based on his current job. ;)
He was really helpful and didn’t mind answering my many questions. I was pretty sure I didn’t want to deal with a bong or rolling papers kind of thing, as well as those extra supplies, and was leaning towards edibles. They had many choices, including cookies, brownies, suckers, gummies, tea and more! And then I heard about the chocolate bars. Done & done! LOL He explained carefully about how much was a serving, the length of time to take affect, and its lasting power. And to be sure to NOT just pop another one thinking it wasn’t working. I chose an orange & cayenne bar of 10 servings, made by a manufacturer he compared to Godiva, in the chocolate making business well before the advent of legal edibles. I paid $ 20 for the bar (cash only currently), $ 10 additional for taxes– yeah, it’s high, and may have been higher not being a CO resident, not positive on that.
Additionally, he packaged our purchase in an opaque and «child-​proof» bag (required by state law) and explained that while in the state of Colorado, should we be stopped by police, it was not searchable as long as it remained in the bag. Interesting. Of course, you can not take it legally out of the state at this time since very few states allow it.
And then we left, headed toward my final destination in CO, driving around like we weren’t holding drugs in the car. It was kind of bizarre and funny to us. And for the record, the chocolate was decent, and the THC in there? Strong and long-​lasting. Oh. My. God. I’m sure it was because it was my first time, but WOW! I have never felt that way before and have no idea how many equivalent drinks it would’ve taken me to land there. No hangover the next day, however the day after my second indulgence, I was a little foggy for half the day. I was also tired from having been up late and I hadn’t showered that morning as per my usual, so those could all contribute to that fogginess. My quote of that first night: «ok, I’m ready for this to be over now.»
