Ganga Lasagna

You can get high on life, or on lasagna.

It was only a matter of time before dispensaries started to expand on the pot edibles available to the patient.  Most have brownies or cookies, but if you want a whole meal a la pot, Ganja Gourmet  is there for you.

A dispensary on the outside, The Ganja Gourmet focuses on marijuana edibles for your insides.  

A licensed patient used to be able to buy the already-cooked food, have it reheated on-site, and then eat it there like most restaurants. But since a recent change in Denver laws, you can’t eat or smoke anything onsite. So Ganja now offers take-out. 

Hungry patrons can go home and eat until they are very full and high. Foods available include garlic hummus and Ganja Ganoush, a combo made with weed-infused olive oil and served with pita bread.  

The garlic hummus is full of tasty flavor that covers the taste of pot well.  If hummus really isn’t your thing, Ganjanade (ganja tapenade) with French bread is also available for a starter dish—it’s similar to the marinara dipping sauce from a pizza place. 

Well-known for its pizza, Ganja also excels at lasagna. Each bite offers rich, moist, cheesy goodness accompanied by subtle Italian spices and lean beef. The portion is huge enough to share with a fellow pothead.  

Loaded with hearty toppings like bell peppers, chicken, spinach, and sausage, then covered with feta and mozzarella cheese, the carnivore pizza is filling and flavorful. 

In addition, the crust was moist and thick, similar to the way Blackjack makes its crust without that weird dry taste afterward.  One slice is an average size, but the price isn’t. Each slice sells for $12.00, which can be worth it because it makes the eater really high. 

If there’s any room left or you haven’t passed out yet, there are several choices for desert.  There are seven flavors of cheesecake, almond horns, and chocolate cups. There is also a full menu of treats for diabetic patients.  

Just about every bite is tasty and medicated.  The only downside to the dishes is that you have to reheat the food, and you don’t get to enjoy it restaurant-style.
