As the Associated Press has reported, The Grass Station is promising to sell $50 ounces to the first sixteen customers per day Friday-Saturday, November 28-30. Here’s a graphic featuring all its Black Friday “doorbusters:”

In contrast, Evergreen Apothecary is offering “Green Friday” deals. The caption accompanying this Facebook graphic…. …reads: “Stop by on November 28th and receive 15% off your total! Make your Black Friday, a Green Friday.”

Colorado Harvest Company is offering the same deal — and both it and Evergreen Apothecary are working with Hemp House in regard to marijuana gift cards included in “The Hemp Pack.” Here’s the pitch:

When you order your Hemp Pack you will receive two Hemp T-Shirts, Canvas Hemp House Bag, & Gift Card for an 1/8th of Cannabis from two Denver dispensaries. A $107 value for $65. Now that’s a deal!

WE ALL KNOW YOU WILL BE BUYING A NEW SHIRT SOONER OR LATER. WHY NOT GET GET A FEW NOW & GET A SPECIAL KICK BACK!
