Your Denver Nuggets are officially a playoff team. But they’ll likely be out of the postseason mighty fast unless they manage to use the NBA circle of life to prevent the death of their 2012 season. To whit: If they don’t up-end the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road Wednesday,…
The first thing Amy Smith has to explain to skeptics is that she isn’t a Scientologist. You don’t have to belong to an oddball religion to question American medicine’s heavy reliance on psychoactive drugs to treat everything from mild depression to schizophrenia. In fact, members of a growing consumer revolt,…
CU-Boulder’s decision to ban campus visitors and close Norlin Quad in an effort to shrink the annual 4/20 event prompted an unsuccessful court challenge and plenty of controversy. But despite security breaches and a free Wyclef Jean concert that failed to siphon off more than a handful of students, a…
A recent Kelsey Whipple post focused on DU’s Young Americans For Liberty and an event dubbed “Occupy the Honor Roll,” in which participants equated Occupy Wall Street’s calls for greater equity with the redistribution of smart kids’ GPA to dumber ones. Which didn’t tickle one reader’s funny bone…
A short time ago, Broncos’ safety Brian Dawkins announced his retirement in the new-fangled way — via his Twitter account. No, it’s not a surprise, particularly given his recent injury history and reports about Denver’s search for another secondary vet; more on that below. But it’s still a shot to…
Denver’s annual 4/20 festivities drew thousands, as is clear from our 4/20 at Civic Center Park photo gallery and marijuana critic William Breathes’s account. But the first-ever second day of the bash attracted only a relative handful of tokers to Civic Center. Was a sequel too much even for hardcore…
Within a half hour of the 2012 High Times Denver Medical Cannabis Cup opening on Saturday, the line was already snaking down Walnut Street, around the corner, then halfway up 36th. Not surprisingly, the smell of ganja had wafted even further. This is the second time in as many years…
Each anniversary of the April 20, 1999 Columbine High massacre seems to bring disturbing new events — like Earl Moore’s attempted bombing of a nearby mall. This year’s shocking tie-in: An announcement that a Basalt High student had been busted for an alleged plan to kidnap, beat and starve another…
You’ve read pot critic William Breathes’s take on 4/20 in Civic Center Park this past Friday. Now see photos from the scene there — cops, advocates, MMJ patients and those just looking for a free toke. Check out the full slide show with many more photos here: “4/20 in Denver”…

No, this lady didn’t win the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Instead, Dorthy Gibbons is being rewarded for how she handled her Shih Tzu’s shit. For twelve years, the local company called Pet Scoop has scooped Sasha’s poop. And yesterday, it so happened that Gibbons’s was the millionth yard Pet Scoop…
The Denver Fire Department is still investigating a suspicious fire at a Green Door Wellness medical marijuana dispensary at 155 Federal earlier this week. But that’s about all the information that we’ve been able to get out of anyone involved with the case after days of asking for more details…
In this week’s cover story, “Medic!,” we featured the Colorado Street Medics, an international network of activists with more than forty years of history. Much of that history is recorded in Denver, where the community’s first street medic museum will be launched inside the 27 Social Centre. Click through for…
Most people associate the words “plastic surgery” and “breasts” with women making theirs larger. But Dr. Tanya Atagi tells the stories of two men who she helped with gynecomastia, the treatment of enlarged male breasts. One was an older man who wanted to be able to take his grandkids to…
Denver blog posts are counting the minutes ’til 4:20. Denver Stiffs’ Andrew Feinstein on how Wilson Chandler’s injury impacts the Nugs. Colorado Pols thinks Barack Obama is eager to pick a fight over student loans — the subject that’s bringing him to CU-Boulder on Tuesday. Denver Egotist salutes Lakeside Amusement…
Last year a federal review panel heard some amazing excuses from corrections officials about why their jails and prisons have exceptionally high rates of sexual assault. One sheriff even claimed inmates were faking stories of rape in order to get cookies from researchers…
If you’ve ever heard an “Occupy your mom” joke, you’ll know that Occupy memes have gone just about as far as the national movement’s politics. But the University of Denver has jumped on the bandwagon: The twenty or so members of the school’s Young Americans For Liberty took on wealth…
Long ago, before hippies like Al Gore co-opted it with their environmentalist liberal agenda, Earth Day was a time for honest, hard-working Americans like you and me to celebrate our dominance over the planet we call home, which, as everyone knows, was awarded to us by God pretty early on…
How outrageous are gas prices these days? Outrageous enough that a professional athlete who just signed a multi-million-dollar contract is bitching about them. The baller in question is ex-Broncos receiver Eddie Royal. Check out this photo he recently posted to his Facebook page…
Irony alert: Foul-smelling fish fertilizer of the sort CU-Boulder applied this morning to Norlin Quad, which has been closed as part of a plan to shrink the annual 4/20 event on campus, is a favorite of marijuana growers. Great minds think alike…
The revelation, from a Kyle Garratt post, that Metro State spent six years and $95,000 to choose a new name only one word different from the old one didn’t come as a shock to one reader. She offers another example of how much a word can cost…
The details are in about President Barack Obama’s visit to the CU-Boulder campus at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The venue? The Coors Events Center, where he’ll be speaking only days after today’s Wyclef Jean concert, which will probably need a good airing-out due to what could be a truly astounding amount…
