This dispensary has closed. Alpine Herbal Wellness isn’t trying to attract the average-Joe medical patient with its slick, art gallery-meets-medical clinic atmosphere. I picture affluent baby-boomers walking to it from their million-dollar townhomes, Bernese mountain dogs in tow…
Owners of a day care center on 32nd Avenue told 9News reporter Will Ripley on Monday that they were “shocked” to find out The Clinic was opening its third medical marijuana center down the street. Their gripe, they say, is that the shop violates a Denver ordinance that forces MMCs…
As Michael Roberts reported earlier today, the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division announced it would be extending employee licensing deadlines because the office was being overwhelmed with applications. We’ve also been hearing from the applicants themselves about the overwhelming waits and hundreds who’ve been turned away before the doors technically even…
This dispensary has closed. To me, summer is the season of bike rides to Rockies games, barbecues, disc golf, and smoking joints under beautiful Colorado skies. The latter being one of my favorites, I’ve been looking for new strains to twist up and enjoy, and after checking out Mayflower Wellness’s…
Last week, the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division released a packet of compliance forms intended to help dispensaries determine if they’re in line with the state MMJ law, which goes into effect on July 1. And while the forms were expected, some recipients say they contain details they weren’t aware of…
WILLIE NELSON at RED ROCKS | 06.21.11″While Willie Nelson is still a solid player and performer, seeing him these days is about nostalgia for a lot of people. These aren’t the best versions of songs like “Crazy” and “Aint It Funny,” but seeing Nelson up on stage performing them is…
While most cannabis supporters in Colorado agree that legalization is the ultimate goal, there’s heavy disagreement on how to get there. Last month, attorney Brian Vicente and Mason Tvert fired up first, submitting ballot language to the state. That prompted an outcry from other groups, including the Cannabis Therapy Institute,…
It’s fitting that Wednesday night’s debate between Colorado cannabis activists has been dubbed “Round One.” The event is being advertised as a “lively and friendly” debate — but if it’s as impassioned and fiery as the comments on our marijuana blogs have been, it might be closer to a royal…
There’s nothing worse for a pot-smoking music fan than to find your concert joints crumbled into a broken mess at the bottom of your favorite hiding spot. All that work rolling them beforehand, stashing them in your hat and making it through security is gone, and you’ve got to spend…
Forty years ago today, President Richard Nixon declared war on drugs — and according to protesters who gathered at Skyline Park earlier today, that’s forty years too many for a failed policy that’s done more damage than good not only to America, but to countries around the world…
This dispensary has closed. Given the cellar part of the name Bud Cellar (and my stoned imagination), I had grand visions of the shop. I imagined being led down a spiral staircase to a dank, stone-walled, dimly lit basement filled with chilled, curing jars of cannabis sitting next to aging…
This dispensary has closed. I met Cannasseur manager Matt Berger briefly a few months ago at a party, which would normally put a shop out of the running for a review, since I try and keep it anonymous. But after seeing the level of chronic coming out of their store,…
This dispensary has closed. Ganja prices have dropped at area dispensaries over the past few months, and quality has gone up as shops dial in their grows and start pumping out gorgeous, stinky buds. Emerald Pathway needs to catch on to that trend to survive, because selling $50 eighths of…
This dispensary has closed. Rocky Mountain Farmacy didn’t look like anything special. Based on what I thought was the size of the place from the outside, it came across as a weed Walmart. Like they had sixty strains on their shelves and cases full of pipes and accessories, but none…
Mile High Kush Expo, held this past weekend at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, was summed up for me in the ticket line before I went in. “You’re charging people $20 to basically go to a big head shop,” the dreadlocked dude in front of me told the ticket…
This dispensary has closed. Green Meadows Wellness’ Steve Meadows is a gray-haired, gruff-voiced man of few words — beyond the subject of Otis, the Italian mastiff shop dog…
My health issues come and go in waves. Some weeks I’ll be fine, others I’ll spend my days nauseated and my nights waking up every few hours with a stabbing pain in my stomach. This past week has fallen into the latter category, so the last thing I wanted to…
I’ll be a guest on the Caplis and Silverman program at 3:30 today on KHOW 630 AM. The two lawyers-turned-radio hosts will be discussing the THC/DUI bill that failed to muster Senate approval this week…
For a patient, knowing a strain’s total THC and CBD content ― the two main compounds responsible for everything from pain relief to making Zeppelin that much cooler ― is important; when you’re trying to find helpful strains, their chemical makeup is a more useful tool than looking for crystal-covered…
Editor’s note: Medical marijuana critic William Breathes just returned from a honeymoon in Jamaica. Read his first two trip diary entries here and here, and check out part three below. My vacation was relaxing — aside from getting constantly hassled to buy herb and my run-in with a Customs drug…
RiNo Supply Company has a pretty ambiguous name, which is good considering how few people in the River North (RiNo) neighborhood seem to favor medical pot. But instead of getting kicked out, such places should be embraced…
Editor’s note: Medical marijuana critic William Breathes just returned from a honeymoon in Jamaica. Read his first trip diary entry here, and check out part two below. The minute you get off the plane in Negril, someone is there to sell you herb…
