The Dandelion
Contact: Brandon Webby
845 Walnut St. | (303) 459-4676

The dandelion is a misunderstood 'weed', sound familiar? The name The Dandelion was chosen because strangely enough both cannabis sativa and the dandelion have lived similar lives in the public eye. While both plants have been viewed as weeds with no value the truth is very different. Both plants are very beneficial to the environment and have been used medicinally by humans for thousands of years. The Dandelion is 100% Colorado owned and operated!
