Dear Stoner: Where can I find house rentals to cultivate marijuana with a landlord who will approve? Jeannette Dear Jeannette: It’d take some serious balls to ask if you can cultivate pot in the property owner’s basement right before signing the lease — and those big balls would probably get…

With so many pot shops in Denver, I sometimes feel overwhelmed when trying to pick the next dispensary to visit. What part of town haven’t I been to lately? Have I already written about that shop? Is the menu filled with strains that I’ve already reviewed? I know what you’re…

Dear Stoner: What’s the best container for pot? I see all these expensive jars but have yet to find anything that works better than my $2 Mason jar. Quail Dear Quail: For some sad reason, many potheads fail to see your wisdom. Maybe people just get bored with Mason jars…

Ever get off work right at rush hour, take one look at the jammed roads, say “Nope, not today,” and then head for the bar rather than home? That’s how I was feeling last week when I saw that two lanes on Broadway were shut at 4 p.m. Already sick…

Dear Stoner: I booked my hotel near the old Cannabis Cup venue. Will there be stoner buses going to Pueblo? I’m mad at High Times for moving it — two-hour drive, with cops! Billy Dear Billy: I feel your pain, brother. Like drinking and driving, smoking pot while driving is…

I’m a person who doesn’t carry a lot of cash, because having it enables my weak-minded impulsiveness. I’ve usually got enough money to cover my (bargain) meals, but I still often find myself cashless when driving toward a dispensary I’ve never visited before. I was worried that I was about…

Dear Stoner: Where can I find cannabis-friendly events around Denver? I have a business in cannabis and would like to host a smoke-friendly event, but I’m not sure where to look. Tarik Dear Tarik: Hosting a cannabis-friendly event in Colorado is pretty easy, but hosting a pot-smoking-friendly event? Not so…

When it was revealed in November that Snoop Dogg had partnered with the LivWell dispensary chain to sell his own brand of cannabis products, the announcement provoked two reactions: intrigue and contempt. Intrigue from those who appreciated the shrewd venture and the image of Tha Doggfather legally pushing pot products,…

Dear Stoner: What is Thai stick? Is it just an old strain of chronic from the ’70s? The Berg Dear Berg: Be ready to take notes if an old-timer ever tells you about the time he smoked a Thai stick, because it was probably crazier than any blunt you’ve ever…

In a sea of generically named pot shops labeled with words like “apothecary,” “alternative,” “herbal” and so on, anything original is sure to stand out. To be honest, though, I hadn’t noticed how clever Terrapin Care Station’s name was until a friend was playing a Grateful Dead album one lazy…

Dear Stoner: I like the pain relief and sleep aid that CBD offers, and I even enjoy a little psychoactive effect, but I still get way too high after a hit of weed. Is there any high-CBD product that’ll get me high but not too high? Jonah Dear Jonah: If…

Highland, the Highlands, the Northside — whatever the hell you want to call it — has become the poster child for Denver gentrification. But that hasn’t stopped a lot of us from going to one of the neighborhood’s trendy restaurants or trying to squeeze into Williams & Graham for a…

Dear Stoner: Does marijuana help with depression? Searching Dear Searching: Unfortunately, the answer is not a simple yes or no. There’s such a wide range of studies on the subject that trying to wrap your head around it can make your hair fall out — or leave you more depressed…

Much to the dismay of medical marijuana patients, Colorado Alternative Medicine closed a little more than a year ago after its owner got in trouble with the state Marijuana Enforcement Division for some forged documents. The dispensary’s potent, rare strains had made the cottage-style dispensary a regular stop for cannabis…

Dear Stoner: What is pipe resin made of? It’s not what the dispensaries sell, is it? Brick Dear Brick: Lord, no. The black, gooey stuff that’s left in your pipe after smoking buds is basically tar, with some ash, carbon and a little THC mixed in. Igniting cannabis flower burns…

You’ll never hear me complain about this job, though I am slightly annoyed by the steady stream of texts from friends who ask, “What’s a good dispensary to go to?” Actually, the follow-up messages are what irk me, because after taking the time to send a few recommendations specific to…

Dear Stoner: Do marijuana allergies exist? If so, what happens if you’re allergic to marijuana and smoke it? Mick Dear Mick: Marijuana can cure many ills, but like pollen, peanuts or grass, it’s also capable of making some people swell up and turn red. According to a story in U.S…

One unfortunately common dilemma for Denverites and tourists alike is finding a place to puff when out on the town. On top of that whole illegal thing, smoking marijuana (or anything else, for that matter) in public places or venues can be rude and detrimental to the health of others…

Only a fool ignores his audience, and foolish is how I felt after finally visiting Green Man — after failing to follow the recommendations of many readers for months. It wasn’t like I didn’t believe them; a friend of mine once had me try some Ghost Train Haze that he’d…

Dear Stoner: Can you list some shops that have a good selection of edibles? Also, can you recommend something to eat along with edibles so that they have the full effect? Gracias! Bar Hopper 62 Dear Bar Hopper: I go to a new dispensary every week for my Strain Gang…

Construction on the clusterfuck that is West Sixth Avenue kept me away from the west end of town longer than it should have. Say what you will about Edgewater and Lakewood, but both the food and the cannabis over there could be some of metro Denver’s better-kept secrets. While stuffing…

Dear Stoner: The “natives” here like to throw around the word “transplant” a lot — with some vitriol, I might add. I’ve never heard this term where I come from (California and New York), and was wondering if it had anything to do with the weed revolution going on here…
