The visit I made to Ascend happened in early September of 2017, and I had a great conversation with Jim. It took me a few weeks to set it up, I met Jim’s business partner Keith while shopping at my local dispensary. Keith was headed out of the country for a couple weeks at the […]
If you’ve never had the opportunity to sample a live resin, the cannabis industry is starting to go crazy on these amazing concentrates. Live resins offer a robust terpene content which means that you can expect from them a more balanced high than some concentrates can give you. To understand what makes live resin so […]
A piercing scream breaks the city skyline as a massive gorilla scales its way up a building distressed damsel in hand. As planes circle the beast pecking away at its thick hide in vain, you nonchalantly gaze up, knowing exactly what to do. You, after all, have Might Kong’s weakness in hand, a dab pick […]
That’s extreme! Extreme is a label thrown around a lot in pretty much every type of industry you can think of. If you use ‘extreme’ before a household cleaner, you can probably buy it at the ‘as seen on tv’ section of the store. If you use ‘extreme’ to refer to a fast food product it’s […]
Welcome, cannabis enthusiasts, smokers, and patients, to the next generation of consuming cannabis. If you’ve been using cannabis recreationally or medicinally for any amount of time in the last decade, then there is a good chance you’ve at least heard of dabbing, even if you’ve never tried it for yourself. To give you the short version, […]
The biggest question I get asked about my job is, “what’s your favorite part?” Well, a good go-to answer is usually the free weed, but the truth of the matter is, no amount of free weed can compare to the amazing people that I get to work with on a daily basis. People like the […]
Puff, puff, pass is the age old etiquette created by stoners for stoners to assure the even spread of a joint or blunt that is being handed around the room. This is a paradigm of the cannabis combusting community that has been around far longer than I have, and seems to be a good way […]
The reports are in, and it’s official. Pennsylvania is the 24th state to legalize medicinal cannabis. Number 24 is getting tantalizingly close to making medical marijuana legal in more than half of the states in the US. Many have viewed the halfway legalization point as being a potential turning point for federal laws, which still […]
How did they rate? Regardless of the inherent praise or scorn often lobbed at the marijuana industry, one thing neither side can deny is the remarkable power that cannabis has to bring people together from all different walks of life. Where else do you see dreadlock toting hippies and clean cut white collar retirees smiling, […]
I shan’t lie, I’ve smoked my fair share of wax, shatter, flake, budder, hash, kief, and pretty much any other concentrate you can think of. I’ve had good, I’ve had bad, and I’ve had everything in-between. The simple formula for great concentrates has two steps. One, grow amazing cannabis, and two, have an amazing extraction […]
How did they rate? If I were to tell you I’m not a sucker for themed events and locations, I would be lying. Maybe if comes from working for years at the Colorado Renaissance Festival, or maybe it’s from one too many trips to Epcot Center, but when I walk into a place that’s themed […]
How did they rate? If you’re anything like me, you’ll never forget the first time that you went into a recreational dispensary. It all started innocently enough. I met up with a group of friends at the closest dispensary we could find after legalization and gathered in the massive line outside the door waiting to […]
How did they rate? When I mention Summit County or Breckenridge Colorado to most people, they frequently think of expensive skiing, expensive food, expensive clothing, expensive lodging, and expensive fresh mountain air. Alright maybe that last one’s still free, but that’s only because there isn’t a way to charge for it yet (if you don’t […]
How did they rate? There’s a lot to be said about a name, especially when it’s the name of your business. It’s the first thing your customers see when they are perusing your wares online or driving by your storefront on the street. It’s your first line of marketing that will stand the test of […]
How did they rate? If you’ve been keeping yourself abreast of the most recent Colorado cannabis news, you’re no doubt aware of how many grows and dispensaries have been temporarily – or in some cases permanently –shut down for improper use of pesticides and herbicides. Although all recreational crops need to be tested for contaminants, […]
