Colorado is Full

Dear Mr. Jones

We have your application for state residence but it is unfortunate that we must inform you that yours and all other applications will be denied until further notice. Colorado has accepted its last resident. 23 year old Pierre LaPlant a English major from Mexico City, moved into Grand Junction, filling the last vacant residence in the entire state.

If Pierre decides to leave. We will be happy to inform you.

Sincerely,
Rocky Lancelot
State of Colorado Resident Application Division Manager

DEA Raids Medical Marijuana Lab in Denver

Full Spectrum Laboratories in Denver tests medical marijuana for dispensaries and patients in Colorado and on Thursday it was raided by the D.E.A. and ordered to turn over patient records, violating several H.I.P.A. laws in the process by disclosing the identities of the patients to the officers while the owners were in the state capital, giving there testimony to the Health and Human Services Committee. Recieving word though text message that the DEA were in the process of a raid.

DEA special agent Mike Turner said the administration never comments on ongoing investigations and that he couldn't confirm or deny whether there was a raid. In general, he said "agents don't investigate medical marijuana users or suppliers but that they could be probed if their name surfaced during investigations into large drug trafficking operations."

"We don't target these operations unless they come up in the normal course of our operations," he said of medical marijuana operations.

As of late the Police and DEA statewide have raided a few large grow operations but haven't gone after the regular patient and or caregiver. What is the DEA doing??? Why are they not listening. Have the DEA gone made like the S.S. of old???

Denver Westword: Medical marijuana lab raided

Kush at Casselmans Kick off party

Sundays for me are usually extremely lazy, I don't move from the couch and I smoke heavily! But I am one of the lucky ones, I am able to medicate inside of my own house. For many others who cant medicate inside of there on home for one reason or another, finding a friendly safe place where they are able to go, medicate and socialize will become something of great importance and they will be looking for a place to go. That place my friends is Casselmans bar and venue in Denver.

Today was a great day. Lucky for me, I have been having more and more of those lately and as of late I really see no end in sight. Today was filled with great vibes, good medicine and this, beautiful classic 1975 Volkswagen bus!

STUPID STONER STORY

A great thing happened last year. 2009 saw the explosion of medical marijuana dispensary all across the state including Denver. Several cities put moratoriums in place, outlawing all form of dispensaries with in the city limits. The reason for the moratoriums in the cities are not only driven by pure and un-adulterated ignorance but out of simple fear. Fear because like everything else in life the he public vision of a dispensary is incorrect. They have a vision that a dispensary 1880's opium type den filled to the top with marijuana, hippies sitting around "getting high" while owners, "The Mexican drug cartels" count all the 10's of thousands of dollars they've made that day.

ith the economic downfall, people are broke and hungrier than ever. Around the same time several of the new dispensaries were blooming, Denver was also seeing another trend, not like anything seen before. In the month of December, Denver saw 20 bank robberies, a number not seen since the early Wild Wild West days when gunslingers walked these same streets proud, but people aren't running around demanding that we close all the banks???

What needs to happen, is the public will open there eyes, educate themselves of cannabis, the state and the city laws and soon the public will realize that robbing a dispensary is pointless. There is little medicine on site at all times and the cash isn't in the building to long and most have alarms now and the police are close by at all time. Much like a 7-11. People stopped robbing those after they realized it wasn't worth robbing and the chance of getting caught were high. Until then we will keeping getting stories like this that come though the wire.

Pride and Medicine

Pride and Medicine located at 731 W 6th Ave. Just east of Sante Fe on 6th Ave in the art district.

Pride and Medicine is a sleek, cozy and clean dispensary where Denver residents can obtain there medicine in a safe and sound manner. There is no medicating on site and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Immediately upon entering you the warm of the friendly smiles fills the room and the amazing African pictures on the walls just add to the gallery feel.

I was there a little early and the finishing touches were still being put on but the photos that will one day cover the walls, were all taken by one of the current owners, on one of his recent trips to the oldest part of the world, Ethiopia.
This technically will be the owners first professional showing of any of his work and I for one am really excited for him!

Pride and Medicine had several strains on opening day which was rather nice to see(Ayoda, very tasty Pine Apple TrainWreck Pine Apple Kush, AK47, Super Dank Hash Plant x AK, some classic Maui and some interesting Tooth Fairy which i haven't had a chance to see or try yet and some Durbin Poison) and a wide selection of incredibly tasting edibles made fresh that morning and if you know me I am a humongous fan of the canna-cookie. Pride and Medicine is offering a free cookie to any and every patient ho comes though the door, while supplies last.

There location is easy to find and in a prime spot, sitting on 6th avenue and the neighborhood, the neighborhood is thriving.
