Dear Stoner: Does the pot-smoking measure have a chance in November? What will it do? Hopeful Dear Hopeful: Although “Responsible Use Denver” — the NORML proposal to allow licensing for private marijuana clubs and special events — fell short of the 4,726 valid signatures needed to make the ballot, the…

Earlier this month, we told you about the first annual O.penVAPE Open, a charity golf tournament scheduled to take place on Monday, September 12, and noted that former NFL players would be among those hitting the links. One of the most intriguing participants on the schedule is Lance Johnstone, who…
I remember my first experience with Gorilla Glue. I was twelve, and it was in Ms. Toth’s science class. No, I wasn’t some middle-school loser lighting up in class; I was the middle-school loser gluing his rookie teacher’s mug to her desk. Strong stuff, that Gorilla Glue. It lasted longer…
Dear Stoner: I see these scam ads on Craigslist that rip off folks just looking for a little relief. It used to be just regular face-to-face local delivery, but now it’s a constant scam pretending that they’ll ship products out of state. Does any police department ever track down these…
The cannabis industry has become a growing component of Colorado’s economy — and it’s also become a major contributor to charitable efforts. The Clinic held its seventh annual Clinic Charity Classic at Arrowhead Golf Club last week; every year proceeds from the tournament are donated to aid in the fight against…
“Tastes so good, makes a grown man cry. Sweet. Cherry. Pie.” Those hair-metal lyrics compare a diner dessert to a woman’s genitalia — but I can’t refrain from singing the line whenever I come across a certain strain. However, I didn’t take the time to explain this to the budtender,…
Dear Stoner: I’m in the midst of a devastating family situation and am so blindsided by grief and stress that I need something to calm me down and help me fall asleep. I don’t wish to smoke, but am open to other suggestions. Elizabeth Dear Elizabeth: If this situation is…
Andrew Schrot, the CEO of Denver-based Blue Kudu, moved to Colorado from Tampa, Florida, with his brother in the summer of 2010, excited to get involved in the cannabis industry. “We thought about edibles because at that time there wasn’t a consistent, quality product that patients could rely upon,” Schrot recalls. When…

For more than half-a-decade, administrators at CU Boulder have done everything possible to insure that the university no longer appears among the top ten on the Princeton Review’s annual list of reefer madness schools. And once again, they’ve failed. As usual, CU Boulder is on the 2016 roster — and…
He co-founded one of the first dispensaries in Denver and, earlier this month, he sold it to Willie Nelson for his Willie’s Reserve operation.

In April, we told you about Meagan Patrick, whose pre-school-age daughter, Addelyn, is an epilepsy sufferer who’s made huge strides since she began using medical cannabis treatments. However, Addelyn’s public preschool didn’t allow MMJ to be administered — although liquid Valium is okay. House Bill 16-1373, co-sponsored by Representative Jonathan Singer, was…
Bubba Kush is one baaaaad strain. Bubba Kush will grab your money, knock you out, and leave you weak in the knees when you finally wake up. Bubba Kush will take your mother out for a nice dinner and never call her again. Bubba Kush don’t give a fuck. Bubba…
Dear Stoner: I’ve tried sativas and indicas, and they’re all fine and dandy, but I’m looking for something more in the middle. What are some good hybrids that are actually hybrids? Happy Jack Dear Jack: All hybrids are actually hybrids. In fact, nearly all of the strains you’ll find nowadays…
For years, we’ve written about reports of marijuana profiling. The claims consistently maintain that law enforcers in jurisdictions beyond this state are more apt to stop vehicles for marijuana-related searches if they’re outfitted with Colorado license plates. Such tactics were always controversial. Now, a federal court says they’re totally unjustified. In…

Dear Stoner: Why does smoking weed make you hungry? Like, does science know why? Stewie Dear Stewie: The munchies are real, man. Although no one could definitively point to a brain reaction and say “There it is” for a long time, by 2015 marijuana’s ability to increase appetite was already…
There’s a new marijuana competition in town that aims to crown the best cultivator in Colorado. “We hope you guys are ready to grow some really fire weed,” says Sohum Shah, co-founder of The Grow Off, the self-proclaimed “quantitative quest for the best.” The Grow Off is designed as a…
The folks at O.penVAPE, a Colorado-based manufacturer of vaporizer devices, cartridges and other marijuana-related products, were disappointed when the Denver Broncos declined to consider their proposal to purchase naming rights for Mile High Stadium.
