Colorado's marijuana stores offered smoking hot deals to Thanksgiving and Black Friday shoppers, which they have re-dubbed "Green Friday."

One store in Denver was offering a limited number of ounces of marijuana at $50 each, a significantly lower price than that of market value, USA Today reports. Typically, buyers would pay a much heftier $250 per ounce price.

Other stores offered discounted pot; some included deals on pre-rolled joints.

This weekend is the first Black Friday since Colorado's recreational marijuana shops have been open for business since the state legalized the product on Jan. 1, although medical marijuana had been allowed for several years prior.

Multiple store owners said they were surprised by customers' interest in snagging deals.

"We were expecting a very quiet day, but when everyone else jumped on it, we definitely didn't want to be left behind," Ryan Pratt, manager of Boulder's Helping Hands Herbals, said when asked about his sale pricing on Wednesday. "We're going to be prepared."

Besides the deep cuts to prices on marijuana "bud," stores also offered other discounts on pot-infused food products, know as edibles, to couple with all of the holiday eating.

One store seen advertising on the Denver Post's website called the day a "Danksgiving" sale.

These edible items include single-serving pumpkin pies and pumpkin-spice mocha chocolate bars all containing varying levels of pot in the baked goods.

Other distributors offered deals for customers who brought in canned goods for the local homeless shelter.

Store owners and workers said they expected the crowds at more traditional retailers and to be competing with bars and liquor stores that planned to be open on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. However, they are happy that their businesses are also seeing sales boosts.

"It's regular old retail," Pratt added. "It's just that this happened to be illegal a year ago."
