Vape Pens and Vape Cartridges

Saturday, October 13th, 2018

The very first blog I wrote for The Greenery was about vape pens—that was seventy-five blogs ago, and I told you how old I felt on my first day working here, because in my day, all you could do was smoke pot, but now, you can vaporize distilled CO2 cannabis oil with a ceramic atomizer… […]

The History of Cannabis

Saturday, September 22nd, 2018

I lied to you. I promised that this week, I’d write something light after that post about the history of cannabis prohibition which was followed by that piece about the endocannabinoid system, and yet here I sit, about to write something about the history of cannabis. So, I apologize. However, in my never-ending fight to […]

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

Saturday, September 8th, 2018

I’m so, so sorry for throwing two blogs like this one at you back-to-back. Last week’s post was a little dry because we talked about the history of cannabis prohibition, and I’m afraid this week’s post about the ECS isn’t going to be much better. I promise that next week, we’ll go back to talking […]

Why is Marijuana Illegal?

Saturday, September 1st, 2018

Well, it isn’t in Colorado, but we’re much smarter than those federal people who can’t seem to figure out that pot is just a plant. However, it’s not really their fault when you think about it because ignorance is an insidious thing when it gets intrenched, and that’s what Washington has been dealing with for […]

Dealing with your Friendly Neighborhood Dispensary Budtender

Saturday, August 25th, 2018

I have strict rules for tipping: at the bar, it’s a dollar per drink, at the restaurant, it’s twenty-percent for awesome service, and a passive-aggressive fifteen-percent for anything less. But the first time I purchased legal weed, I had no idea what to do—there was a tip jar by the register, so when I bought […]

August’s Best Bud of the Month

Tuesday, August 21st, 2018

Kevin Grady Budtender, Product Research Team Member About your Best Bud: Kevin is everybody’s friend. Seriously. Everyone who comes in here gives him a warm hello or a wave as if he’s Norm from Cheers; Kevin is the only budtender I know who has groupies. And that makes sense because he’s the salty bartender type […]

Dispensary FAQs

Saturday, August 11th, 2018

As a budtender, I’ve heard them all: Is marijuana instantly addictive? Will this stuff make me see flying animals? Would you please mail some of that marijuana sex spray to me here in South Africa? For real, I’ve answered all these questions, and I tried my best to do so with a straight face. And […]

June’s Best Bud of the Month

Saturday, June 23rd, 2018

Roy Williams CEO Madrone Farms About your Best Bud: Roy doesn’t work for The Greenery, but he’s your Best Bud for June, and here’s why: he cares about Durango. When the 416 Fire started rolling through our forests, many of our vendors sent us well wishes, which was nice, but their thoughts didn’t do much […]

New Pricing at our Durango Dispensary

Saturday, June 16th, 2018

In the beginning, we had no idea what they were going to throw at us when it came to taxes. Frankly, back in ’14, businesses such as ours were willing to accept even the most astronomical rates simply so we could get away with selling legal marijuana; it was a means to an end. And […]
