GRAND JUNCTION — After 37 years in law enforcement, Greg Morrison was ready for something new. So the former police chief of Vail, Silverthorne and Grand Junction turned to selling brownies — faux pot brownies.
Morrison opened recently and has taken to the road to hawk his brownies in a retro VW camper van he has named “Bud.”
“Itap a total spoof,” said Morrison, who is not kidding about making a profit from his brownies.
Morrison got the idea for his retirement job while he was traveling the country as a representative for a police radio manufacturer after he retired from law enforcement. He said . He saw an opportunity.
His Totally High Country Brownies are “100 percent cannabis-free,” even with names like Mary Jane Plain, Cheeba Creme Brulee, Acapulco Gold Almond and Alice B. Toklas Toffee.
Morrison hired a baker to make the brownies in a commercial kitchen, and he packages them in boxes featuring the “Baked in Colorado” motto.
He said one of his first customers last week was a prison warden who bought a case of the brownies. He plans to take them to an out-of-state event to hand out as a joke.
