Did you know that there’s a cable channel that shows Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and The Flintstones (and The Smurfs, but fuck that weird blue sausage-fest of a show) after 11 p.m.? I do now, thanks to a wacky sleep schedule that had me up until 4 a.m. one…
Colorado-born comedians Nicole Conlan and Rollie Williams of Stevedore Comedy have hit the nail on the head with a satirical public-service announcement that’s gone viral. “Colorado Immigration Crisis: Keep These People Out” looks at the transplant issue that’s been on the minds of many Coloradans since stoner immigrants began flooding…
Dear Stoner: I just got some pot brownies, and I’m not planning to ingest them for two weeks. Do you think the potency will still be the same, and if they’ll be okay to eat? Can I heat them up if they go hard?Tasnim Dear Tasnim: We’ve talked to multiple…
Last week, we told you about Adams County’s efforts to shut down iBake Denver, a marijuana club that’s operated for more than three years. The co-owner of iBake, who goes by the name Thurlow Weed, promises not to give up without a fight “even if it takes our life savings…
We recently posted suggestions for how Donald Trump and/or Hillary Clinton should shape their marijuana policies if elected president. The person offering the advice is the Brookings Institute’s John Hudak, and his recommendations work equally well for either candidate despite their vast differences in approach. Trump, for instance, has talked…
Do you have a friend you love with qualities you hate? Someone who’s obnoxious and rarely pays his debts and would get a punch in the face if he were anyone else, but somehow combines his undesirable traits in a lovable package that works only for him? My friend Kyle,…
Dear Stoner: My brother has cancer, and I think medical marijuana would be better for his pain than Oxycontin, which can be addictive. If you were looking for advice on what strains to use, where would you go? Marge Dear Marge: Opiate painkillers work for many people, but I’ve also…
Since 2013, as we reported last year, iBake Denver, a marijuana smoking club, has been operating openly and without problems at its location in Adams County. But now, Adams County is trying to shut it down — and Denver NORML is crying foul. We wrote about iBake in May 2015,…
Donald Trump has consistently criticized Colorado’s legalization of limited recreational marijuana sales. And Hillary Clinton’s cannabis policies are seen as less progressive than those of rival Bernie Sanders. Yet most observers believe that in November, either Trump or Clinton will be elected President of the United States. And despite their widely…
Last week, Santino Walter, co-producer of this year’s 4/20 Rally at Civic Center Park, predicted that the event, which had been rescheduled for May 21 after the original bash was postponed due to a snowstorm, would be a big success despite taking place more than a month later than planned…
Police believe a recent home invasion in Golden in which a middle-school teacher was critically wounded happened because three suspects looking for $10,000 in drugs and cash went to the wrong address. Initial reports didn’t specify that the drug in question was marijuana, but plenty of those who responded to our…
Despite working for a media outlet known for its up-to-date information on Denver’s restaurants and bars, I’m incredibly unoriginal when it comes to choosing new places to take women. Luckily for me, they rarely call back for a second date, so I don’t have to think of that many. The…
Dear Stoner: I’m thinking about quitting smoking flower. I’ll probably eat edibles, but I want my lungs to stay healthy. Will they heal themselves if I quit? J.R. Huff ’n’ Stuff Dear J.R.: Good for you, man. As much as I love consuming cannabis and all that it does, there’s…
Last month, we reported that the Denver 4/20 Rally at Civic Center Park, which was postponed due to a snowstorm, had been rescheduled for Saturday, May 21, with original headliners Wiz Khalifa and Lil Wayne still aboard. The 21st is now just days away, and Santino Walter, whose Santino Walter Productions…
In recent years, we’ve written plenty about Wyoming’s unhappiness over Colorado’s marijuana laws. Back in January 2015, Wyoming Governor Matt Mead said his state wouldn’t be joining a (failed) lawsuit filed against Colorado by Oklahoma and Nebraska over Amendment 64, which legalized limited recreational cannabis sales here. However, he made…
We’re still collecting comments on a recent post that attempted to pin down why the price of marijuana has been falling at Colorado dispensaries. Plenty of readers have offered their own theories, but this one goes beyond explanation to offer predictions about where prices will go from here. Spoiler alert:…
We recently posted about a new American Automobile Association study that concluded Colorado’s marijuana driving standard, which establishes intoxication at 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood, is not based on science. This came as no surprise to many of our readers. Cannabis advocates have long argued that the…
Going out for a night on the town but pretty sure you’re going to be partaking in cannabis? Loopr to the rescue. The “mobile cannabis lounge” is a marijuana-friendly concept bus ride, similar to The Hopper, that’s like a shiny new Uber for stoners. Loopr revved up this week, with rides from 4 p.m. to…
South Broadway and north Denver attract all the attention with their concentration of pot shops, but the herbal haven along a certain stretch of Evans Avenue is nothing to scoff at, either. The area has eight or nine dispensaries — including Cross Genetics, Sacred Seed and Sante — sprinkled on…
Earlier this month, we told you about a provision hidden within the so-called Sunset bill that, in practical terms, would let marijuana tourists purchase four times as much cannabis during a single purchase than is currently allowable under Colorado law. That legislation, known as House Bill 16-1261, has now passed both houses…
The amount dispensaries charge for an ounce of cannabis in Colorado varies radically from place to place. As evidence, check out the latest Colorado numbers from PriceofWeed.com, which uses a crowd-sourcing approach to gathering its data. The priciest figures for high quality marijuana are more than twice as hefty as…
Dear Stoner: I have a metal pipe that I can unscrew and clean, and the other day I had a great idea: What if I put a nug in there to get nice and sticky after smoking a few bowls? Will it be more potent? JustBlaze Dear Blaze: Now I…
