It goes without saying that most of us remember the very first time we ever tried marijuana. My tale was not a glamorous one and entailed a soda can behind the bushes near a friend’s house. While the occasion stands out, it didn’t seem to stick quite as much as the first time I tried […]
Thanks to the current dumpster fire that is cyber security nowadays, it seems like hardly a week goes by where some new security breach doesn’t make headlines. While you may have never experienced the violation of being affected by one of these breeches they are still very disconcerting, to say the least. One place you […]
It’s hard to forget your first 420 in Colorado. I remember sitting out in a field in Boulder with dozens of other people experiencing a little taste of what legalization would be like. As we sat out in the sunny park more and more people would pass by, strangers would sit down and become friends […]
The sun was out making a half-hearted attempt at melting the snow and Adam (another editor here at Dope Directory) and I had a date on the calendar to swing by The Green Solution® Studios. Having already met once with Wig’nz, Aldo, and JJ (the Uli Production crew minus Larry) I knew we were in […]
If you told me ten years ago that I would be traveling around the state exploring hundreds of cannabis vendors, sampling dozens of different strains, and doing so legally, I would have simply called that a pipe dream. Nevertheless, here I am. While the entire situation of legalized cannabis may seem pretty cut and dry […]
So you’ve decided the time has come to attain your medical marijuana card, or perchance it’s just renewal time – I urge you to read this before you do. The laws concerning how to get your medicinal marijuana cards have changed here in Colorado in the last month. Chances are you’re going to be affected […]
The results, friends, are in. With the largest number of entries to date, this was certainly not an awards ceremony to miss. This was an eventful one, too – we found out that the Cannabis World Cup will be hosted in Negril, Jamaica this November 12-15th. Dani, a native of Tacoma, Washington, was crowned this […]
For anyone who spent a day (or more!) at the 2015 High Times US Cannabis Cup, it’s very easy to forget the hundreds of different vendors, especially when many of those vendors were giving out free samples. Who can turn down free samples? This is a great way to try and experiment with new strains. […]
“No dude, there are seriously snakes in there. People get bit every single year. I’ve seen it on the news.” Another group behind me, “I wonder how much hiking we’ll actually have to do at the Red Rock.” And another, “Dude, that guy letting people onto the bus has a badge. Where is the bus […]
“Hats in the air,” and the crowd gleefully obliges. The cannon is pointed, and then, every cannabis enthusiast’s dream come true. Fire. The cannon erupts with a loud hiss, and rains cannabis products all over the crowd: joints, edibles, whole buds. A cup without cannabis? Forget about it. Cannabis Cup 2015 – Day One: No […]
Beyond any other method of cannabis consumption, using a vape pen has become an extraordinarily popular choice. This is due in part to the sizable proliferation in the e-cigarette market, which has become a healthier alternative to combustible cigarettes. Also, using a vape pen is easy, discreet, and quick, making it an ideal choice for […]
The medical marijuana industry is moving, and boy oh boy, is it moving fast. I was reading an article online recently about how the National Institute for Drug Abuse revised a page on its website to say that whole-plant cannabis extracts can slow the growth of “one of the most serious types of brain tumors.” […]
I’m convinced, beyond any state, Coloradans celebrate 4/20 like no one else. From the annual gatherings that used to happen on the CU Campus, to the throngs who congregate at the state capitol in Denver, 4/20 is quite a special holiday for us here in the Centennial State. Now, like any consumer who is planning on […]
“It’s time to go. Get in the car,” my father proclaimed, standing over my bed in a posture that reminded me of a statue of a Roman god. I knew exactly what he was talking about, but I must admit, his anticipation surprised me. See, I knew that my father was a desperado well before […]
Although over a year has passed since retail marijuana was made legal in Colorado, dispensaries are still opening up, finding that Colorado’s market is far from saturated. Perhaps this trend is a bit more noticeable in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado. The town is not that big, so any time anything new comes in, Boulderites […]
