Last August, when veteran reporter Peter Marcus announced that he was leaving the ambitious ColoradoPolitics.com project he helped launch the previous year in favor of a communications-director position with the rapidly growing marijuana dispensary chain Terrapin Care Station, he stressed that he wasn’t leaving journalism behind and planned to start a website that would mix original stories with posts intended to counter misinformation being spewed by pot enemies. That site, TheNewsStation.com, is now live, and included among offerings that he says “promote the positive business and economic impact of the cannabis industry” is a section in which Marcus tears apart what he sees as marijuana “Fake News.” Check out six examples below.

Thee handful of private cannabis clubs in the state, Denver businesses with social consumption licenses and 420-friendly private events can only operate if they don’t allow anyone under 21 through the door.

Autism spectrum disorder is known for severe communication and behavior disorders, causing those who suffer from it to lash out physically while struggling to express their emotions.

Readers have plenty of suggestions for how to take the edge off.
