4 licensed shops open in Aspen right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. Roots Rx Aspen Dispensary leads at 4.9.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the Colorado average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.
400 E Hyman Ave A102
Long-time locals and summer workers alike call it their only Aspen stop, citing a large selection and a relaxed, unhurried room. Budtenders know the bud they sell and treat regulars like friends, and shoppers mention strong deals. Cash only, so bring cash.
Open
720 E Durant Ave E3
Locals like the no-frills approach: prompt, respectful service and consistently good flower, with the deli goods a favorite. It sits in the middle of town with a grocery store next door for snacks. Credit and debit cards are both accepted.
Open
308 S Hunter St
Staff still give full attention 10 minutes before closing, and shoppers describe a clean, well-organized store. Customers name the same budtenders again and again for recommendations that land, from rosin carts to flower, and first-time visitors say they left happy.
Open
409 E Hyman Ave
A clean shop with straightforward pricing and attention to detail is what shoppers describe, and budtenders serve newcomers and seasoned smokers equally well. Green Dot is among the products regulars thank them for. Longtime patrons recommend it to everyone who visits Aspen.

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the Colorado mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside Colorado.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
