When 52-year-old Michelle Mitnik stepped into the church for the regular Sunday service, very few over there knew that she’s running a cannabis business.

It’s not a topic that Mitnik often discusses about with her friends in church due to the social disgrace fear, though when she discloses, it’s something like listening to a bedtime story- a tale that tells how she spends most of her time in her limo’s back making sure that her clients who smoke hemp are enjoying a good time.

This 52-year Colorado Springs woman owns a cannabis tourism firm called Mountain High Treks that provides hi-fi dispensary excursions, marijuana friendly ranch holidays, and in future weddings on cannabis theme.

A 15-year banking industry veteran, this lady spends her earnings in the field and orders the needed promotional things from local businesses. She has hired 2 tourist guides and has many more on duty.

There’s nothing to be concerned that there are no recreational cannabis stores in El Paso County as the medical cannabis industry of the area along with legal recreational use and possession have been adequate to seed several ancillary businesses like that of Mitnik, which undulate into the local economy’s other areas.
For each grow operation or cannabis dispensary in the area of Colorado Springs, someone had to devise and make the signs in their storefronts and windows.

Someone had to ensure that the place was according to the laws.
Besides the business of Mitnik, Colorado Springs also has a cottage industry for cultivation, which includes a cannabis lounge, vaporizer and edibles manufacturer, and a grow-your-own consultancy. There are several more in the area of Denver, all looked after by the revolutionary role of the state in marijuana sales.

Call Grow Squad is yet another cannabis business in the region, which is into designing and installing recreational and medical cannabis grow operations and offering plant care for long term. Similar to the customers of Mitnik, most of the clients of Call Grow Squad are middle-class individuals, a majority of whom reside in rural parts without a close-by medical dispensary.

They prefer cultivating their own plants in order to save money and time, but lack the legal or growing expertise. The main work of this business is to help their clients understand the laws on cultivating cannabis.

A business partner at Call Grow Squad, Dustin Cooper stated, “I think we represent a new brand of cannabis users. We’re not just sitting on the couch all day. We’re doing business.”
