Dear Stoner: I really enjoy eating my cannabis to help deal with chronic muscle and nerve pain, but the price of edibles is starting to put a dent in my bank account. I’ve never made my own pot food. Is it easy to do? What about finding marijuana to cook…
Ah, the joys of the Internet. Now all it takes is a quick search to see what your fellow ganja smokers are up to, and what pieces they are smoking out of. Browsing pictures of dry pipes last night, we came up with this list of our top ten Stoner…
This dispensary has closed. Based on Boulder RX’s location, pretty much in the heart of the tourist-trap Pearl Street Mall, I figured it would be another high-priced, low-quality bud shop relying on location alone to sell herb. But while the prices were high, everything else about the shop was much,…
Dear Stoner: I am sixty. I first smoked in 1974. I smoke very rarely now, but still (want to) enjoy it. The problem: Everything I try these days is way too strong. Even one hit is too much. I don’t get joy; I get panic. It feels almost like tripping,…
The Denver City Council has agreed to consider a ban on recreational marijuana businesses in April, joining dozens of Colorado cities and counties mulling similar proposals. In addition, it’s Amendment 64 Special Issues Committee will put proposed Denver regulations on hold until spring, so it can collect more input. But…
After a significant dip in patient numbers from October to November 2012, we questioned whether the number of registered medical marijuana patients would decline steadily over the coming months, as some critics and activists have surmised. But new statistics released this week show the decline in active patients wasn’t permanent…
Green Mountain Care is one of the few dispensaries south of East Hampden Avenue and west of I-25 — square in the middle of what is otherwise a dispensary no-man’s land. The shop isn’t on any main strip, and aside from the neon “Open” sign in the window, it looks…
Dear Stoner: I’m not a fan of edibles, and smoking is killing my throat. I keep seeing vaporizers in shops, but they’re all pretty expensive. Is it really worth the $400 for something that looks like a turkey bag UFO? I.B. Coffin Dear Mr. Coffin: We feel your pain. Literally…
Lafayette City Council unanimously voted last night to pass an eight-month moratorium on all marijuana-related businesses, including the city’s lone cannabis-friendly coffee shop. Veronica Carpio, owner of the Front Tea and Arts Shop — which allows adults 21 and over to use vaporizers during certain hours of the week –…
Tickets are on sale for what is being billed as the first-ever High Times Cannabis Cup on American soil, here in Denver over the 4/20 weekend. Since our first post on the event, the folks at High Times magazine have decided to include everyone in the festivities — almost. Unfortunately…
Terrapin Care Station has grown up since my first visit nearly two years ago, swapping the patchouli and tapestry atmosphere for something more professional — like a college kid who bought a pair of puffy brown couches and started framing his Further and Railroad Earth posters instead of tacking them…
Dear Stoner: I am a registered nurse, and I plan to continue being one. I also enjoy lighting up and would like to get a medical card — but not at the expense of my job. I have been clean for any job testing, and I realize that the need…
If laughter is the best medicine, then Jason Mewes is quite healthy these days. Mewes, best known as best known as the talking half of the duo Jay and Silent Bob, will be in Boulder this Friday with cult-film-god Kevin Smith to record an episode of their wildly successful weekly…
For the past month, members of the Governor John Hickenlooper-appointed Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force have been meeting to discuss how they would like to see the state’s recreational cannabis industry proceed. Early on, the task force was divided into five working groups, all charged with examining issues ranging from…
While there are dozens of ways to ingest your cannabis, the most common (and classic) way is to roll yourself a number, light it and burn it down to the end. Unfortunately, some people have yet to master that skill and are still rolling pregnant dolphins. So to help, we’ve…
I would love to say there was another reason for my visiting Nature’s Cure III on Colfax, but there just isn’t. The shop isn’t really known for much more than rock-bottom pricing on their buds, and there’s often a line to get in — so I figured I’d finally make…
Dear Stoner: Why does every one of my puff sessions end with a trip to the convenience store for snacks? Fat Doobie Dear Doob: You want to know about the famed “munchies”? Well, allow me to get all Bill Nye on you right quick. Your body naturally produces chemicals called…
Could what is basically a carbon copy of Colorado’s Amendment 64 help make the Aloha State the next one to pass laws legalizing the cultivation, sale and possession of marijuana in small amounts? If Hawaii House Speaker Joseph Souki is successful, it just might…
Most sane, rational people understand that the cannabis plant has medical properties beneficial to patients who suffer from severe pain, chronic nausea and a number of other conditions. And then you’ve got the federal government, which has again refused to accept marijuana’s medicinal properties…
Our newish Colorado Cannabis Time Capsule feature spotlights hysterical pot reporting from days gone by — from 1937’s “School Children Buy Drug” to 1968’s “Anti-symbol Hippie Ponders Future in Jail.” Today, in that tradition, we’ve assembled a gallery of anti-marijuana propaganda from the 1930s to the 1970s. Check out the…
For the third year in a row, High Times is throwing its 4/20 celebration in Colorado, returning to the EXDO Event Center for the annual Medical Cannabis Cup. This year’s event still carries the “medical” tagline on to it (so far), but High Times editor Dan Skye confirms that the…
It wasn’t so much from paranoia as from years of conditioning. Walking into New Broadsterdam, I encountered a full-on police-issue Harley-Davidson with emblems still attached sitting in their front entryway. It almost made me turn around and run out the door and across South Broadway as fast as I could…
