The owners of Denver's Simply Pure marijuana dispensary want to stand out in the white, male-dominated marijuana industry. That's not hard to do considering they're among the few people of color nationwide to head a cannabis company. Wanda James and her husband Scott Durrah became one of...

The fact cannabis isn't legalised is perplexing for many reasons. Let me start with the perception that legalisation will throw our country into ruin and lead to our children being hopeless drug addicts. This sort of talk comes from people who may mean well, but have a loose grip on the...

"I did want to start with a quick ice breaker," Kobi Waldfogel, our tour guide, tells the bus. "We'll go around, state your name... or alias if you choose, where you're from, and your favorite slang term for marijuana." As a tourist in Denver, a city I'd only been to once before, this...

Vancouver — A pot expo is taking over the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre this weekend — but it won't be like the controversial 420 rallies. Marijuana is entering the mainstream ahead of next year's federal legalization. Over 130 marijuana-related businesses and more than 10,000 people...
