To puff, or not to puff? That is the only challenge you'll face during a stoned showing of Bowls With the Bard, a production of cannabis-friendly Shakespeare plays in Denver. The next round of BWB is almost upon us, and it's bringing out Billy's big guns with The Tragedy of Macbeth. The stretch of plays will run through September 14 at the Coffee Joint, Denver's first licensed cannabis lounge, but that's not the only pot-friendly action taking place around town.
