When Ilan Freeman was growing up, his favorite movie was The Lion King, and he named his new company Hakuna Supply to reflect the problem-free philosophy popularized by the movie. Hakuna: No worries.The Colorado-based company offers walnut and mahogany stash boxes, rolling trays and other accessories like stash jars and grinders. “I made the first boxes by hand,” Freeman says. “Keep it simple, keep it functional — that’s the whole idea.”

After some but not all of Eric Jarrin’s marijuana was stolen, the Colorado resident reported what had happened. But because the crime took place in Wyoming, which has some of the strongest anti-cannabis laws in the country, the police officers who responded didn’t bother going after the thief. Instead, they promptly arrested Jarrin and fellow Colorado pal Christopher Rathe, whose actions raise an important question: Were the pair too stoned to remember they were in a state where pot is illegal?

Most cannabis consumers just want whatever’s on sale or the buds that’ll lift them the highest – but those two qualities rarely co-exist. The few strains that are both inexpensive and elevating, like Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue, quickly become popular on dispensary shelves. Still, while THC Bomb’s price is often in inverse proportion to its THC numbers, it hasn’t yet reached the same level of demand.

For the last six months, BDS Analytics has been working on a survey to analyze marijuana consumers in Colorado and California. The company surveyed 1,000 people in each state and broke respondents into two categories: acceptors and rejectors.

According to data shared by the Colorado Department of Revenue, 29 counties in Colorado generated nearly $35 million in tax revenues during 2016, not counting the nearly $200 million in tax revenue collected by the state itself.

Visiting Colorado? Here are the ten dispensaries that are closest to Denver International Airport.

Jeff Hunt, the Colorado Christian University educator behind the petition to ban the Denver 420 Rally, says teenage pot smoking that harmed his short-term memory and the negative marijuana experiences of friends turned him against cannabis, which he and others at CCU see as a civic ill that needs to be cured.

After a few weeks of delays, The Green Solution has opened another dispensary in Aurora, the first store it’s built from the ground up and the last of the 24 stores currently allowed in that town. It’s also one of the rec locations closest to Denver International Airport, although still twenty miles awya.

The city is reviewing its policies for Denver’s parks, especially Civic Center, in the wake of problems — long lines, trash — during this year’s 420 Rally. But the Mile High City’s annual celebration can definitely be saved, according to readers.

A new resource will soon come to Colorado. Santa Cruz, California-based Jane is an online cannabis-connection service that allows customers to search for marijuana products using any term. And not only do consumers get to use the service for free, dispensaries can, too. The only charge is a small gratuity for each purchase at their store made through the site.

Susan Squibb was a pioneer in the cannabis movement. She fought for women to have a seat at the table even before cannabis was legal, and now she celebrates women in the industry every year by hosting a Mother’s High Tea on Mother’s Day weekend. This year’s gathering starts at 1 p.m. Friday, May 12, at the McNichols Building. Here are five reasons we’re excited about the event:

If you’re still buying weed on the streets, how can you tell what you’re buying? Our Stoner has the answer.

A major argument against legalization has been the lack of research, so now the cannabis industry is working to fill that void. Gram Research is launching a program that will provide information on consumption habits — and it will be getting the data directly from consumers every time they smoke.
