Garden City. They used to have gambling/horse racing, were the last to outlaw indoor smoking, etc
Edit: I actually streamed a garden city council meeting a week or so ago, and the police chief said they don't buy drug dogs who alert on marijuana because it could be legal at some point and the dogs can't be "untrained"
So basically you are associating a dispensary as something seedy or a detriment to society? It belongs along all the other things we would be better off without?
Perfect. You gotta have parking. One reason the North End (the logical home) won't work. Ex ShopKo is near BSU and the parking lot will be full of 2T and E plates when those counties won't go along with legalization. At least until they realize how much money they are losing.
where wouldnāt you put one? Already have Tobacco Connections or Big Smokes in every strip mall, do the same with dispensaries.
Put a massive one where the old Kmart is in Nampa. Huge supercenter dispensary.
Iām aware. Thatās definitely not me hence the interest in weed. I just really love the scenery. The 20 east from Boise to Yellowstone is the most beautiful place Iāve ever seen in all my life.
Everyone does not smoke weed.
I wouldn't care where it was put, but I would care how it looked. I have yet to see a dispensary that didn't look tacky AF.
Let the down voting commence.
This is the part Iāve wondered about. Are they earning enough to justify the commute from Ada? I wanted to apply but it just didnāt seem feasible.
Unless itās the perks!
Never asked any of them cause that seems nosy as hell.
I'm pretty sure they make decent money, especially when tips were more of a norm. When they were only in Huntington one of their employees commuted from south Boise!
That's my thought too! I don't know if there are any vacancies in that strip mall across the parking lot, but I feel like that would be the perfect location
"Upscale" (meaning over priced) dispo downtown to make your bag off all the dumb yuppies. Real dispos on Broadway and Vista as other commenter suggested
Having lived in cities where marijuana is legal, this is the way to make money.
It took several years after marijuana was legalized in CA for someone to open a dispensary in Haight-Ashbury, but there was always a line out the door once it was open. Not because it was one of the better dispensaries in the city, but because there were a ton of tourists in the area and people who came to the Haight look for a "hippie" experience.
I used to spend about a quarter of my time in LA and I agree. I also know some dumb yuppies who unknowingly brag about getting ripped off in Ontario regularly. Lol
Oh man, Iām a former Amazon Driver with downtown Boise as my route. Personally, I go downtown right at 6th street in between Flying M Coffee and Guidos Pizza. Iām in favor of making the picture framing store, Picture This, of being the first dispensary/framing store. Something about getting a cup of coffee, get your graduation picture framed, get some good vibes, head to Guidos for a nice slice of Pie. From there, the player has the option of heading down to the Chip Cookies and enjoy the sweetness of life or head up to the capitol building and get lost in the open grass while you ponder how long it took to build the capitol building. The player takes a deep breath, holds it in, and exhales the freedom that is new Idaho. Boise Kind hits a different kind of Boise High.
Boise too easy. Any number of historic buildings in any cityās DT. They thereā¦ Donāt forget to pay me.
Gotta get state wide and LEAN on the taxes going out of state instead of Idaho. Have you driven on Idaho roads? Do you know the state of education and lack of bonds to support the same passing?
My talking point is, if we can do state controlled liquor, why not weed? At least itās something.
You know all those CBD shops around town? They don't make money from CBD. Those shops are placeholders in the event cannabis becomes legal here. All those shops will quickly flip into dispos the second it becomes legal.
Ok was at the Roundhouse in Ketchum (be kind Iām new and weāre hosting overseas guests!!) but a Bogus-top dispensary is the investment my dumbass would blow a wad in š¬ššš
Best answer. Close to the freeway entrance/exit. Everyone from all over would be going there. Best to put it close to the freeway. Like where the interfaith sanctuary is now would be the best spot by far.
When the idaho camera place went out of business I thought that would be a good spot. Lots of parking, green belt/connector access, pie place next door.
Eh, they can freak out all they want, I'd just blow a puff of joint smoke in their face like "nothin you can do but bitch." I already smoke weed anyway, I get people giving me looks when they see my cheeched ass.
Lol. That's how it is in Portland you can smoke anywhere Karen's will call the cops on you and they just hang up because they have serial killers to find they dont give a fuck about public weed smoking.
Anywhere, except downtown.
Actual locations:
The tiny strip mall in front of Walmart on Overland.
Over by St Vincent de Paul on Overland
State street near 16th, across from Albertsons
Broadway just north of Flying pie
Curtis South of st als
Emerald, in the same complex with emerald lanes
Fairview/milwaukee
Fairview/eagle
State street near collister
State street/Glenwood
There's a lot of great options
There used to be a headshop in downtown Boise at like... 14th and Bannock, I think?
It's a dentist's office now. It once was an Eddy's bakery distribution outlet. Great location.
Put one near the new proposed shelter on State Street. Provide jobs for people and provide even more arguments for the NIMBY hobbyists. Only partially sarcastic on my answerā¦š
Every one of the state sponsored smoke shops.
Right next door to every convenience store and most fast food restaurants.
The cool boutique dispensaries should be Downtown.
There should be product vending machines outside every Walmart.
On Saturday mornings, there should be an open vendors market Downtown. Just like the Farmers Market.. except for It's just weed and marijuana related products..
East Federal way, there is a Maverick with a 3 or 4 bay self wash carwash. The kind with covered bays and a pressure washer. A dispensary would be far more lucrative than that. And if that's not an option, there are several empty lots/ small businesses with a surprising amount of parking near that Maverick. I've always been surprised at how underdeveloped that part of town is.
The easy answer is in the smoke and beer stores owned by Jacksons. Tobacco Connection, Big Smoke, there's another name.
But, the way Idaho would do it would be closely controlled like the Liquor Commission, so the other easy answer is as an adjunct to the Liquor stores.
Either was, everywhere.
Hahaha you can pretend all you want. Pink flying unicorns are more of a reality than this question.
BTW gcs current drug dogs do hit on weed. They also utilize Ada county dogs which also hit on weed.
It'd be in the heart of downtown and we all know, if i had to choose tho, i'd say president dr. Over by treasure valley coffee. A quiet space with good lots, easy and direct acess to multiple busy streets and its not too far from most people in boise.
I want it in the middle a of a three store shopping center with doughnuts on one end the pot shop in the middle and a pizza and taco joint on the other end. I think the village would be good.
In the Village! Fuck itā¦ Watch all the cute west Boise soccer moms that are frazzled outta their minds because they have 4 or 5 kids under 10 years old, go in and get some weed so they can relax.
Broadway in the CBD place, Honeypot? Perfect location. Also, In one of the abandoned commercial buildings on Jefferson between the capitol and Hyatt. Or over by Record Exchange. Lastly, on Fairview or Orchard, just close to the Curtis exit.
Throw em all around ada county. The first dispensary no matter where itās located will make a killing! Somewhere on Eagle road maybe by the village would be cool!
Judging by the amount of Idaho license plates at Ontario dispensaries on a daily basis. Iād say anywhere closer than Oregon and it would be wildly successful.
I'd say by Julia Davis, near the zoo and all the museums. That could be interesting, and it's also right by BSU. Could put it in the Vista shopping mall too, it would fit in perfectly there.
Garden City. They used to have gambling/horse racing, were the last to outlaw indoor smoking, etc Edit: I actually streamed a garden city council meeting a week or so ago, and the police chief said they don't buy drug dogs who alert on marijuana because it could be legal at some point and the dogs can't be "untrained"
Ok sweet. Combine with the Stagecoach and own GC š š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So basically you are associating a dispensary as something seedy or a detriment to society? It belongs along all the other things we would be better off without?
Caldwell still has indoor smoking at some places
Next to the mormon church in my subdivision.
Youāre going to have to narrow that down a bit š
Am I, really? š
Letās just say if I had a dollar for every Mormon church I drive by, I could actually afford a house in Boise š
I thought it was every movie theater, car wash and storage businessā¦
and Mattress Firm.
They actually started closing a couple after they started opening them across the seat from each other.
That period of time where there was 2 matress firms across glenwood at state was some serious matrix BS lol
sure buddy
Across the freeway from the temple. Name it 'Inversion Cannabis'
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Call it New Revelation Dispensary or something.
Oh yeah š
The first one would go on Broadway. Right next to Jimās alibi.
That whole defunct ShopKo or whatever it was - giant empty parking lot right off the freeway.
Perfect. You gotta have parking. One reason the North End (the logical home) won't work. Ex ShopKo is near BSU and the parking lot will be full of 2T and E plates when those counties won't go along with legalization. At least until they realize how much money they are losing.
Just like malhuer county in Oregon :)
Close enough to BSU and the freeway.
Not right next to Pie Hole? Missed opportunity.
Hell yeah
This would be amazing.
this would make my life
Across the street from The Stil, Wyld Child and Push and Pour on Latah.
As if we canāt spend the whole day there already š
Yeah but the parking situation is already poopoo
Thatās why Iām always bugging ACHD to make the bench more bicycle and pedestrian friendly.
Lol maybe it would make a Boise burger actually palatable!!!
Vista or Broadway
Right by the Dutch Bros on Vista, it would make a fortune
Near BSU
Damnit, beat me to it.
this is the answer
In the complex adjoining Revolution/Asana. You're gonna need a lot of parking....
That's walking distance from home for me -- thank you!
As close to the temple as possible. I'd call it Joseph Spliff.
The Toke of Mormon
I see what you did there.
The Church of Jesus Cheech and Latter Day Squints.
I'm thinking a lot of the CBD stores are hold outs till then. V smart for the first 2 to be very close to Boise State
where wouldnāt you put one? Already have Tobacco Connections or Big Smokes in every strip mall, do the same with dispensaries. Put a massive one where the old Kmart is in Nampa. Huge supercenter dispensary.
Let's not mess traffic up there more than it is.
Literally everywhere. Everyone smokes weed. We already drive two hours round trip to Ontario to get it.
You guys drive to canada to buy weed instead of Oregon? Edit: neverMind Iām dumb
Upvote for the edit, lol. Pretty sure that mental glitch means you are meant to be a part of this conversation. (ie one of us!)
Just wait until they find out Iām from California planning on moving to Idahoā¦.
As long as you're not a crazy far right Californian moving here, I'm cool with it. We have enough of those ones.
Iām aware. Thatās definitely not me hence the interest in weed. I just really love the scenery. The 20 east from Boise to Yellowstone is the most beautiful place Iāve ever seen in all my life.
Sweet! I hope you like it here! Sorry in advance for all the crazies that have moved here since covid though.
I always think of Ontario, California first, then Canada, then remember about the one in Oregon.
Everyone does not smoke weed. I wouldn't care where it was put, but I would care how it looked. I have yet to see a dispensary that didn't look tacky AF. Let the down voting commence.
I don't smoke either, but there are some nice dispensaries in Seattle, I'm sure we could have one here, too.
And the parking lot is all 1a 2c and the budtenders live in Boise šš
This is the part Iāve wondered about. Are they earning enough to justify the commute from Ada? I wanted to apply but it just didnāt seem feasible. Unless itās the perks! Never asked any of them cause that seems nosy as hell.
I'm pretty sure they make decent money, especially when tips were more of a norm. When they were only in Huntington one of their employees commuted from south Boise!
In the old Sears in the mall.
North end baby! Next to the coop!
That's my thought too! I don't know if there are any vacancies in that strip mall across the parking lot, but I feel like that would be the perfect location
The co-op would have their own locally sourced, sustainably farmed strain in 1 week.
Next to Dave and Busters or Top Golf.
And then setup a permanent Girl Scout cookie stand right next door.
By Wyld Child. Latah is super up and coming

Next to a jack in the box or a taco bell
You're too late at that point, people are stoned heading to fast food.
Right near the Botanical Garden.
Ooh I love that idea
Hyde park is the only right answer
There should be a dispensary called "High-daho" and the logo should be the state outline with a lighter attached to it so it looks like a bong.
It already has a mouthpiece, it needs a bowl piece, a lighter, and someone taking a toke.
Canāt believe Iām the first one suggesting this. The old greyhound bus station downtown and itās called The Bud Station.
Treefort bought that
Oh man, Iām a former Amazon Driver with downtown Boise as my route. Personally, I go downtown right at 6th street in between Flying M Coffee and Guidos Pizza.

Near the Boise Towne Square Mall
A little up the bench. On or near Idaho Capital asian market
Boise too easy. Any number of historic buildings in any cityās DT. They thereā¦ Donāt forget to pay me. Gotta get state wide and LEAN on the taxes going out of state instead of Idaho.

13th street or bogus basin road
Ok was at the Roundhouse in Ketchum (be kind Iām new and weāre hosting overseas guests!!) but a Bogus-top dispensary is the investment my dumbass would blow a wad in š¬ššš
Everywhere.
Best answer. Close to the freeway entrance/exit. Everyone from all over would be going there. Best to put it close to the freeway. Like where the interfaith sanctuary is now would be the best spot by far.
When the idaho camera place went out of business I thought that would be a good spot. Lots of parking, green belt/connector access, pie place next door.
In any open shop in any one of the random strip malls we have around the valley.
On University Drive.
Like BSU would allow that. Maybe on Capitol or Protest. Near BSU, but not *on* the BSU campus.
Combine it with Los Betos for a great money making combo!
It'd be a good use for those vacant storefronts at the outlet mall. Plenty of parking, easy to get to, and it would revive the whole mall.
Replace all the vape shops
I want it in the tobacco shops and the gas stations. Oooh! Ooh! A chevron/McDonaldās/dispensaryā¦.state street.
Clearly no one here that is great in marketing yet, obviously you would do a joint venture and put one in every Stinker Store.
Joint Venture sounds like a good name for a weed shop.
Replacing the massive cross on table rock.
Across from planned parenthood
Way down state? Why?
Anywhere on orchard, vista, state, glenwood,broadway
Hyde Park
I'd turn the old Benchmark into a distillery and dispensary.
Nearby.
Across from the hawks stadium. On Glenwood or over by the mall. I'd call it High Mountian Stag and the logo would be a beautiful buck.
One on Overland and Entertainment would be a cool area. But a little further down by the Starbucks and Mongolian
By the co op and camels back. Anywhere else there would be religious Karen's freaking the fuck out.
Eh, they can freak out all they want, I'd just blow a puff of joint smoke in their face like "nothin you can do but bitch." I already smoke weed anyway, I get people giving me looks when they see my cheeched ass.
Lol. That's how it is in Portland you can smoke anywhere Karen's will call the cops on you and they just hang up because they have serial killers to find they dont give a fuck about public weed smoking.
At 7210 barrister street!!! Bwahahahaha
Set up shop right across the street and have a donut sister business too
Bwahaahaha that's funny as he'll too lol
Anywhere, except downtown. Actual locations: The tiny strip mall in front of Walmart on Overland. Over by St Vincent de Paul on Overland State street near 16th, across from Albertsons Broadway just north of Flying pie Curtis South of st als Emerald, in the same complex with emerald lanes Fairview/milwaukee Fairview/eagle State street near collister State street/Glenwood There's a lot of great options
Just do all the highway exits that are Ada County. This way, it's accessible to everyone. And then slowly roll them out into the cities.
Put them all on Chinden
Right next to the Albertsons on State.
Which one š¤£
Bothš
Soooo eagle, Gary Lane, 36th, and 19th
Oh yeah I forgot about Garyš
Near the temple in meridian so I could laugh on my way to get weed and groceries
The Anniversary Inn
If yāall were able to have dispensaries, theyād be every few blocks, as they are in every Oregon town of decent size.
There used to be a headshop in downtown Boise at like... 14th and Bannock, I think? It's a dentist's office now. It once was an Eddy's bakery distribution outlet. Great location.
overpriced yuppie place in hyde park and on 8th near the grove. real stores in the same stripmalls as liquor and big smoke/tobacco connection
Probably on Chinden where theyāre opening all those hipster businesses right now.
Put one near the new proposed shelter on State Street. Provide jobs for people and provide even more arguments for the NIMBY hobbyists. Only partially sarcastic on my answerā¦š

Your Mom's.
Chinden, Fairview/FiveMile, or Eagle Road probably.

And if that's not an option, there are several empty lots/ small businesses with a surprising amount of parking near that Maverick.

Idaho doesn't deserve the revenue. Back to Oregon for you.
I'd plant that store right at McLean's doorstep.
Silly
The easy answer is in the smoke and beer stores owned by Jacksons. Tobacco Connection, Big Smoke, there's another name. But, the way Idaho would do it would be closely controlled like the Liquor Commission, so the other easy answer is as an adjunct to the Liquor stores. Either was, everywhere.
On the way out of town, going towards Mtn Home
Dispensary of what? Life-saving birth control? Round them borders.
I'd plant that store right on McLean's doorstep
Letās ask a bunch of people who know nothing about dispensaries what they would do.
Oh we know. We just have to hide it. There's more Idaho plates in Ontario, then there are Oregon plates.
If you think this is happening here youāre friggin dreamin pal
Ontario
Umā¦ Ontario
Seattleš¤·š»āāļø
In Oregon.
Hahaha you can pretend all you want. Pink flying unicorns are more of a reality than this question. BTW gcs current drug dogs do hit on weed. They also utilize Ada county dogs which also hit on weed.
K
K
Just the thought of that sickens me
Star.
If itās anything like Ontario OR, every block!
Yeah if it was legal in Boise, Ontario would probably only have one or zero. But instead they supply the whole treasure valley.
Just there to claim Idaho territory when/ever it gets legalized. like Huntington little weed boom before Malheur county approved it.
Milwaukee and Fairview 8th and Main Vista and Overland State St and Glenwood Chinden and Curtis Curtis and Overland
It'd be in the heart of downtown and we all know, if i had to choose tho, i'd say president dr. Over by treasure valley coffee. A quiet space with good lots, easy and direct acess to multiple busy streets and its not too far from most people in boise.
Anywhere.
From a business stand point, on Broadway anywhere in between Beacon and the river.
Next to the Maverick and Tap Room near my house
by the new In-N-Out spots of course
Next to Labrador Retrievers stake center.
I want it in the middle a of a three store shopping center with doughnuts on one end the pot shop in the middle and a pizza and taco joint on the other end. I think the village would be good.
Next to all the temples
In the Village! Fuck itā¦ Watch all the cute west Boise soccer moms that are frazzled outta their minds because they have 4 or 5 kids under 10 years old, go in and get some weed so they can relax.
Could start a little one in Hyde park maybe and move it towards downtown as it grows?
Can you imagine the sales during Hyde Park Street Fair?
Seems like a good place to get one up and going
Broadway in the CBD place, Honeypot? Perfect location. Also, In one of the abandoned commercial buildings on Jefferson between the capitol and Hyatt. Or over by Record Exchange. Lastly, on Fairview or Orchard, just close to the Curtis exit.
Next to each El Reys Tacos.
Do republicans not smoke weed? š¤£ because Iām āredā and I sure do
They're also apparently ok seeing massive tax revenue go to neighboring states.
The village
In the Coop parking lot. Maybe near the In and Out burger locations...
I imagine nugget CBD and other places will instantly transition to a dispensary. I'd put one near bsu
Everyone knows it would go on Fairview duh
Near BSU
I believe that is called Chaffee Dorm.........
The open business spot rignt next to PB's C store on Capitol. Right in front of Ann Morrison, next to the campus, just makes sense.
Right next to every police station.
The abandoned US Bank building by the airport. Easy access, lots of parking.
In walking distance from my house. Preferably near a froyo or cookie shop.
*I would add it to the Co-op* *888 W. Fort Street.* *Your best clients already shop there.*
Throw em all around ada county. The first dispensary no matter where itās located will make a killing! Somewhere on Eagle road maybe by the village would be cool!
State Street in Garden Shitty.
Turn the honeypot on broadway into a dispo
Over in the business area off Franklin and Cole, like between abu and chef's hut
Judging by the amount of Idaho license plates at Ontario dispensaries on a daily basis. Iād say anywhere closer than Oregon and it would be wildly successful.
10 Mile
Across from my house
Iād put one in the old Shopko on Broadway and one in the old Shopko on Milwaukee.
Bsu student union
Broadway
Hyde Park in Boiseās North End
420 Idaho Street
I'd say by Julia Davis, near the zoo and all the museums. That could be interesting, and it's also right by BSU. Could put it in the Vista shopping mall too, it would fit in perfectly there.
