With nearly 240 licensed indoor grows in Denver, the city was a fitting host for the hundred-plus cannabis growers, energy consultants and waste experts attending the Cannabis Sustainability Symposium, a two-day conference geared towards increasing efficiency and sustainability in commercial pot.
Colorado’s immigrant rights community has been galvanized by two major developments this week as ICE continues to bear down on undocumented immigrants under the directives of President Trump. Ingrid Encalada Latorre, a well-known sanctuary seeker and immigration activist, decided at the last minute to defy her deportation order; she did…
Former Commerce City police officer John Reinhart, who was accused last year of being a serial groper, has been found guilty in two of the three charges against him. And he’s hardly the first metro-Denver-area cop to be accused of sexual impropriety.
This week marks the return to Denver radio of Kendall B, who’s now helming the morning show for old-school R&B station JAMMIN 101.5. And while he’s very excited about the new opportunity and upbeat about being back on the airwaves in the Mile High City, he wants to make sure his history at KS-107.5, where he teamed with Larry and Kathie J on a mega-successful morning show for fifteen years, isn’t overlooked, as he makes clear in the following in-depth Q&A.
Anyone with the nickname Booger is sure to have a gregarious attitude, booming laugh and sloppy eating habits, all of which are side effects of the strain with the same name.
Jack Phillips of Denver’s Masterpiece Cakeshop is reportedly shocked and appalled that someone asked him to bake a birthday cake for Satan. But was his rejection of this entreaty against the law? A representative of The Satanic Temple, a Salem, Massachusetts-based organization that’s been encouraging folks to make just such a request of Phillips and other bakers who feel they should be allowed to refuse service to gay customers because of their Christian faith, says yes.
A pot-friendly costume party scheduled to take place at a Denver bar last weekend was abruptly canceled after organizers say the Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division threatened the status of the bar’s liquor license. The Chelloween Costume Bash had been scheduled for Saturday, October 14, at Tennyson’s Tap in West Denver. Its Facebook event…
On November 7 — or now, if you vote by mail-in ballot — Denver residents will decide if they want to approve nearly a billion dollars’ worth of bond measures, the heftiest general obligation bond proposal in the city’s history.
Once upon a time, ratings were pretty much the only way of judging commercial success for local television news. But that’s no longer the case. Witness a new report by TV Spy, a broadcasting-industry website, which grades Denver TV outlets and personalities by social-media engagement. Using that measure, 9News is the clear number one, while Kyle Clark, anchor of Newt With Kyle Clark, tops the talent chart in part because of the ways he uses Facebook, Twitter and Instagram beyond simply establishing and extending his brand, as he explains to us in the following Q&A.
I feel the commercialization of Christmas is currently way more out of hand than when Linus van Pelt first dropped Biblical verses on the American public, and you, Walmart, are making things worse. As exhibit A, I offer my visit this past weekend to one of your branches in Northglenn, where I discovered that a huge portion of the store is already devoted to Christmas.
As we’ve reported, Montrose County, on Colorado’s Western Slope, pulled its sex-offender list offline following a recent court ruling in which U.S. District Court Judge Richard Matsch found that such registries constituted cruel and unusual punishment in the case of three plaintiffs. The ruling is specific to the complainants in question, rather than everyone on the roster, and Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman has announced her intention to appeal. So why make the move now? According to a representative from the sheriff’s office in Montrose, a fear of lawsuits.
If popular cannabinoids were named after Snow White’s seven dwarfs, psychoactive THC would likely be Dopey, while nurturing CBD would probably be Doc. CBN, known for its highly sedative qualities, would definitely be Sleepy.
Memo to Hollywood: If you want a feel-good do-good event, do not bring in a comedian who has a reputation as a bad boy. A comedian like George Lopez, who wound up leaving the stage at the Carousel Ball.
Coal mining and coal-fired power plants declined dramatically in Colorado under the Obama administration, leading to a loss of jobs in areas like the North Fork Valley. So how exactly would the loss of the CPP impact Colorado?
The day before the announcement that he’d been hired by 9News, Tom Green, who left a decade-and-a-half stint on Daybreak, the KWGN morning show, in May and has been off the air ever since, posted the photo above on his Facebook page along with a caption that reads, “I tied a tie today…wasn’t sure I’d remember how. I’m kinda proud of myself.”
On Saturday, October 14, in an extraordinarily blatant attempt to bury a controversial decision, the Denver District Attorney’s Office announced that it would not file criminal charges over videos of East High School cheerleaders crying out in agony while being forced into the splits position. But the prospects of the case winding up in court haven’t disappeared. Two families are working with one of Denver’s most dogged and successful civil-rights attorneys, who’s issued a statement that hints strongly at the prospect of future litigation.
During the public hearing portion of the October 16 rulemaking meeting of the Marijuana Enforcement Division, Todd Mitchem intends to testify that Colorado’s rules are going too far.
Last week, after listening to pundit after pundit say your Denver Broncos had virtually no chance of losing to the injury riddled, 0-5 New York Giants on October 15’s Sunday Night Football, this longtime Men of Orange fan sensed disaster. For decades, after all, the Broncos have regularly sucked it up against inferior opponents they were supposed to pummel, especially in prime-time contests, for reasons of overconfidence, a lack of intensity, the assumption that phoning it in would be good enough under the circumstances, or a combination thereof. And damned if they didn’t do just that, falling 23-10 to the pathetic G-men in a game whose outcome unleashed one of the angriest Twitter storms in recent memory, as demonstrated by the collection of tweets below.
Although it’s been available to medical patients for some time, Green Dot’s Black Label Nectar wasn’t sold on the retail side because state licensing regulations that require medical and recreational cultivations remain separate.
What’s in a name? Plenty, according to the RiNo Art District, which was created more than a dozen years ago to celebrate the gritty warehouse area along the Platte River that has since become the hottest neighborhood in Denver.
Last month, I retired from a fifty-year-long career caring for women in Lakewood as an OBGYN. I’ve seen many changes in the way we practice medicine and in how our country approaches women’s health. But in all my years of practice, I am most terrified now for the future of women’s health care in Colorado and in the United States.
Colorado marijuana sales continue to hit new milestones, surpassing $1 billion in sales two months faster in 2017 than the year before, according to tax revenue data from the Colorado Department of Revenue.
