Butane Hash Oil’s Quality Is Largely Determined By The Quality Of Vacuum Oven Used During The Purging Process The popularity level of butane hash oil (BHO) is growing exponentially. BHO (or ‘dabs’) has been around for a long time, but in the last five years it seems like everyone I know is either consuming BHO for the first time, or consuming it more, or they making it themselves. I have a handful of friends that I would consider to be true BHO experts. My criteria for BHO expert is simple – if ...

Uniting the Great Divide Many years ago when I was a “baby activist” I had no idea of the politics of cannabis activism. I was aware and prepared for the un-educated snide remarks and hate grenades launched out of fear. The DEA and Police did not faze me. I was fearless. The first year of my cannabis activism was F U N. Myself, along with my friends and fellow activist, we spent a year creating a movement in our area. We had rallies, petition drives, picnics, and too many education rallies t...

I went to the Retail Cannabis shop on Jan. 01 . 2014 There where 100's in the line, and since I grow my own, I asked someone if I could share their receipt on 420Nurses.com. Here is what legal weed looks like.... A historic day in history!!! It was snowing and raining, yet 1000's all around Colorado were braving the cold for legal weed. The cannabis has to be sold in an oblique container that is child resistant. Total price for 1/4 of weed... almost $90.00!!! Keep in mind that this shop...

Recreational marijuana is now legal to buy in Colorado, and it’s not cheap. But pot smokers who waited in five-hour long lines weren’t necessarily looking for a deal on Green Wednesday. “Our most expensive strains sold the quickest,” said Toni Fox, proprietor of Denver’s 3D Cannabis Center, to The Huffington Post. “We’re closing Monday and Tuesday next week to reassess after the large volume of sales we are seeing.” The Huffington Post spoke with owners at many of the roughly 30 dispensaries tha...

The lines to get into the recreational dispensaries have shortened, but still not completely disappeared, and all of the Mile High City jokes have been made. Even Stephen Colbert has addressed the topic at length on The Colbert Report. But the question remains: What does Colorado’s recent legalization of recreational marijuana mean for tourists? Here are eight tips for out-of-towners to keep in mind: 1. THE CROP KEEPS ON GROWING The expansion of pot shops around Colorado seems to be increasing...

How did you ring in your New Year? In Colorado, we celebrated the end of the era of marijuana prohibition with massive pot parties through the hazy state. Thousands upon thousands flocked to Denver to be one of the first to purchase marijuana legally in over a century. Safe to say, it wasn’t just any New Year. iBAKE Denver was Colorado’s first legal smoke shop. Not just the kind of smoke shop that sells smoking accessories, but a more of the Amsterdam coffee shop smoke shop. Although the sale ...

The black market for weed in Colorado is still thriving, despite the existence of retail shops that sell it legally, according to exclusive interviews with growers, dealers and weed industry experts. There are a number of reasons that people still call their dealers instead of visiting one of the state’s 37 new Amsterdam-style dispensaries, which opened for business Jan. 1. Number one is the price: retail weed in Colorado sells for a whopping $65 or $70 an eighth, depending on quality. Those h...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) came out in favor of medical marijuana Thursday in a Las Vegas Sun interview, becoming one of the highest elected officials in the U.S. government to give his support. “If you’d asked me this question a dozen years ago, it would have been easy to answer — I would have said no, because [marijuana] leads to other stuff,” Reid was quoted as saying. “But I can’t say that anymore.” “I think we need to take a real close look at this,” he added. “I think t...

Marijuana History In United States Sees Milestone, Pot First Banned In California 100 Years Ago Free the weed Stricken with cerebral palsy after almost being strangled in the womb by his umbilical cord, the 41-year-old Valley Village resident takes a few puffs of medical marijuana and immediately feels relief. “Weed works,” he says simply. The “Diablo Kush” and “Velvet Kush” strains from Reseda Discount Caregivers dispensary relax his stiffly contorted muscles and stave off the severe depress...

Here is the part I was in...... "While the CSO made a big splash in the press and quickly attracted the city’s attention, iBake Denver, a pipe shop and cannabis club, has been quietly operating in Denver since February 2013. Littletree Oppy & Thurlow Weed, iBake’s owners, say the business qualifies as a tobacconist and is therefore exempt from the state’s smoking ban. Smoking and hanging-out privileges are reserved for members who pay a $10 monthly fee. Oppy says iBake, which sells soft drinks...

This is the story of iBake Denver. So for all those out there who say we need to make it nicer or we need to do this and that and make changes..... look where we started. You should be very proud... I am. I don't want it to change. I have made it the way that I think it should be. This is how community was on our commune.

Congress To Hold Hearings On State And Federal Marijuana Conflict By Erik Altieri, NORML Communications Director Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has scheduled a hearing to address the conflict between state and federal marijuana laws. “It is important, especially at a time of budget constraints, to determine whether it is the best use of federal resources to prosecute the personal or medicinal use of marijuana in states that have made such consumption legal,” Senator Leahy stated, “I believe th...

Throughout my life I have tended to subscribe to the view that everything “bad” could somehow be good for you. I was thoroughly vindicated in this with the discovery that red wine prevents cancer, heart disease, and wrinkles. Now it seems that cannabis is good for the skin and Medical Marijuana Inc, a publicly-quoted company, launched an anti-aging beauty products line starring super-concentrated, cannabis-enriched hemp oil starting December 2013. Now before you get too high on the idea that ca...

With a majority of Americans now in favor marijuana legalization, President Barack Obama is now saying weed is no more dangerous to individuals’ health than alcohol. In an interview with the New Yorker’s David Remnick published Sunday, Obama said while he believes marijuana is “not very healthy,” the drug isn’t as harmful as some insist. “As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a youn...

Denver (CNN) – Iraq war veteran Sean Azzariti described his purchase of recreational marijuana — legally — as a historic moment Wednesday. “It’s huge,” he said at a marijuana store along a light industrial corridor outside downtown Denver. “It hasn’t even sunk in how big this is yet.” Indeed, before the 3D Cannabis Center opened at 8 a.m. MT, more than 100 people were waiting in snowfall and cold under gray skies to be the next buyers of recreational pot under a landmark law voters approved in...

It’s not every day you read a book that blows the lid off of everything you’ve ever been taught about drugs, but Dr. Carl Hart’s recent work, “High Price,” does just that. Part memoir, part myth-buster, the fast-paced read details his journey from a violent Miami ghetto to the halls one of the world’s most prestigious universities. At the heart of “High Price” is the argument that current U.S. drug policies are not only morally wrong, but scientifically wrong as well, a game of politics and f...

U.S. treasury and law enforcement agencies will soon issue regulations opening banking services to state-sanctioned marijuana businesses even though cannabis remains classified an illegal narcotic under federal law, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Thursday.Holder said the new rules would address problems faced by newly licensed recreational pot retailers in Colorado, and medical marijuana dispensaries in other states, in operating on a cash-only basis, without access to banking services or ...

Good news, Uruguayan potheads — your weed habit is about to get a whole lot cheaper. Uruguay’s lower house passed an unprecedented bill last week that legalizes marijuana and regulates the production, distribution, and sale of weed for adult consumers. El Pais now reports via Univision that the bill fixes the price of marijuana around $2.50 per gram. The bill is up for vote in the Senate, where it is expected to be passed, and finally signed into law by President José Mujica, a longtime support...

Colorado recently attempted to pass multiple Bills that would endanger the cannabis community as a whole. The first bill that attracted the public eye was a "conversation" about a bill that would limit caregivers to only being allowed to grow up to 6 plants per patient and no more than 30 per caregiver. This Bill would also require Doctors to violate the Doctor / patient confidentiality agreement by requiring the Doctor to go into full detail to the State about the patients medical conditions. C...

Police raid at an Amsterdam-style cannabis lounge in Denver has triggered a debate over where adults can smoke pot in a state that allows recreational marijuana consumption — but not in public. Denver police showed up last week at Maryjane’s Social Club, one of dozens of private pot-smoking clubs in Colorado operating in a legal gray area. The officers handcuffed smokers, seized drug paraphernalia and ticketed the club’s owner for violating state law banning indoor cigarette smoking. Three peop...
