Last week, we asked Mile Highs and Lows readers to submit their “funniest, most amusing tale” about getting popped with ganja, with winners taking home four-part stash boxes from Enjoy Jars. After hashing it out in a smoke-filled room all night over the entries, we’ve picked the (medicated) cream of…
This dispensary has closed. Top Shelf Alternatives is a questionable name. The owners likely meant to suggest they carry top-shelf medicine compared to other shops in town, but depending on when you visit, it could mean the complete opposite…
Alternative Medical Solutions, a medical marijuana center in tiny Peyton, Colorado, has been closed for about a week, and could be shuttered permanently, because it missed a July license-application deadline with El Paso County. In response, attorney Sean McAllister sued the county on AMS’ behalf, alleging that the dispensary didn’t…
Breckenridge is known as one of the most pot-friendly cities in the pot-friendly state of Colorado. But that doesn’t mean opening up a medical marijuana dispensary in town is cheap. Licensing costs there could potentially be more than double the amount charged in Denver, which critics often complain about being…
Last week, America was introduced to Jim Rice, former Wall Street suit-turned-poker player-turned-Denver medical marijuana dispensary owner. Jim Rice “survived.” And while he quickly became somewhat of a focal point of that episode for causing waves, Rice played it cool this week and positioned himself for the long run…
We here at Mile Highs and Lows are up to our ears in weed. We’re also pretty busy with weed news, too, which is why we’ve decided to bring on an intern. That’s right: We are looking for a college student to fill what is likely the first medical marijuana…
From the dreadlocked ski bum in Breck covering his season pass by selling grams from his garden to Texas tourists to the clandestine smoke shacks at nearly every resort in this state, marijuana has unofficially sponsored snowboarding and skiing in Colorado for some time. And now Cheeba Chews, maker of…
Former state representative Dorothy Butcher, a Democrat, represented Pueblo’s District 46 for three terms, adding to an impressive résumé that also includes a stint on the Pueblo city council. Which only enhances the surprise sparked by a report that a small forest of marijuana plants, some as tall as an…
The Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012 hasn’t sparked up love from all pro-marijuana activists, but it continues to win support from other sources. According to Regulate proponent Mason Tvert, the latest organizations to endorse the measure are the American Civil Liberties Union and the Libertarian Party of Colorado…
This dispensary has closed. Fittingly, Boulder MMC is right next to the office of Boulder’s pot-friendly congressman, Jared Polis, who has repeatedly stood up for state rights to medical marijuana. Boulder MMC owner Frank Horwich says the congressman has been over to his shop a few times, adding that Polis…
The war between activist Corey Donahue and the Department of Revenue over public records has flared up once again. This time, Donahue accuses DOR supervisor Matt Cook with improperly deleting e-mails shortly before leaving his post — a charge denied by the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division…
Posing in front of 20 pounds of marijuana got High Level Health/Discount Medical Marijuana owner Jim Rice on Survivor. But strategic moves and a bit of politicking kept him in in, at least through tonight’s first episode…
What does a skeezy beauty pageant, and “hot ass” and “best orgasm” contests have to do with medical marijuana? Nothing. But for some reason all three are events were listed as contests as recently as Tuesday afternoon for the upcoming HempCon convention…
A few weeks back, we reviewed the Enjoy Jar, a four-part herb container meant to keep your strains separated from one another. After the review, the folks at Enjoy sent us a few more for the office. Instead of hoarding them for ourselves, we figured that we’d offer them up…
Despite rumors that state licenses wouldn’t be issued until next year at the earliest, several medical marijuana clinic owners in the mountains say they have reached the final stages of the application process and are within weeks of getting the final okay from the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division…
In its first announcement about the seizure of more than 3,000 marijuana plants from a plot in Pike National Forest, an ultra-popular place for illegal grows (more on that later), the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office estimated that the weed was worth $900,000. However, that was later altered to $9 million…
This dispensary has been renamed Sacred Seed. The green and white paint job of The Wellness Center stands out along a drab of East Evans like a bowl of dank in a sea of schwag. But it isn’t until you park that the actual size of the building comes into…
The photo seen here isn’t a screen capture from the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. No, these boxes contain medical marijuana business applications that have been gathering dust up until now. And I was invited along to watch the first of them get brushed off…
Yesterday, the Drug Policy Task Force met to consider THC driving limits. The DUID-marijuana working group studying the subject couldn’t agree on a proposal last week, and Task Force member Senator Pat Steadman thinks its inability to do so may prevent THC-driving legislation from being blessed by the state Commission…
The owners of a Highland day-care center, who objected in June to The Clinic, a medical marijuana center, moving into the neighborhood, sold their business and building to the MMC earlier this month, allowing the pot shop to finally open their doors last Saturday after a two-month delay…
Boulder may have a reputation as the Weed Capitol of the United States, but the city’s medical marijuana center licensing requirements are arguably tougher than Denver’s. And they could get even more stringent if city council passes an MMJ advertising proposal it’ll mull over tonight…
Earlier this week, the DUID-marijuana working group formed under the auspices of the state Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) decided not to recommend specific THC driving limits, as a bill tabled during the last legislative session attempted to do. Below, the Medical Marijuana Industry Group’s Michael Elliott, a…
