“Celebrity Weed Freakout” is a reality TV show that needs to happen right now. Here are five other shows we’d like to see. Check out the pitches for “Swamp Stoners” and “Willie Nelson’s Next Top Model.”

A Denver hotel is offering a pot-themed Valentine’s Day package with munchies and a ride to a pot shop. But at the hotel, there’s no smoking allowed.
Gov. John Hickenlooper emerged as Colorado’s reluctant supervisor in the first year of legal recreational marijuana sales, tasked with administering a law he didn’t support as the state set a model for the nation.

Cannabist critics have been reviewing the best (and worst) vape pens on the market all year long, and we’ll continue to review the technology throughout 2015 as well. Here are reviews of 12 vape pens we loved in 2014, as ranked by their popularity on the site.
Part IV in a series: This is full circle, in a way, for the family behind Medicine Man, a Colorado marijuana company that wants to be the Costco of weed. The Williams family’s bet on their business plan, tolerance for risk and willingness to be open about their financial books and personal lives have paid off.
The irony of coming from Colorado to be a judge of coffee shop cannabis at an unexpectedly transformed Amsterdam Cannabis Cup wasn’t lost on me, or most people I talked to over the five-day trip. Why travel 5,000 miles to smoke marijuana when it’s legal right down the street?
Outside of reggae music and pot smoking, mainstream society is mostly ignorant of the rich and eclectic history of Rastafari, a Hebrew-Caribbean hybrid of faith and culture.
Why is vaping the dumbest thing ever? I’ll admit, I think “vape” is a dumb-sounding word and generally looks about as cool as wearing a Bluetooth headset. I’m also partial to the idea that it’s a “half-high,” a poseur way of consuming cannabis and/or nicotine.
Marijuana activists are already planning the 2016 campaign to regulate and legalize the sale of recreational pot in Nevada, home to Las Vegas, one of the world’s biggest tourism destinations. But some tourists won’t have to wait that long to legally buy weed in Las Vegas thanks to the most liberal reciprocity law in the United States.

Owners of medical marijuana dispensaries in Lakewood say the vote to ban retail sales could be the death knell for their businesses.
So apparently getting high in the White House (or at least saying that you did) is the new gold standard for celebrities who love weed. Remember when Willie Nelson smoked up on the White House’s roof? He does — kind of. Snoop Dogg maintains that he got stoned inside the White House — “in the bathroom,” he said. And now stoner-actor Seth Rogen says he’s going to get high in the White House.
On a warm Seattle summer evening in 1978, my wife wanted to talk about my increasingly frequent pot smoking: “I feel you’ve abandoned me, that the person I married — even when you’re sitting next to me on the couch — is not there.”
Interview: Denver artist Kinsey Zaïre is putting her own spin on pipes with a soon-to-be launched ceramics line called “Glazed,” and the star is a petite sparrow pipe with a bowl on its back and an eye for a carb. “Earlier this year, I was sitting around getting high one day and the bowl I was smoking out of was hideous. That’s when I decided to make the perfect little pipe.”

Lawmakers in the nation’s capital voted Tuesday to make it easier than in any state for people who have marijuana convictions to have their criminal records sealed, the latest effort by the city to liberalize its pot laws.
Montevideo, Uruguay — There’s a revolution happening in the streets of this sleepy South American capital — one full of controversial landmines, landmark precedents and intense international heat. It’s the kind of uprising you can smell, and it’s a familiar scent in Colorado.
Septuagenarian stoner Tommy Chong isn’t kicking back just yet. Instead, he’ll be kicking up his heels in the 19th season of ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”
Kayvan Khalatbari generally appears calm, happy and confident, whether he’s on stage for a marijuana policy speech, in the conference room of his Denver Relief pot business, handing out coupons after a comedy show, or seated in one of his Sexy Pizza shops — where the free-pie coupons transform into food.
When Craig Baute opened Creative Density in 2011, there was only one other co-working space in Denver. Now, by his count, the city has eight, and at least four more plan to open by the end of the year, he said.
