8 licensed shops open in Lakewood right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. Star Buds Lakewood 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.

Ascend Cannabis Co - Medical/Recreational Marijuana Dispensary
10712 W Alameda Ave · 424 reviews · 4.0 stars
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.
