Colorado marijuana edibles will be in Oscar nominee gift bags this year. Well, kind of. Like everything in Hollywood, this is a bit smoke and mirrors. Since it’s still illegal to provide the public with edible samples, the nominees won’t receive the actual product, but will receive an IOU to cash in whenever they want.

There’s no question the cannabis industry is impacting energy use as it goes mainstream. And no one is probably more aware of that than the city of Denver and the growers themselves, who have been working together to improve energy efficiency and lower waste output.
This month, the industry leaders are also throwing a benefit for the Colorado Carbon Fund and pushing for sustainable practices with the first Annual Green Industry Affair, which will include talks and entertainment July 24 at Cervante’s Masterpiece Ballroom.
All ticket and raffle proceeds will benefit the Colorado Carbon Fund.

Races on Dokken’s horizon include the Quad Rock 50 Miles, Bryce Canyon 50K, and Mad Moose Crested Butte 105K. SNEWS talked to her about her alliance with Wana Brands and why she opts for cannabis capsules over other painkillers.
