Everybody (well, a lot of people, at least) loves smoking weed. Not everyone loves the price point. Typical weed prices at a dispensary can get pretty high. Being a pothead can be expensive, so anytime you can save some money, it’s worth it.

Getting free weed can sometimes be as simple as having a friend who will smoke you up. But mooching off of your friend isn’t really what this article is about. Getting free weed isn’t always easy. But if you look in the right places, sometimes you’ll find ways to ‘cheat the system’ and grab some free ganja. 

Here are some of the easiest ways, or "hacks" if you will, to get free weed and avoid the high weed prices in Colorado.

First Time Deals

So, yeah, if you’re reading an article about how to get free weed, then you’ve probably already been to the dispensary – but this doesn’t mean this trick still won’t work. Some local dispensaries will have deals for first-time customers. So consider trying out a dispensary you haven’t been to before to check for first-timer deals.

Membership & Reward Programs

Dispensaries will often offer first-time customers some good deals – but what about their loyal customers? Most dispensaries will have some sort of loyalty program for returning customers. It can be as simple as a card that gets hole-punched with every purchase or a much more elaborate system like an app or online tracking. Ask your budtender at your favorite dispensary about any reward or loyalty programs offered.

Daily Weed Deals

Dispensaries aren’t unlike any other businesses – deals and sales are good for business and customer loyalty. Some dispensaries will have daily weed deals (for instance, Rocky Mountain High in Denver has a good Sunday deal) that you should be taking advantage of.

Search around our website for the newest weed deals before you head in – maybe tomorrow there’s a better deal on exactly what you were looking for.

Weed Coupon Websites

Essentially Groupon for marijuana, sites like Cannasaver will help you find deals on weed. It might take some searching, but you can find some killer deals that can help maximize your trip to the dispensary. Cannasaver is localized in Colorado, so our website can help you avoid the high weed prices in Denver or anywhere else in Colorado. 

Research Studies on Weed

These are a little more few and far between – but not impossible to find. Marijuana is a fascinating plant with a multitude of psychoactive and health effects. As it’s been illegal until fairly recently, it’s gone relatively unstudied by modern science. Sometimes universities or other research groups will have marijuana-related studies and will offer volunteers some free weed in exchange for participation – sometimes you even get paid. Do some research of your own online to see if there are any studies near you.

Weed Giveaways

Rare as well, weed giveaways are like stoner Christmas. Maybe it’s a new store opening, or a celebration, etc. – check on social media and Google for any giveaways that are happening near you.

They are more likely to be around on holidays – specifically 4/20. 

Grow Your Own Weed

This may sound like a difficult solution, but a well-kept marijuana plant will pay for itself. There are tons of resources online to help you through the growing process, as well as how to make it ready to smoke. You can buy seeds at dispensaries (the current deal in Capitol Hill) and then grow weed in the comfort of your own home. Can’t get more free than nature.

Celebrate 4/20

One of the best chances you’ll have at getting free bud is doing some weed shopping on a weed holiday. Try out a couple of different dispensaries – most likely they’ll all be doing some sort of promotion for 4/20. Look on Cannasaver to see if there are any upcoming 4/20 deals near you.

The Best Way to Save Money

Opportunities to get truly free weed are scarce – after all, it’s a popular product sold by a business trying to make money – free doesn’t jive with that.

The best way to lower your expenses when buying weed is to look for the best deals. A Buy One, Get One deal still requires you to pay money, but the ‘Get One’ part of it is essentially free weed. Always check sites like Cannasaver before you head into the dispensary – you don’t want to be spending more money than you need to.

It’s hard to consider deals as free. But depending on how you look at it, a 50% off deal is essentially like getting 50% of your weed for free.

Check out some of these deals to make the most of your money when weed shopping:

·         Pure Marijuana Dispensary has locations across Colorado. Every Wednesday the entire store is Buy One, Get One 50% off. Cash in using this coupon.

·         At Herban Underground you can grab one Cousin Eddie’s Baked Goods (either cookies or brownies) and get another one free.

The Reality of Getting Free Weed

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a reliable, consistent way to get free weed – that’s if you find a way to get any at all. Marijuana is such a popular substance that finding it for free is likely never going to be easy. Using the tips and tricks mentioned above will help you – but there are no guarantees.

If you’re looking for free weed, then your end goal is likely to save money. Your best bet to lower your weed expenses is by finding the best deals. It’s not free – but it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Think if you could be Buy One, Get One deals every time you visited the dispensary – that money you saved will start to add up.

Always make sure to find the best deal – use Cannasaver to keep your wallet full.
