First Gourmet Marijuana Restaurant Opens In Denver




DENVER (CBS4) ―
A medical marijuana dispensary in Denver has decided to get creative and make the business into a full-service restaurant that caters to those who need to use medicinal marijuana to ease physical ailments.

The owner of Ganja Gourmet located at 1810 South Broadway Avenue said the restaurant will "aim to help distribute medicinal marijuana to those licensed to have it and provide an atmosphere where patients can visit with one another in a safe environment."

Ganja Gourmet plans to offer lasagna, gourmet pizza, jambalaya, paella, chocolate mousse and flavored cheesecakes, among other gourmet dishes.

"It's a different buzz too. It's a more alert, more awake buzz," Medical Marijuana Chef Evan "Budman" said.

Budman believes it will put South Broadway on the state's budding medical marijuana map.

"It will bring people from all over Colorado here," he said.

The restaurant will be decorated in a 1960s retro feel, including tie-dye attire for the employees.

Steve Horowitz, an owner of Ganja Gourmet, says the restaurant will not promote a party-like atmosphere.

"With the new laws in Colorado, medicinal marijuana is a business like any other. Dozens of legal dispensaries are everywhere. We have to set ourselves apart as a business in order to survive," Horowitz said in a prepared statement. "Just like any other restaurant, we have to work on the quality of our food and our atmosphere to make sure our customers have an enjoyable experience that makes them want to come back."

Horowitz said the restaurant will offer courtesy rides home for customers who feel they can't drive.

"I hope the launch of Ganja Gourmet will set the standard for other Colorado distributers and distributers around the nation so that those suffering from illness get the best service possible," Horowitz said.

The marijuana-laced menu is actually prepared off-premises. Building inspectors won't allow an on-site kitchen because of a fire hazard.

Some neighboring businesses it's just the latest proof several blocks of South Broadway are going to pot.

"I don't think it's good for the neighborhood," an area business owner said. "I think it's a joke that they're using the guise that it's medicinal. It just shows it's not medicinal."

Former State Rep. Don Armstrong, injured in Vietnam, says the ganja gourmet is just what he needs instead of powerful painkillers.

"This is an alternative for me. It's a great alternative, when I do this," Armstrong said. "I can function with life in me and be able to live a normal life … I'm learning on the eating part. I'm just trying this out now."

Ganja Gourmet opened on Wednesday.

Demonpenz needs to make a menu for this place

If I was high I'd eat the shit out of some lasagna, thats for sure

Purple Thai Noodles

Blunt Cake

I HATE DENVER... BUT POT IS COOL.

I would think that would start a vicious cycle of eating. Eat, get munchies, eat, get munchies.

Pot Pies

Finally!

Maybe this will wake people up to realize that there is a lot of money to be made with pot, legally.

Its been proven since basically forever that laws do not stop the use of marijuana, and propagandizing it as a drug that the users of which needlessly kill or go crazy, has just created a modern day rite of passage for smokers. You must watch reefer madness at least once while high, that and maybe Dazed and Confused, and possibly the Darkside of Oz (gets kind of boring to me though).

If we could at least legalize growing hemp for the purpose of textile production, that would be wonderful.

Well, it is more like this:

Eating, get munchies, eat a little more, take a nap... a long deep and wonderful nap.

Philly Bluntsteak Sandwich

Wonder how long before the feds show up with their billy clubs raised over their heads whaling away at all the "criminals" trying to enjoy a meal.

Id love to live in Colorado, if it weren't infested with Donkos.

Wow! I did not know Colorado was that progressive with dispensers and people starting up restaurants. I also guess it's okay to carry a small amount in colorado? Fine if caught carrying x amount?

I know. It ruins the place.
