Less Competition in Commercial Cannabis Cultivation

Cities in southern Colorado like Pueblo and Trinidad have fewer cannabis companies operating within their limits, meaning less competition from growers. While this may seem like a bad thing, (who would want less weed in their city?) it’s actually a positive for folks looking for high-quality cannabis. The lack of competition allows growers to focus on quality rather than low margins and quantity, resulting in high-quality cannabis products across the board.

Convenient Location for Cannabis Tourism

The southern portion of Colorado is breathtaking in many ways. From spectacular natural beauty to historic downtown cityscapes and attractions, there truly is something for everyone to enjoy. On top of that, southern Colorado’s proximity to states like New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma and Kansas make it a prime location for cannabis tourism.

Increased Outdoor Cultivation Presence

Southern Colorado is the outdoor growing capital of the state and is home to countless sun-powered cannabis growing operations.

Outdoor cannabis cultivation is extremely popular in southern Colorado due to optimal growing conditions and sunlight exposure.

For anyone who appreciates the taste and ambiance of fine, outdoor marijuana, southern Colorado is the spot for you. Additionally, the climate in southern Colorado is much better suited for outdoor growing, making for some seriously potent buds at great prices.

Looking to make the most of your time in southern Colorado? As mentioned above, there are many great options for cannabis tourism and more than enough options to keep you busy throughout the duration of your stay.
