Tommy Chong made his “Dancing With the Stars” debut on Monday night in the premiere of the 19th season of ABC’s popular prime-time staple. The network certainly didn’t shy away from the stoney history of the comedian/actor/director (and Pueblo dispensary endorser).
Reddit nearly lost its mind in July when Snoop Dogg owned up to smoking a joint at the White House. But let’s not forget the time Willie Nelson lit up on the roof of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. See the video.
This Q&A handles readers’ questions on cannabis matters. Topics include using marijuana for a carsick dog; the vaping high vs. smoking high; and investing options for non-Colorado residents.
Susan Sarandon is talking about marijuana again: “People don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed and don’t drive crazy on weed. They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house, or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world.”
REVIEW: Sometimes we want high-end products but we don’t want to pay high-end prices. At $120, the Wulf Mods Tundra is much cheaper than many portable vapes. It’s stylish and functional too, but there’s a caveat: a rubbery, plastic smell and taste.
Considering that their shows are known to end with mobs in the street and semi-riot situations (ahem, SXSW), Denver should prepare itself for Trash Talk. The California thrash punk band will play a free, kind-of-secret show in Denver on June 24, with the location to be announced.
The world of weed is growing every day. Here’s a compendium of marijuana terms, from the plant to the many ways to consume it and the cannabis culture that surrounds it.
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.
These 25 favorite strains of our marijuana critics propelled them to movement and soothed prominent aches. They’re old standbys, trendy new hybrids and old-school classics known by our parents.
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.
Bianca Barnhill is no slacker stoner. She’s the West Coast Correspondent for High Times, a producer, former model, legalization activist and has been dubbed the “Anna Wintour of Weed.” Barnhill, who’s also a cancer survivor, says “I’m trying to do my part to erase the stigma. Yes, I’m daily smoker, but I’m also a successful businesswoman.”
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.
Michelle Malkin is a conservative hero, yes, but she’s also an advocate for medical (and even recreational) marijuana. Our expansive interview:
If you like a sweet Haze with world-class potency that enhances just about any activity (who doesn’t?), you’d be well-served to check out Ghost Train Haze grown by Denver-based medical dispensary Green Man Cannabis.
We understand that the titular question above — Does Wiz Khalifa know the difference between indicas and sativas? — sounds a little ridiculous.
The cultural revolution that is making marijuana part of everyday Colorado life conquers another established front Tuesday as the Colorado Symphony Orchestra announces a series of performances sponsored by the cannabis industry.
As a big fan of sativas, I had expected to enjoy the Green Crack high I’d always had. Primarily, a dialed-in and centered buzz that allowed me to knock out tasks as they came up. Instead, I was all over the place.
Wiz Khalifa will return to the Rocks this summer for the “Under the Influence of Music 2014 Summer Tour.” He will be joined by Young Jeezy, Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich Homie Quan and other acts to be announced.
4/20/14 concerts, music festivals and other events doubled and tripled in size from last year. But there weren’t enough people to fill all of the stages.
As trip-hop music played through booming speakers, sun-drenched park-goers on Sunday sauntered through Civic Center with the pungent smell of marijuana hanging in the air.
A capacity crowd huddled under blankets, wearing coats, gloves and hats for sunrise Easter service at Red Rocks Amphitheater early Sunday. About 14 hours later, Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg would lead a very different, but still capacity, crowd through songs such as “Young, Wild & Free” and “Smoke the Weed.”
On the whole, authorities reported no major problems at Sunday’s 4/20 rally at Civic Center Park in Denver. By late afternoon, Denver police had issued 47 citations for public marijuana consumption at the downtown rally, as well as 16 other arrests or citations for other reasons.
With so many events happening in the Denver area, from the bustling U.S. Cannabis Cup at the Denver Mart to the sold-out Snoop Dog/Wiz Khalifa show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Sunday night, we’ll keep you updated on what’s happening around town.
April 20 is now a full-on entertainment holiday in Colorado with promoters and entrepreneurs looking to capture a slice of the massive audiences in the same way they might on Halloween or New Year’s Eve — and music fans are the winners with a dizzying array of music throughout the city.
As the The Cannabist’s editor, I’m incredibly proud of our many contributors — our colleagues at The Denver Post, our content-sharing partners and our many freelancers. And now we’re almost ready to announce our newest contributor, and this one has star power to spare.
