COLORADO SPRINGS - A new business model in the marijuana industry is about to open its doors. It's called Gas and Grass and the stores combine a traditional gas station with a marijuana dispensary. Denver based Native Roots will open its first two Gas and Grass locations in Colorado Springs next month, one at West Uintah and 17th Street, the other Academy and Galley.
"It's really just kind of pairing the convenience in one specific stop," said company spokesperson Tia Mattson.
She explained the dispensary will have its own separate entrance and must follow all the same rules and restrictions that apply to all other medical marijuana stores in Colorado. The gas station, like all gas stations, will be open to the public.
