00:00My name's Lazarus. I'm the assistant store manager here at Diego Polisera. Diego Polisera
00:10is located here in Southwest Denver. We are a high-end cannabis retail store. Our focus
00:16is bringing people into an inviting environment where you can buy cannabis and feel like you're
00:21shopping for anything else, not feel like you're in some guy's living room. We try to
00:25be out in the open about it and make somebody feel comfortable about consuming and buying
00:30cannabis. We try to carry a little bit of everything. We carry one of the biggest selections,
00:33if not the largest selection of concentrates in Denver. For those, you're going to be able
00:37to take an extremely small amount of concentrate, throw it into a wax pen, and instantly vaporize
00:44a larger amount of THC than you'd be able to find in the same amount of cannabis flower.
00:47We also carry an extensive selection of cannabis edibles. A lot of different gummies that have
00:52different ratios of THC and CBD. So CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis,
00:58so it doesn't get you high, but most people do find some relief from inflammation, from pain,
01:03as well as anxiety. The majority of our flower does come from our grow. We've got two different
01:10grow facilities here in Denver, Colorado. Right now on our shelf, we probably have close to about
01:1615 different strains. Typically, most people's understanding is sativa versus indica. Sativas
01:21are good daytime strains. You feel the high more so mentally than you do physically. With
01:25the indicas, you're going to be a little bit more relaxed. Typically, your body feels heavier,
01:29and you feel a little bit less so in your mind. So typically, if somebody comes in,
01:33they say, I struggle with anxiety, and I need to get a good night's sleep, I will point them
01:37towards the indicas because it's not going to be such a cerebral high. Colorado Cush is one of the
01:42strains that we grow from our garden. It's a really nice, mellow strain. Usually tests around
01:4622 to 25% THC. It's got a nice, sweet terpene profile to it, so it's very, very tasty. It's
01:53got a nice, mellow, chill high. Layer Cake is definitely a heavy hitter. That's going to be a
01:58big combination of a strain called Wedding Cake, Triangle Cush, Skunk, and GMO. GMO incorporated
02:05into it brings these really interesting, almost savory flavors to it. Colorado's in a big craze
02:11of garlic flavors in their cannabis, and GMO is behind the majority of that.
02:17Legalization of cannabis has been an amazing journey here. It's been really incredible
02:21getting to come to work every day, getting to sell something that was typically seen as taboo
02:27and bad and wrong, and I can make a paycheck selling it to people, and get to help people
02:32out and experience something new that they've never gotten to experience before.
