Marijuana

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:

Although the marijuana holiday of 4/20 has passed, we can now celebrate May Fourth. Toke one for Carrie Fisher and use some of these cool, Star Wars-themed items to guide you on your quest through the galaxy. May the Fourth be with you.

In a ground-breaking move, Representative Jared Polis brought medical experts, advocates, attorneys and scientists to Washington, D.C., on May 3 to discuss cannabis for the the Marijuana Big Thinker Talks. We caught up with Polis after the event to discuss legalization efforts across the country, his work in Congress, and the Trump administration.

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.

Washington Park residents are not happy about the International Church of Cannabis. About forty people came to the West Washington Park Neighborhood Association’s board meeting on May 2; most of them were there to talk about the church, and only twenty minutes of the meeting had been set aside for that discussion.

When I was a kid, thinking about the Bermuda Triangle always freaked me out…and I grew up in Arizona. On the surface, the Bermuda Triangle and Triangle Kush have no real link other than the strain having been bred in Florida, but their mysterious similarities run deep — especially after a joint of the strain gets your conspiracy juices flowing.

Dear Stoner: I recently purchased two 500-milligram cartridges of CO2 oil, and one is not working. Is there a way to remove the oil so that I didn’t just waste $50? Meagan Dear Meagan: It’s frustrating that vaping cartridges still haven’t reached a true level of consistency; I’ve had the…

A Colorado Christian University administrator who wants to ban the Denver 420 Rally has agreed to debate the event’s lawyer, a major pro-pot figure who says a CCU petition launched in the wake of headlines about the alleged trashing of Civic Center Park following this year’s event is filled with falsehoods.

On Wednesday, May 3, Representative Jared Polis will host the inaugural Marijuana Big Thinker Talks in Washington, D.C., bringing in experts from across the country to talk about cannabis.

The Drug Enforcement Administration recently terrified parents with this tweet: “Find out where your kids hide drugs,” with a link to a page on GetSmartAboutDrugs.gov, a DEA-produced site designed specifically for parents, educators and caregivers. This particular page, titled Hiding Places, lists where people should look if they think kids might be smoking marijuana. Here are ten possibilities.

The week after the 4/20 Rally was held below the State Capitol — and the office of the Colorado governor  —John Hickenlooper met with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, urging him to keep the feds out of the state’s business, and pointing out how none of the ominous predictions made in the wake of the passage of Amendment 64 have panned out.

While every dispensary in Colorado needed some time to recover after 4/20, they stayed on their Insta-game. Here’s our favorite weed porn posted by dispensaries this week.

Governor John Hickenlooper and a group of other governors met with Attorney General Jeff Sessions this week while in Washington, D.C., for the National Governors Association Winter Meeting. On their agenda? Marijuana. “We approached Attorney General Sessions with the notion that if we’re going to make changes, we should do it together and kind of collaborate on it,” he told Chuck Todd on MSNBC.

Does marijuana improve sex? Our Stoner has the answer.

Star Wars strains have quietly claimed a healthy niche in a galaxy that takes us far, far away. Many of them trace their roots back to OG Kush; Death Star, Darth Vader OG, Skywalker OG and Yoda OG are all either phenotypes of, or bred from, an OG strain. Colorado breeder Rare Dankness continued that powerful line of strains with StarKiller OG.

Every year Xcel Energy honors organizations with energy efficiency awards, and for the first time, a cannabis business is on the list of honorees.

Starting May 1, Denver dispensaries will be allowed to stay open until 10 p.m. Denver City Council approved the three-hour extension on Monday, April 24, after studying the issue for the last few months.

An attorney who plays a key role in the annual Denver 4/20 Rally is pushing back against criticism of the event delivered by Mayor Michael Hancock and other officials at an April 24 press conference. Rob Corry insists that organizers didn’t violate their permit for Civic Center Park and rejects the possibility of fines because the location was still strewn with garbage the next morning. He also feels that Denver should accept some responsibility for problems at the gathering, including long security lines that eventually led to some attendees breaking down a fence — and he makes it clear that should city reps attempt to prohibit the rally entirely, they’d wind up in court.
