As it turns out, German shepherds have a pretty fucking good sense of smell. I learned this after a quick flight from my honeymoon in Jamaica last week to the lovely Miami International Airport. Miami isn’t really known for their tolerant stance on drugs, as Jose Duran at our sister…

Last year, MariTrust got called out by Kind Reviews for selling spider mite-infested herb. I’m glad to say I didn’t find any bugs when I recently checked out its herb; the shop seems to be selling clean meds. That doesn’t mean I’ll hurry back, but at least customers can be…

I like things verde. Salsa verde on a breakfast burrito makes life better and Mesa Verde National Park is one of earth’s most beautiful places. And last week, I found plenty of my favorite kind of verde at another verde to like: Verde Wellness Center…

Last week, in advance of today’s Senate debate over a bill that would set THC driving limits, I had blood drawn (for a second time) to see just how much active THC was in my blood even after a night of sleep and not smoking for fifteen hours. As it…

This dispensary has closed. I stopped by Urban Cannabis last year, but never ended up writing a review about it. At the time, they didn’t have much on their shelves from their own garden, and what they did have was overpriced and not worth the digital ink to report. This…

Two weeks ago, with Rep Claire Levy’s marijuana DUI bill headed for debate in the Senate, I went and got poked with needles in hopes of finding out just how much THC is in my blood when I’m sober. Unfortunately, I still don’t have an answer. Two weeks ago, I…

After a week, I finally got the results from my blood test last Friday — and unfortunately, the lab didn’t give me the information I’d asked for. Fortunately, the state senate’s judiciary committee just pushed back discussion of HB1261, also known as the marijuana DUI bill, by a week. According…

I guess you could classify me as a pretty heavy ganja smoker. To quote Zach Galifianakis, “Sometimes I smoke so much pot that I forget to smoke pot.” Seriously though, I medicate at least twice a day and I’m fairly sure I have more than 5 nanograms of THC per…

Colorado cannabis is better than anything Amsterdam’s got, and the medicine here is on par with, if not better than, what is coming out of California. While we already knew that here in Colorado, it was still cool to hear those words come out of High Times editor Danny Danko’s…

This will be a weekend to remember, though I doubt I’ll remember much of it. The High Times Medical Cannabis Cup is at the Exdo Event Center this weekend. If you have trouble finding it, look for the rising cloud of deliciously fragrant smoke northeast of downtown…

The grower-owner of A Cut Above, a guy who goes by the name of Debo Newshoes, is one of the more entertaining “friends” I have on Facebook. He constantly posts photos of his floor-to-ceiling hydroponic trees, and lately the pictures have been getting better and better. So after he posted…

The concern for MMJ patients living in subsidized housing is that while the state says they can puff for their pain, the federal government, which pays their rent, doesn’t recognize cannabis as medicine. But are the feds loosening up?…

Four different people have told me that they either circled the block or walked right past Good Chemistry on Colfax numerous times before locating the rather nondescript dispensary. I did both. The pot shop is in a narrow space in an old retail building, a block east of the capitol…

For the first time in my life, I actually care about filling out a Sweet Sixteen bracket in March — and it has nothing to do with basketball. Sixteen strains of medical marijuana were chosen for the March Reefer Madness tournament, all from the gardens of the Releaf Center. Much…

This dispensary has closed. I’ve been seeing so much crap herb in shops lately that when I finally found some chronic at Denver Patients Group, I completely overlooked how pricey the shop can be for non-members…

I could feel the guy across from me in the waiting room at Platte Valley staring at me, his leg twitching up and down nervously. “You’re going to really like this place, man. They have the best weed in town.” I hadn’t even seen the herb yet, and I knew…

The only thing that kept me from going into Kind Love, formerly Herbal Connections, were the ridiculous ads on the former gym’s building: closeups of a man’s abs with text reading “9 out of 10 women prefer this to shopping” and a woman’s-abs version declaring “9 out of 10 men…

Developer Mickey Zeppelin says he isn’t a public official and did not violate any law by discussing the location of a grow facility in the River North neighborhood, where he’s a major property owner…

Dan Emmans, owner of Grass Roots Health and Wellness Center, says that Denver City Council’s proposed changes to the zoning rules medical marijuana growhouses have little to do with pot and a lot to do with politics. On Tuesday night, councilmembers will decide whether to grandfather in growhouses set up…

A dispensary owner and grower leasing a warehouse in a neighborhood at the heart of the current Denver City Council zoning discussions plans to file a lawsuit alleging that developer Mickey Zeppelin, Councilwoman Judy Montero and former Councilwoman Susan Barnes-Gelt not only interfered with his ability to conduct business, but…

This dispensary has closed. Last year on The Daily Show, I quipped that dispensaries are like restaraunts: Some people want a nice steak house, while others can settle for McDonald’s. Patients Plus is the latter — a fast-food marijuana stop…
