— What we can tell you
“A Lower Highlands dispensary widely noted in public coverage as one of the nation’s first Black, veteran-owned cannabis operations.”
Simply Pure sits on the corner of Tejon and West 32nd in Denver’s Lower Highlands, a short drive west of RiNo. From public sources and its own site, it is run by Wanda James and Scott Durrah, frequently credited as among the first Black, veteran marijuana license holders in the country, with a long-running focus on equity and ownership in the industry.
Publicly it reads as a small, mission-driven shop rather than a big chain, the kind of neighborhood counter where the story behind the license is part of the draw. We haven’t visited, but its reputation across listings and press leans toward a considered, community-rooted feel.
We haven’t been in yet. This is researched from public sources — the shop’s own site and public directories — and written up like we’d tell a friend. If that changes, we’ll say so. Confirm the details with the shop before you go.
