Our fourth season of CannaVenture kicked off this past Sunday at Eldorado Canyon State Park. While we have been gifted sunny skies and beautiful weather the past few years for our season openers, Mother Nature had other plans for our April hike along Rattlesnake Gulch. In spite of the threat of clouds, rain and chills,…
I’ve always contended that weed and nature, or rather, weed in nature are harmonious. Perhaps the best case for marijuana not being roped in with other “drugs” is its uncanny ability to slow the senses while opening your mind to using them more….at the same time. But to truly appreciate the latter, I must tip…
Stepping onto a trail is one of the most rewarding feelings; it’s the promise of adventure, the acknowledgment of difficulty, the dedication to the final ascent. For me, hiking is the perfect excuse to turn a dog walk or a reflection into an outdoor activity that leaves me exhausted, often aching from the strain I…
When I plan for a hike, the first things I check are the trail conditions and the weather as these will largely determine everything else about your hike, including what you should wear.

This is especially true of areas that border or house the nation’s national park sites, over a third of which have been…
As you may already be aware, 2018 was an incredible year for cannabis, with advances in both social perception and support of cannabis use as well as legal advances on a grand scale. Efforts to legalize cannabis are now happening across the globe, in places like Asia and South America in addition to more than…
In my life, I’ve probably tried and failed to commit to over a dozen New Year’s resolutions. Everything from the cliché and overdone, “I’m going to go to the gym five times a week starting January 1st,” to more personalized self-improvement goals like quitting cigarettes or being a better listener.
