Back in the day, there were fewer greater feelings for a young cannabis user than finding a new connection. Finding that steady hookup of sticky green bud was one you cherished as your friends were picking seeds out of brick. I hadn’t thought about that sensation in a while, what…
Update: As we reported below, the much-debated THC driving bill died because Senator Nancy Spence, whose vote made the difference between passage and failure, was on vacation.

This week, the 25 medical marijuana dispensaries targeted in a second round of shut-down letters from the U.S. Attorney’s office closed their doors, bringing the total number of shops that have done so to 47. But according to marijuana attorney Warren Edson, the majority of those MMCs have simply relocated…
Last month, the backers of Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act, unveiled a billboard near Mile High Stadium (and a liquor store) that took a soft-sell approach to promoting the proposal. So, too, does the first campaign commercial for Amendment 64, which starts airing today and is on…
When I first checked out Caregivers for Life nearly two years, what I brought home was decent but not what most people would consider connoisseur quality. But in the intervening months, the shop has clearly come into its own and begun putting out some amazing herbs…
As part of our unofficial ongoing series, Ask William Breathes Anything, my editors once again have given me free reign to sit online and do nothing but chat with you folks for the next hour and twenty minutes. But unlike Mitt Romney, I enjoy questions about cannabis and the cannabis…
Mitt Romney doesn’t like marijuana or medical marijuana, and he doesn’t want to hear your insignificant questions about the subject, either. At least, that’s what he told CBS4’s Shaun Boyd in an interview yesterday…
With the passing of HB 1099 yesterday, which creates a soil remediation study using hemp as the filtering agent, Colorado could be the first state in the nation to grow industrial hemp since the late 1930s. But passing the bill was just the first obstacle. Actually implementing the plan might…

Last night, as One Colorado’s Jace Woodrum noted during a talk with supporters, GOP leaders in the House sacrificed dozens of other measures in order to kill a civil unions bill. Prominent among them was the controversial THC driving bill, a version of which died last year. The result was…
With the Colorado General Assembly’s regular session slated to end tomorrow, three marijuana related bills are still floating around with the possibility of passing. Below, we’ve put together a quick update about each piece of legislation and its status…
