One Love

One Love has quietly become one of the most talked-about smoke shops in Fort Collins, and folks who stop in tend to walk out surprised by just how much is packed inside. The first thing people mention is the smell. Incense and other "smellgoodies" greet you at the door, and the space is a lot bigger than it looks from the street. Regulars will tell you it almost feels bigger on the inside, with bright, colorful displays everywhere and plenty to take your time with.

You'll find vapes and disposable vapes, a solid wall of glass pipes and water pipes, and all the smoking accessories you'd expect, laid out in a store that stays clean and well organized. The people are what bring folks back. Ask anyone who shops here and the name Ron comes up fast. He's the kind of guy who has an answer to every question and then tells you something useful you didn't even think to ask.

Justin gets the same kind of praise for making first-timers feel welcome. Then there's the story people repeat most: someone called around town hunting a hard-to-find product, One Love didn't have it, but Azaria pointed them elsewhere and then called back minutes later, unprompted, to say it had been tracked down in the store. That's the sort of thing that earns a shop its name. One regular even got a forgotten card returned to them after the team went out of their way to make it happen.

Sitting on the north end of town, it's a handy stop if you're heading up toward the northern mountains, and locals point out it's about the only smoke shop you'll find on that side of Fort Collins. Fair prices, a genuinely huge selection, and staff who actually care. One shopper summed it up best: coolest store in town.
