  • Why Colorado Tokers Love Sage N Sour

    May 23, 2019, 8:12 am By Toke of the Town
    The name is a little much, but SAGE (Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium) has always been underrated in the legalized version of Denver, and can only be found in a few dispensaries…if you’re lucky. A precursor to Girl Scout Cookies, Gorilla Glue and other…

  • Ten Mouthwatering Marijuana Strains

    May 17, 2019, 7:29 am By Toke of the Town
    Dispensaries tend to sell their cannabis to customers based on indica, sativa and hybird or nighttime/daytime designations, but I’m a flavor guy. Give me something new, juicy or pungent. I don’t care if it’s gassy, fruity, creamy, earthy, sour or floral…
  • Former Native Roots Exec Authors “Cannabis for Dummies”

    May 16, 2019, 7:24 am By Toke of the Town
    Nothing is that legitimate unless there’s a book about it for dummies. My dad learned how to coach Little League basketball and install Windows 97 thanks to the triangle-headed nerd who’s been on the cover of nearly 2,500 different self-help guides,…

    May 13, 2019, 7:57 am By Toke of the Town

    May 11, 2019, 8:55 am By Toke of the Town

    May 8, 2019, 2:26 pm By Toke of the Town
