It's hard not to sound like an entitled asswipe when you're complaining about the wait at a dispensary. When you listen to cannabis consumers in other states, you hear that we should be happy just being able to visit a pot shop, period.

While those jealous comrades in prohibition states have a point, there's nothing wrong with looking for more efficiency. If you already know what strain or product you want before going to a store, why wait behind some jamoke who's just now learning about the differences between indica and sativa?

A surprisingly large number of Denver-area dispensaries, many of which have multiple locations, allow pre-ordering online to help get customers in and out before their clothes start sponging up smells of Sour Diesel and Blackberry Kush. Here are nearly twenty we've found so far:
