Our Story
Quality, Compassion
& Care.
Backstage Grass was founded by Marc & Ash in Cañon City, Colorado. Ash — a rock singer with the band ARSON COUNTY— built this dispensary around one idea: quality cannabis treatment delivered with compassion, convenience, and a little rock 'n' roll.
We are Fremont County's #1 medical dispensary. Our mission is to provide an affordable, natural alternative to industrialized pharmaceuticals — with the largest selection in the county and some of the best prices in the state.

Why Go Medical?
Seven reasons.
One card.
A Colorado medical card isn't just a piece of plastic — it's access to better prices, better products, and a team that actually gives a damn.
Lower Prices
Medical patients pay less. Our ounces start at $45 out the door — tax included. No sticker shock at the register.
More Product Options
Medical-only dispensaries like ours carry products and potencies that recreational shops can't legally sell.
Higher Possession Limits
Medical patients can possess more cannabis at once — giving you flexibility and fewer trips to the store.
Personalized Guidance
Our budtenders are trained to help you find the right strain, dose, and delivery method for your specific condition.
Legal Protection
A valid medical card provides additional legal protections under Colorado law that recreational users don't have.
Daily Discounts
Veterans, seniors, EMS, law enforcement — your 15% discount applies every single day, on top of already-low prices.

This place is a med card holder's dream! I came down from Buena Vista because Ascend deleted its med side due to overregulation. Well worth the trip. They had 60 massive jars of flower and every other delivery system invented. Staff was ultra cool- just what you want at a dispensary. Prices hit every size wallet from budget to high roller. Gonna be making the trip in the future. I am tired of being disappointed in BV.
