A new study maintains that Colorado has the third most serious drug problem of any state, with the highest percentage of both teenage and adult drug users in the country. However, the findings contradict a recent Colorado report showing that teen marijuana use here is actually below the national average. And the adult use statistics don’t take into account the fact that cannabis consumption is legal for those over age 21 in Colorado.
The 420 Rally has always attracted teenagers, but that doesn’t mean that cannabis use among Colorado’s kids has increased.
On Memorial Day, law enforcement authorities will be setting up checkpoints all over metro Denver. But while it’s easy to test drivers for alcohol impairment, it’s far more difficult to do accurate testing for THC, and the result can be unfair to cannabis consumers,
The comments just keep coming about the 420 Rally last month, and the city’s response issued last weekend, which would fine the organizers of the event $12,000, and ban them from applying for another Denver permit in any park for the next three years. The organizers plan to appeal that ruling, and in the meantime, readers are issuing their own verdicts.
One of the longest-running cannabis controversies in Colorado is about to come to a close. Last month, state lawmakers approved a measure that will create a “statutory right” for patients to use medical marijuana for PTSD. When the bill goes into law, it will mark the first time any condition has been added to those eligible for MMJ since 2001, when the initial list was created a year after Colorado voters approved Amendment 20. Amendment 20 gave patients and caregivers alike the right to possess, cultivate and use medicinal marijuana.
The Colorado Department of Transportation blames law-enforcement agencies slow to hange their culture for incomplete numbers on marijuana-induced driving deaths.
Book lovers got lit over literature at the inaugural Cannabis Literary Society author meet-and-greet book-signing on May 23. The new consumption-friendly cannabis book club is the latest endeavor of marijuana patient advocate Amy Dawn Bourlon-Hilterbran, who wanted to create safe and legal space where people could talk about the plant and…
The organizers of the Denver 420 Rally are preparing to formally appeal a decision by the City of Denver to ban them from applying for any event permit during the next three years and rescind the priority status that’s allowed them to regularly stage the annual gathering at Civic Center Park on or around April 20. They say that while some minor errors were made at this year’s edition, Denver officials have either greatly exaggerated or completely invented violations in a conscious effort to destroy an enormously popular, tourist-friendly festival that appears to embarrass them.
Mixing codeine and marijuana isn’t a good idea, especially if you’re about to do a morning show. Just don’t let Lil Wayne mumble something about your personal life.
Visiting Colorado? If you want to check out a dispensary for the first time, we know that can be daunting. There are hundreds of them, including many near the airport, so how do you decide which one to go to? And once you’re inside of one, how do you know what to get? Here are some general rules that every tourist should know before heading to a recreational marijuana store.
Organizers of the Denver 420 Rally have been prohibited from applying for a Denver event permit for three years as a result of complaints about security and clean-up issues at this year’s edition, and their priority status with the city was rescinded. That pleases Colorado Christian University educator Jeff Hunt, the former marijuana user who spearheaded a petition to ban it.
Acquiring new cannabis genetics from different parts of the country is becoming easier than ever as pot prohibition’s national blockade continues to weaken. These new pipelines helped introduce me to Nurse Jackie – not the TV show many heard about but few watched, but a unique sativa gaining a respected reputation in Oregon’s medical marijuana community.
Even as Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to say terrible things about marijuana and hint at a potential crackdown against states that have approved recreational or medical sales, assorted members of Congress have introduced legislation aimed at changing the way the federal government deals with the plant, including its designation as a Schedule I narcotic by the Drug Enforcement Administration. But there’s disagreement among national leaders of the cannabis community about whether it would be preferable to shift marijuana to Schedule II or Schedule III, or to de-schedule it entirely.
Colorado’s legislative session might be over, but Congressional lawmakers are paying attention to cannabis. Between the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, fifteen bills have been introduced that aim at revising federal marijuana laws.
When they meet in late June, representatives of Colorado’s city governments will pin down their role in the fight against semi-legal and illegal pot growers.

This year’s annual 420 Rally left behind everything from trash to complaints about long lines. Four days after the gathering in Civic Center Park, Mayor Michael Hancock called for a review of the annual event.

As spring heads into summer, there’s nothing Coloradans love more than getting outside and exploring the great outdoors…often with cannabis for a real Rocky Mountain high. But it’s illegal to smoke in federal parks, which is why edibles are an ideal item to pack. Whether you’re heading to the mountains for the weekend or just hanging out in your back yard, here are ten of the best edibles to bite into this summer.
Are there strains that will help you focus? Our Stoner has the answer.
Two Coloradans in the House of Representatives, Diana DeGette and Mike Coffman, introduced a bill today, May 18, that would protect states with legal marijuana from the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress.
When Colorado legalized cannabis, people had a lot of questions. More than three years after recreational dispensaries first opened their doors in this state, researchers are starting to answer some of those questions. While many marijuana studies focus on the general public, most of the people surveyed for a just-released report by the Cannabis Consumers Coalition were regular users who consume cannabis at least once a day.
Named after country star Willie Nelson, the original stoney Red Headed Stranger, this sativa-dominant hybrid’s flower and concentrates are now at dozens of dispensaries. But is Red Headed Stranger worth all the space?
