The CDPHE's "Good to Know" campaign, aimed at educated Colorado's adult residents and visitors about safe and responsible marijuana use, will be unveiled at a noon press conference today at the CDPHE Operations Center, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver.
Grab a few friends and learn how to paint in a cannabis-friendly environment every Saturday this month with local artist Heidi Keyes during one of her Puff, Pass & Paintclasses. Intimate group sessions are $50 per person in her downtown studio, and private lessons are available upon request. Participants must be 21-and-older, and although cannabis consumption (bring your own) is encouraged, it's not required. Click here for more information.
