Westword

Dear Stoner: Are there any cannabis-friendly workout classes in Denver? I’ve really enjoyed a toke before, during or after my workouts (sometimes all three), and it’d be nice to meet people or receive some exercise instruction and still be able to do it.

Dear Pink Buffalo: Finding a cannabis-friendly yoga class is pretty easy if you know where to look. Tetra Lounge hosts one every Sunday, and the Coffee Joint, a vape-only cannabis lounge, occasionally hosts yoga classes, too. There have also been cannabis-friendly hiking and disc golf groups in Denver. But if you don’t enjoy yoga or outdoor activity as exercise, you’re going to have a hard time.

Yoga classes only require an instructor and mats for participants, but a real gym setting needs a lot more equipment — and any facility with weights and proper exercise equipment definitely isn’t licensed for cannabis consumption. The Coffee Joint has hosted one or two dance workout classes in the past, so a pot-friendly HIIT class isn’t totally out of the question. Most people who visit a weed lounge just want to chill or listen to music, though, so you might have to keep toking up alone before hitting the gym.
