When legendary jazz great, Billie Holliday, belted out the lyrics to the now famous George Gershwin tune, Summertime and the Living Is Easy, she could have very easily been signing about 21st century Colorado. While the fish may not be jumping and it’s doubtful that the cotton is high, you can rest assured that Colorado’s best strains of marijuana can help you enjoy the abundance of easy living activities our state has to offer.

I was the preverbal “kid in a candy store” with my first legal cannabis dispensary experience in Denver. My eyes were as big as saucers trying to take it all in. The idea of no longer having to purchase marijuana in the cloak and dagger cover of darkness, engaging in clandestine, secret behavior that might make a CIA agent envious; was instantly refreshing and liberating.Blue Dream

Colorado has some of the best strains of marijuana in the world for this summer. Marijuana typically comes in two dominant classes of cannabis: indica and sativa.

Cannabis Indica is characterized by making you sleepy, relaxed, and coupled with the much-foretold case of the “munchies.”

While on the other hand, Cannabis Sativa has an uplifting, creative and energizing effect. Nevertheless, it is uncommon to find a strain that is 100 percent either indica or sativa. It is typical that you’ll get a hybrid of the two.
