After some but not all of Eric Jarrin’s marijuana was stolen, the Colorado resident reported what had happened. But because the crime took place in Wyoming, which has some of the strongest anti-cannabis laws in the country, the police officers who responded didn’t bother going after the thief. Instead, they promptly arrested Jarrin and fellow Colorado pal Christopher Rathe, whose actions raise an important question: Were the pair too stoned to remember they were in a state where pot is illegal?

In the wake of the deadliest season at Colorado ski resorts in five years, a national snow-sports safety advocate recently argued in this space for ski areas to share data about injuries and casualties and publish their safety plans. At present, though, there is no legislation pending or in the works at either the state or federal level that would make such actions a requirement for the ski industry, which fears that greater transparency could lead to a flood of lawsuits. Moreover, no state legislators and just one member of Colorado’s Congressional delegation, Representative Jared Polis, appear to have the issue on their radar.
If neighbors were already concerned about traffic, noise and an influx of visitors to their West Washington Park neighborhood, this news won’t make them any happier: The International Church of Cannabis has announced that it will start hosting weddings for fellow Elevationists.

Spring is pothole season in Colorado, with the rainy weather much of the state has experienced over the past few days further exacerbating the vehicle-abusing phenomenon.

Five days into his presidency, Donald Trump told ABC News’s David Muir that DREAMers — young undocumented immigrants that are currently protected under a provision enacted by President Obama called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — needn’t worry about deportation under this new administration. “They shouldn’t be very worried. They…

The chair of Denver’s Citizen Oversight Board, empowered by Mayor Michael Hancock to make recommendations about law enforcement use-of-force incidents and disciplinary decisions, is critical of the mild suspensions given to deputies over the November 2015 jail death of Michael Marshall. Likewise, she’s frustrated that Executive Director of Safety Stephanie O’Malley, whose office dispensed what critics see as wrist slaps in the case, declined to discuss the situation at a recent board meeting.
Most cannabis consumers just want whatever’s on sale or the buds that’ll lift them the highest – but those two qualities rarely co-exist. The few strains that are both inexpensive and elevating, like Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue, quickly become popular on dispensary shelves. Still, while THC Bomb’s price is often in inverse proportion to its THC numbers, it hasn’t yet reached the same level of demand.
As the 2016-17 ski season winds down, Colorado resorts have been linked to fourteen fatalities, the most in five years.

North Korea’s branding of Cory Gardner as a “psychopath” and a “man mixed in with human dirt” is not just a boon for the Colorado senator, whose reputation as a foreign policy hawk will no doubt be enhanced by the rogue nation’s decision to attack him. It’s also among the country’s ten best insults of all time, joining a memorable list shared below.
