Poochie Love (marijuana review)

Poochie Love (marijuana review)

The potency and overall quality of the physical effects in Poochie Love more than made up for the somewhat lackluster flavor. I’d peg the Poochie Love as a solid daytime choice for the majority of users, as it didn’t come with any undertones of anxiety or other uncomfortable feelings.

Island Sweet Skunk (marijuana review, Strain Theory)

Island Sweet Skunk (marijuana review)

For the first time I can remember (insert memory joke here), I’ve felt like I’m too busy to get high lately. As a daily toker for years, this makes frighteningly little sense. I point to examples of high-functioning peers all the time when confronted by the “Pot makes ya dumb!” crowd, yet here I find myself apprehensive to indulge.

Zema Pro vape pen handles herbs, oil, and e-juice (review)

Zema Pro vape pen ably handles herbs, oil and e-juice (review)

I like the Zema Pro from Got Vape. I want to say that up front, because whenever I review vape pens, I typically spend my initial paragraphs explaining how they’re all pretty similar. And then maybe I’ll note my concern that these little Chinese e-cigarettes are almost entirely untested for health hazards. I’m a total buzzkill at the pen party.

Baked seasonal fruit with maple drizzle (recipe)

I decided to bake some leftover fresh fruit with medicated granola, and let me say that this is one awesome dessert. My favorites are the peaches and pears, but honestly they all taste great.

Larry OG review (Cannabis Cup edition)

Larry OG review (Cannabis Cup edition)

Strain Theory: The 1st Place Medical Indica from this year’s Cannabis Cup smells great but wasn’t very enjoyable to smoke. The nug was pretty gorgeous and seemed well-grown; there was a generous coating of well-preserved trichomes all over the minty green surface.

Terrapin Care Station - Folsom St. (rec review by The Ombudsman)

Terrapin Care Station – Folsom Street (rec review)

The recreational shopping experience at Boulder’s Terrapin Care Station – Folsom St. proved a positive one, but the flower quality/price combination was rather disappointing.

25 things I learned from Weed Firm. (Manitoba Games)

25 things I’ve learned from Weed Firm

There are certain truisms in Weed Firm. What have we learned from the hours we’ve lost playing the popular game, letting the gangsters kick our butts, precariously watering the pot plants with small water bottles, paying off the cops, ignoring the advances of Jane the stripper and growing some premium Purple Haze?

Feds muddy waters over irrigating for pot grows

The U.S. Interior Department said Tuesday it doesn’t want federal irrigation water being used to grow marijuana in Colorado, Washington or anywhere else. But the practical effects of the policy are limited, and it’s not clear the policy will apply at all in Colorado.

Grow and deal weed on your iPhone: Weed Firm game tops iTunes charts

Weed Firm is the hottest iPhone game in America. So why are we so moved to grow and sell marijuana in this fictional universe? It’s a legitimately addictive game, and it’s compelling to watch your cash pile grow larger as your clientele becomes more and more demanding.

Pure Power Plant marijuana review (Cannabis Cup edition)

Pure Power Plant review (Cannabis Cup edition)

While there’s definitely a positive impression from Pure Power Plant, sometimes there are questions about the bona fides. But from a quality standpoint, the lost art of curing so far seems to have been rediscovered in this year’s Cup winners, and this sample was no exception.

4 months in: No increase in Denver crime

As revenues, taxes and fees from the sales of recreational marijuana continue to rise — “Colorado sold nearly $19 million worth of recreational pot in March, up from about $14 million worth of recreational pot in February” — crime in Denver, the state’s marijuana hub, is on the decline.

Afgoo (marijuana review, Strain Theory)

Afgoo (marijuana review)

If Afgoo looked out of place at a slick marijuana shop like Euflora, it’s only because it harkened back to an earlier age when strains weren’t tinkered with endlessly to produce modern super-buds. Trapped there in a display jar, it looked more like the oldest lion in the zoo. I wanted to free it.
