Boulder or Anywhere, Eyelid Tremor Is NOT Associated With Recent THC Use

March 6th, 2024

  Boulder is not alone in sometimes using eyelid tremor as one of the “roadside maneuvers.”  These voluntary tests are intended to identify impaired drivers. Part of the standard police roadside gymnastics to identify recent THC/marijuana use is to claim to observe “eyelid tremor.” In a study first posted on-line in February, 2024, that belief is called into serious doubt. The study, largely Colorado based including significant involvement from the University of Colorado and Anschutz Medical Center The strong local research participation ties are spelled out in the... Read More

Boulder’s Guide to Legally Enjoying Cannabis: Where to Light Up?

March 3rd, 2024

  Boulderites, visitors, and adults throughout Colorado face a major challenge. “Now that I’ve legally bought my weed, where can I smoke it?? This could be the single most difficult question facing marijuana consumers, visitors or residents,  presented by legalization. Bud tenders are asked on a daily basis “where can I smoke the weed I just purchased legally?” NO LEGAL ADVICE HERE!

Hotels all come with rolling papers if you get stuck. The Gideon’s Bible has several blank pages in each volume, and it works fine. Then I read the list of the 100 plus chemicals that were added to my inhale by the combustion of the flower. While vaping was convenient, I had ongoing concerns. First, the cartridges, in a legal state (assuming that government testing prevents... Read More

From Boulder and I Do Not Smoke Weed

December 30th, 2023

  I’m a long time lover of the Devil’s Lettuce, and all of its 105+ cannabinoids. I am however not a fan of the 100+ chemicals which combustion adds to to cannabis. Meaning I do not like smoking. Cannabis yes. Combustion no. I am not a fan of edibles, since they typically have one or both of two cannabinoids; THC and CBD. What about the other 103+ cannabinoids? To fit the market I suspect, most flower seems to have high THC and zero CBD. Selfishly personally I prefer flower with all of the cannabinoids present. For the enhancement of the “unpleasant side effects” I... Read More

September 13th, 2023

Though cannabis plays host to at least 85 different cannabinoids, there are two who tend to grab the most time in the spotlight: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). You’ve probably heard talk—or formed opinions yourself through careful research of your own—about preferences of marijuana users for certain strains that give them that amazing head high or, conversely, those who prefer a nice, mellow body buzz. These differences can be attributed to the makeup of a particular strain and its ratios of THC to CBD. Beyond the effect these two cannabinoids have on recreational experiences,... Read More
