Medical marijuana dispensary review: Citi-Med in south Denver

With nearby Serenity Moon pushed out of its location on University at Asbury earlier this year, Citi-Med is easily the closest medical marijuana center to the heart of the DU campus. On that note, it was easily the closest legal place to buy marijuana near the debate yesterday — although…

Medical marijuana dispensary review: Green Cross Clinic

This dispensary has closed. Not to be confused with Mile High Green Cross on Broadway (or any of the dozens of dispensaries around the state that use a green cross for their business), Green Cross Clinic recently took over the former Alternative Wellness Center space on 38th, with two other…

Medical marijuana gardens suffering after lengthy, hot summer

Marijuana grows: Bad-as-meth-labs study based on clown science?

Officials with the Colorado Drug Investigators Association yesterday announced the results of a study that showed the potential dangers that marijuana grow houses pose to law enforcement officers and the greater community.

Medical marijuana dispensary review: Higher Ground in Denver

This dispensary has closed. The entrance is borderline speakeasy-esque: A gray door is tucked in the space between Washington Park Grille on one side and a breakfast eatery/ice-cream bar on the other. It looks more like kitchen access for either restaurant than a dispensary entrance. Only a few unassuming signs…

Medical marijuana dispensary review: The Golden Goat in Denver

This dispensary has closed. After weeks of waiting and building social-media buzz, the Golden Goat has finally reopened in the space formerly occupied by Green Door Wellness — which always looked like a nest of old Deadheads had taken over an abandoned East Colfax building near a grow store and…
