About this Organization
Denver Relief is a tenured group of cannabis professionals dedicated to providing the highest quality medicine, service, and experience to registered Colorado medical marijuana patients.
Prior to the founding their consulting division, Denver Relief earned a reputation as a medical cannabis center and wellness service provider committed to community outreach and industry-leading best practices. As proprietors of the second-longest operating dispensary in all of Colorado, Denver Relief Consulting offers clients experiential insight based on the breakthrough success of the Colorado business model.
Established in 2009, Denver Relief’s retail and cultivation facilities have since earned national media attention and critical acclaim from business insiders and cannabis aficionados alike. The Green Team was founded as a volunteer-based community outreach program in conjunction with Denver Relief’s retail, cultivation and infused product operations. The Green Team coordinates urban gardening efforts, free bicycle and wheelchair repair clinics, food and clothing drives, and trash pickup efforts at public events — all while raising money to pay for an underprivileged student to attend college.
