Momentum is a hard thing to ignore. Bigger and better usually leads to more interest and attention, and that’s what Colorado Harvest Company has been gaining as it continues to expand. With new stores this year in Denver and Aurora and another Aurora location on the way, the snowballing-in-size dispensary…
Dear Stoner: What’s the best way to renew your medical card and avoid a disruption in service? What if you don’t have the cash flow to stock up before the wait? Mario Dear Mario: The answer is simple: Take care of it early. You don’t want to be the kid…
A local support group spent its Saturday handing out a medication that many of Colorado’s veterans are scared to apply for: cannabis. In an effort to supply Denver’s veterans with alternative medication for conditions like chronic pain, post-traumatic stress and insomnia, Grow for Vets— a support group dedicated to supplying…
Is Colorado’s experiment with marijuana legalization a success story or an abject failure? Depends on who you ask. Studies from organizations such as the Brookings Institution have praised the state’s roll-out of cannabis-related rules and regulations. But law-enforcement groups such as the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area continue to…
It’s hard for a lot of people over the age of six to get excited for a drive around the neighborhood to check out Christmas lights. Believe it or not, some of us would rather just stay at home. But for those who have lost their holiday spirit, the Tacky…
Remember when the hottest girl/guy in school became single? Or when your celebrity crush got a divorce? The irrational, opportunistic rise of elation you experienced then is similar to what I felt after learning that Kind Love is now open for recreational sales — except in this case, I actually…
Dear Stoner: Can I grow pot in my back yard? Jack the Stack Dear Jack: Yes, you can — with a catch. Colorado law allows residents over the age of 21 to grow up to six plants (up to twelve per household; only half can be in the flowering stage)…
Is the word “marijuana” offensive? Over the years, plenty of people have pressed this argument — and recent indications suggest that the debate could be heating up again in Colorado and beyond. A new article from the Summit Daily goes after “Colorado stoner stereotypes,” with various business owners in the Aspen…
We recently posted about four young men arrested in Missouri for possessing five grams or less of Colorado marijuana products — an offense that carries a maximum sentence of seven years in jail in that state. Plenty of readers were aghast at this possibility, particularly when it’s perfectly legal for…
Event planners must think stoners are still must comatose after Thanksgiving, because the pot affairs are pretty slim this week. Besides the people putting on Danksgiving, that is. In their logic, the dates 4/20 plus 7/10 equal 11/30, so why not give edibles their own day shortly after America gorges…
Here in Colorado, adult possession of marijuana in small amounts has been legalized. In plenty of other states, however, possession remains against the law, and violators face potentially massive penalties, including years in jail. For example, a quartet of young men recently pulled over in Missouri and caught allegedly transporting cannabis products…
On your daily route, it’s easy to drive by landmarks without giving them much thought. After all, you’ll see the same things tomorrow, so why think about them now? It’s the same principle that has you wanting to go somewhere new for dinner rather than the Chipotle by your house,…
Dear Stoner: Every time I’ve purchased pot here, it has been either pre-packaged or placed in a plastic container that lets the air out, if it’s not already bone-dry by the time I buy it. Am I going to the wrong dispensaries, or do Colorado dispensaries not care about fresh…
In a recent post, we noted that four young men accused of possessing less than five grams of Colorado marijuana could be sentenced to as many as seven years behind bars under the cannabis laws in Missouri, where they were busted. But folks don’t have to travel nearly that far…
Here in Colorado, adult possession of marijuana in small amounts has been legalized. In plenty of other states, however, such activities remain against the law, and violators face potentially massive penalties, including years in jail. Take the story of four young men — Brandon T. Stoll, 21, Zachary McDaniel, 22, Chad…
The Denver City Council could put a hold on new marijuana dispensaries this week as it considers a two-year moratorium on medical marijuana businesses and a two-year extension on dispensary license transitions. If both are approved when the council’s Business Development Committee meets on Tuesday, only medical marijuana dispensaries open…
We recently posted about an anti-pot Colorado cop’s address to lawmakers in Nebraska, where legislation allowing medical marijuana has been introduced. Among other things, Thornton Police Department Sergeant James Gerhardt, the law-enforcer in question, maintained that legalization of limited cannabis sales in Colorado is actually draining police resources rather than…
Being surrounded by so many pot shops in Denver can encourage procrastination. No longer do I have to sit by the phone and wait for a flaky dealer to call me back; I can go buy weed whenever I want. Whenever I want before 7 p.m., anyway, thanks to Denver’s…
Dear Stoner: How would I test marijuana for pesticides? Mike C. Dear Mike: Unfortunately, you can’t spot pesticides with a trained eye and handheld microscope, as you can powdery mildew, mold or spider mites. Finding chemical residue left behind by pesticides requires processes like gas chromatography or polymerase chain reaction…
Changes might be coming for Colorado cannabis physicians and the patients they serve – but at least those docs and their clients will have had a say. On November 19, the Colorado Medical Board will consider, and likely approve, the final draft of guidelines for medical marijuana physicians that would…
Last week, in a post that explored how likely people are to get caught if they send marijuana through the U.S. mail, we noted that anti-cannabis law-enforcement officials who no longer get as much attention as they once did in Colorado are finding eager audiences in other states. A case…
The lineup is nearly full in this week’s Cannabis Calendar, with anything from pot anthropology to a mixer for single stoners, and almost everything in between. On Monday, November 16, All Times High Events and Rocky Mountain Singles are hosting a mixer at an undisclosed location for those that RSVP…
