It’s hard to forget the first time one tries to make marijuana edibles. My first dalliance with hand-crafted marijuana munchies began well over a decade ago. Despite having the best intentions, the end result was (how shall I put it) subpar. Thanksgiving was right around the corner and we had somehow determined that the easiest […]
When the concentrate industry started booming in Colorado there was an obligatory, initial race for potency. Much in the same way strains initially focused on the highest THC concentration, many extraction companies shifted their attention to making concentrates with the sole purpose of messing you up (not that I’m opposed to such things from time […]
Every time I think cannabis can’t get any more affordable, someone throws me a curveball. In this case, I was shocked when I first found out that Emerald Fields in Glendale is selling entire ounces of premium cannabis for a jaw-dropping $70 (pre-tax). This is, after all, the day and age of the hundred-dollar ounce, […]
I am so glad that I don’t need to find a cannabis dealer anymore. And for any of you out there reading this within states that may not have legalized cannabis yet, my heart goes out to you. Here in Colorado finding a “hook-up” has now become as simple as asking your phone where the […]
Outside of medical use, only a decade ago we were still in the age of finding dime bags from the guy on the corner and maybe once in a blue moon making some pot butter to infuse some of our own homemade (and usually horrible) edibles. It’s been a very short amount of time considering […]
The medicinal and recreational use of cannabis is inexorably linked. What originally spawned the ability for states to legalize recreational cannabis was accepted medical use around our country. This monumental paradigm shift on how we conceptualize the use of cannabis-based products has revolutionized the way that Americans heal in the 21st century. As the crisis […]
Every time 420 season comes around I’m forced to reflect on just how much cannabis use has evolved in the last half-decade. I recollect the old days of countless occasions of having to awkwardly sit on your dealer’s couch while he shuffles through bags of nameless, improperly-cured weed dredging up something smokable. There’s was also […]
Let’s take a moment to discuss marijuana edible dosage levels. It has become standard in the industry that a dose of cannabis is ten milligrams in edible form. While not entirely universal, especially on the medicinal side of things, ten milligrams is the dosage that is set by the Marijuana Enforcement Division in Colorado for […]
There’s a lot of conflicting news out there nowadays about cannabis. Since cannabis is still scheduled one in the eyes of the federal government it’s made it exceedingly difficult to study medicinal benefits while still being compliant to the law. It seems like for the first time in history, proper research is being put into […]
It seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same. The divisive nature of humanity isn’t gonna change anytime soon. We just seem pre-disposed to debate the merits of every aspect of life. A recent poignant debate pitted two childhood favorites against each other. Without getting too brand-name-oriented it had to do […]
I absolutely love baking. Now I know in the context of a marijuana-based article you probably assumed I’m referring to baking a car or some other enclosed space. In this situation, however, I am referring to baking delicious baked goods like cookies, cakes, and bread. Since it is Colorado, it is 2017, and cannabis is […]
Anyone who remembers the cannabis market before legalization might recall some rather hefty prices and a plethora of potentially unsavory dealers that you had to cope with. Prices would fluctuate, dry spells would abound, and demand would set the market price as high as Jack, Zach, or Ryan would deem worthy. If you were never […]
What a great time it is to live in a great state like Colorado. As someone who’s lived here their entire life, I love just about everything about the place. From hiking in the mountains, rafting in the rivers, or simply going and getting drunk at a Rockies game. It was right after legalization that […]
It’s summer time again. While the masses of Colorado trade out their skis and snowboards for swimsuits and hiking boots, so begins my unending battle to escape the heat. To say that I find heat abhorrent is a massive understatement. In the summer time, I survive by trekking to high altitude and by abusing my […]
There’s something about road trips that fills my heart with joy. When I was younger, my family was never huge on road tripping, and would frequently fly to destinations for vacation. While there was the odd trip we would take to Santa Fe, it wasn’t until my early 20s that I discovered the joy of […]
