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of complaints about security and clean-up issues at this year’s edition, and their priority status with the city was rescinded.

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.
