Fort Collins’ first dispensary talks evolution of recreational weed

By Sarah Ehrlich @sarahehrlich96

Seeing how much Fort Collins has grown in the cannabis community would leave you in a daze…or maybe it’s what you’re smoking.

Out of the dozens of dispensaries in the area, the first has remained relevant

since the legalization of recreational cannabis in 2014.

Choice Organics commits themselves to creating safe, quality products and keeping up with changing trends.

A lot has changed in four short years, and, like their counterparts, this dispensary wants to keep enhancing the perception of cannabis.

“We want destigmatization, and it’s all about education in that regard,” Choice Organics employee Kyle Wilson said. “We want to give our customers knowledge before giving them a product so they can at least walk out with new information. Uncle Sam has his end it in too, so there is

regulation.”

Employees take compliance laws and safety seriously, as there are always negative stigmas surrounding cannabis and those who use it. These budtenders have seen all walks of life come through their operation.

Walking into the lobby of Choice Organics is the first

example of connecting the grower with the consumer.

Large windows let customers get a peek into one of the grow rooms that the dispensary has on site, showcasing rows of female cannabis plants nearly ready to be harvested and made into different products. see DISPENSARY on page 20 >>

Students Against White Supremacy call for removal of TPUSA from campus

By Rachel Telljohn & Julia Trowbridge @CSUCollegian

Turning Point USA’s Colorado State University chapter is the buzz of campus this semester after bringing the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, to campus. Now, some students are calling for the organization’s removal.

A change.org petition created

by Students Against White Supremacy, another student group new to campus, was posted online Monday, April 9. As of Wednesday, April 18, the petition had 103 signatures.

In February, CSU students created a coalition, Students Against White Supremacy, to expose white supremacy on campus, create a cultural shift away from white supremacy and educate CSU students on how to work against subconsciously promoting white supremacy. The coalition’s creation was largely in response to incidents of hate and white supremacy found on campus throughout the year, including white pride posters and anti-Muslim incidents.

The efforts of SAWS are focused on creating a conversation on campus that acknowledges

white supremacy, especially following the appearance of white nationalists at the Charlie Kirk event in February.

Since the creation of the petition, TPUSA communications director, Candace Owens, spoke on the CSU Plaza. Erica LaFehr, a member of SAWS, was filmed responding to Owens and the video has since been shared on social media by Owens, who has about 275,000 followers on Facebook.

LaFehr wrote in an email to The Collegian she has been inundated with violent messages via social media.

“As a single mother, this has been incredibly nervewracking for myself and my daughter, not to mention all my friends and family who love me,” LaFehr wrote. “At the same time, it is unsurprising given the fact that, prior to TPUSA, Owens had constructed an entire site dedicated to doxxing people whose viewpoints differed from hers called Social Autopsy.”

TPUSA’s removal would have to come from the University, rather than the petition. In an email to The Collegian, Mike Hooker, director of public affairs and communications, explained student organizations can face disciplinary action as the result

of violation of policies set by the University.

“CSU has an established process for recognizing student organizations, part of a system of student governance that has been developed through generations of studentssteadfastlyfightingforthe right to organize without undue influence from the administration or outside organizations,” Hooker wrote. “All student clubs and organizations enjoy rights and privileges associated with official recognition by the University.”

To LaFehr, TPUSA does not fall in-line with the notion of ‘Rams take care of Rams.’

“I personally don’t feel cared for right now,” LaFehr wrote.

“I know countless others who didn’t feel safe after the multiple instances of the ‘free speech wall’ and the appearance of actual Neo-Nazis on our campus. So, we started this petition to have TPUSA removed because of the toxicity that it promotes.”

According to TPUSA’s website, their purpose is to educate students on the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government. Isabel Brown, chapter president of TPUSA at CSU, declined to comment on the petition to remove TPUSA from campus.

Brown did respond to sentiments expressed by SAWS at CSUnite.

“Turning Point USA at CSU has repeatedly, and will continue to, denounce groups like the Traditionalist Workers Party and other parasitic white supremacist groups and organizations,” Brown wrote in a statement to The Collegian following CSUnite. “...

Turning Point USA at CSU stands for the two pillars of limited government and free markets— no more, no less—and we invite any student who may disagree with our organization to engage in productive dialogue with our student leaders moving forward.”

SAWS interrupted the CSUnite demonstration on March 29 and said they do not support a false sense of unity since incidents of hate happen on campus. LaFehr said she did not feel CSUnite could truly work to unite.

“How do you unite with people with inherently violent ideas?” LaFehr said. “You’re forcing the oppressed to side with the oppressor for the sake of everyone getting along.”

TPUSA expressed their support for CSUnite. In a letter to the editor, conservative students appealed for an apology from SAWS for their disruption of CSUnite, but Alex Scott, another

member of SAWS member, replied with another letter to the editor saying SAWS did not owe conservative students an apology, but rather the groups should have discussions on their ideals.

Members of SAWS explained TPUSA is their primary focus, because they are concerned that the nationwide organization may use members who are also student government representatives to decrease funding for progressive student organizations. Scott described TPUSA as “auspiciously insidious.”

“We aren’t targeting the College Republicans, we aren’t targeting Young Americans for Liberty, and that’s for a very specific reason,” Scott said. “They don’t have a track record of recordings of their leaders saying that ‘the reason we exist is to target campus elections.’”

Scott explained the presence of SAWS is designed to help change the availability of knowledge around white supremacy on the CSU campus.

“By the essence of our group existing, we’re creating a larger conversation,” Scott said.

ratifies new constitution, hears I Love CSU Day ASCSU proposal on increased student fees celebrates CSU

By Natalia Sperry @Natalia_Sperry

By Meagan Stackpool @MeaganStackpool

By governors proclamation, April 18 is “I Love CSU Day”.

To celebrate, the Alumni Center placed 1,500 green hearts around campus and gave out free donuts, coffee and Colorado State University gear.

Alumni Engagement Manager Dakota Schuppe expressed the significance of “I Love CSU Day.” Shuppe explained that every year the governor declares April 18 as CSU Day. This year, the Alumni Center, who owns the rights to “I Love CSU Day,” decided to shake things up. Schuppe explained further that “I Love CSU Day” was all about showing off Ram Pride. All students had to do was wear their ram gear and show their love for the university.

The Alumni Center had staff in golf carts riding around all over campus, handing out free green and gold apparel to anyone wearing CSU attire.

Amy Jo Miller, the director of communications for the Alumni Center, described why this year’s “I Love CSU Day” was so different from previous years.

“We just decided that there hasn’t been enough done with it in the past and we really needed to blow it up and make a big deal out of it,” Miller said. “(We wanted to) get people excited and really flaunt that stewardship, just celebrating the university and everything going on here.”

Ram fans with all different types of relationships with

the university showed up in support of CSU. The Alumni Center estimated 1000 people came for free food and celebrated their school pride.

Happy Bennett, a web content coordinator for the university, explained why she came to the Alumni Center for the event.

“I am an alumni, I am an employee, I am a donor and I am a ram fan,” Bennett said.

“I really enjoy looking around campus and seeing all of the students, who I find to be super enthusiastic people of different ages and backgrounds and that they’re all pursuing some type facet of their dream, and it’s just energizing. I feel like our futures in really good hands” The ram pride was not specific to alumni. Megan Oldham, a junior studying human development and family studies, explained why she appreciates “I Love CSU Day.” “I think its really cool that we can all get together and appreciate the university because it does affect us all in different ways and impacts us in different ways, but we all (share) that we love this university and we wanna celebrate it,” Oldham said.

The Alumni Center’s hope for ramping up the celebrations for “I Love CSU Day: is that the new additions become a staple of the university.

“My hope, secretly is that it becomes an expectation every year, and a mini homecoming in terms of peoples engagement and excitement,” Miller said.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University Senate heard Student Fee Review Board’s proposal for the student fee package for 2018-2019 in addition to passing the new constitution and ratifying the executive job descriptions presented by President-elect Tristan Syron and Vice president-elect Kevin Sullivan Wednesday night.

New constitution passes unanimously in second vote of 24-0-0 ASCSU Senate unanimously passed a new constitution in its second vote, featuring an updated impeachment process, the redaction of executive sessions and clarified language.

Senator Connor Cheadle, the author of the new constitution, said ASCSU’s constitution had not been extensively updated since approximately 1998 in an interview with the Collegian.

While the constitution is ratified by the student body each year, there has been no successful redrafting of the document in that time, despite several attempts in previous administrations, Cheadle said.

PROPOSED GENERAL FEES ■ Full-time, on-campus students

$1,202.56 ■ Full-time, off-campus students $480.07 ■ Part-time, on-campus students $312.54 ■ Part-time, off-campus students $206.34 “ASCSU has had constitutional problems for the last three administrations,” Cheadle said. “We have done something that has plagued us for a decade plus. This will change the entire nature of how we work, the culture, the attitude, the efficiency -- all of that will change.”

The constitution specifically changes the impeachment process in addition to several organizational clarifications to ASCSU’s three-branch system and sub-committees and roles.

Under the new constitution, the formal impeachment investigation process is given over to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Student Resolution Services.

As such, any future impeachments must begin with a report to either OEO or SRS, Cheadle said.

However, Cheadle said the ASCSU’s court system still offers a potential means for a removal

process due to the internal complaint system and built-in ethics system.

Cheadle said the University Administration wanted to significantly change the impeachment system following the impeachment of Josh Silva in the fall semester.

“I think we deserve to have a system in which we are able to remove our people, HR or not,” Cheadle said. “If we are an independent organization, we should be able to fire our people.”

In clarifying legislative processes, the constitution also instates a new statutes process similar to that of the United States Congress. This is intended to keep track of all the active executive, legislative and judicial documents, Cheadle said.

Cheadle said he hopes that, with the clarified constitution, ASCSU can now look beyond the internal issues of the body, by allowing the organization to better focus their efforts.

“We get a lot of criticism for being too focused internally,” Cheadle said. “We were focused internally because we had internal problems. We had to focus on ourselves first before we could even begin to focus externally.

This constitution fixes that.”

Student fees presented to senate Vice President Cole Wise presented the proposed fee increases for the 2018-2019 academic year to the Senate on behalf of the Student Fee Review Board.

For full-time, on-campus students the proposed fee increase is $18.82, a 1.59 percent rise from the current fee. Wise said this was the lowest fee increase seen in quite some time.

“I had the unique opportunity of coming in at semester,” Wise said. “We worked really hard to make sure that we were very

cooperative and kept the lines of communication up throughout the whole thing.”

Wise said most of the increases were the result of rising mandatory costs, including minimum wage, maintenance and salary increases.

Next week, the body will vote to approve the fee package. If it passes, the proposed package will move on for the Board of Governors to finalize.

Executive positions ratified, reflect new administration’s goal In a vote of 24-0-1, the ASCSU Senate approved the executive job descriptions presented by President-elect Tristan Syron and Vice president-elect Kevin Sullivan. The jobs reflect the goals of Syron and Sullivan to deliver on campaign promises such as improved parking, informative registration and food insecurity.

Sullivan said clarifying expected collaboration across executive roles was a priority in shaping the administration.

“It’s kind of like if you were building a puzzle, and everyone had different pieces, you couldn’t make the puzzle without sharing the pieces,” Sullivan said.

Changes to the roles also include a proposed audit of American Disability requirements being met on campus by the Director of Diversity and Inclusion and an increased presence of the Graduate Affairs Director in order to better represent graduate students.

“Every single change that was presented to us, we accepted, because it’s really up to you all what we do with these,” Syron said.

#MeToo & Radical SelfLove event places focus on survivors of sexual assault

By Charlotte Lang @ChartrickWrites

Colorado State University’s first annual #MeToo & Radical Self-Love event took place Wednesday evening at the Lory Student Center. Hosted by the Women and Gender Advocacy Center and Ram Events, this event was one of the many taking place in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The evening offered a chance for primary and secondary survivors of sexual violence to explore themes such as healing and rejuvenation.

“Events like this are very important, especially during Sexual Assault Awareness Month,” said Hannah Manning of WGAC’s Red Whistle Brigade and one of the workers for the event. “It’s crucial for survivors because. . . these people are already aware. What are we doing for them?”

Bailey Schmidt, another worker at the event, said she hoped for the event to impact people “in a way of (people) being able to build a community where they feel comfortable and safe and able to heal.”

Kristy Kumar, WGAC assistant director of educational programs, said this month is meant to promote awareness and educate communities on sexual assault. The #MeToo & Radical Self-Love event, having been in the works for approximately two and a half months, focuses on the survivors.

“So often, we talk about this word self-care but we never really talk about how to do it,” Kumar said. “This event was not about saying the right way to do that. It was about saying ‘hey, I want an evening of compassion for myself … in a radical glorious way.’”

Kumar said over 150 students attended the event, proving its necessity on the campus.

“The number of folks that showed up to this event highlight the need and the want for recognition around survivorship,” Kumar said.

“Often, society has let survivors know to suppress their stories, not take it public. And that’s fine for some folks but I think this event highlighted a declaration saying ‘I’m a primary or secondary survivor and I deserve justice, resources, time and space to learn strategies around healing.’”

According to Kumar, intentionality and collaboration

were important factors in the creation of this event.

“There was a lot of intentionality around every single room design and a lot of collaboration,” Kumar said.

“Each room collaborated with each student diversity programs and services office.”

The Student Diversity Programs and Servies offices that collaborated include the Black/ African American Cultural Center, Asian/Pacific American Cultural Center, Native American Cultural Center, El Centro, Pride Resource Center and Resources for Disabled Students.

While there were many open sessions for anyone to take part in, a few focuses for the night were the affinity spaces for those who identified with specific cultural offices.

“There’s a philosophy around the importance of . . . identity-based healing,” Kumar said. “Knowing that we have multiple intersecting identities, we wanted to offer culturally specific healing . . . Healing is different for everybody and, oftentimes, we are healing from systems-based and identitybased oppression. So, addressing that was really important to us tonight.”

While many rooms focused on the affinity aspect, open spaces were also offered to anyone who wished to join them. Various areas of the LSC were filled with activities such as massages, therapy dogs and sensory grounding.

Kumar said the most popular activity was the Rage Room— a place for participants to shred papers and break ceramics with hammers while discussing healthy ways to deal with such anger.

“We had a line outside of the Rage Room the entire evening.

That tells us something,” Kumar said. “There’s a lot of rage.”

The night was inspired by Sonya Renee Taylor’s The Body is Not Apology, a book handed out at the end of the night.

“Radical self-love is indeed our inherent natural state,” Kumar quoted. “But … the systems around us have distracted us from that knowing.”

The goal of this event was to move closer to that inherent state of being and, according to Kumar, this goal was absolutely reached.

Dr. Blanche Hughes gives speech at ASCSU Women’s Caucus

By Matt Bailey

Hughes explains how she initially wanted to pursue a career in which she would work with children, saying that she admires how children can be open, honest and non-judgmental.

Instead, Hughes started taking up several different professional positions at CSU beginning as a graduate student, and she said these positions prepared her for the student affairs position she holds today.

Hughes said she was eventually inspired by a colleague to take a student affairs position.

“I had a mentor, an African American woman, who was the Associate Vice President here, and she used to tell me, ‘one day, you’re going to have my job,’” Hughes said. “And I said, ‘no way, I don’t want your job, your job’s too stressful,’ and she said ‘If none of us as women, as people of color or anyone of marginalized identities, are willing to take these leadership positions and be at the table when decisions are made that change the system for everybody, then change is never going to happen.’”

Hughes said her job entails giving students chances and maintaining a positive attitude at all times, two aspects of her job that she learned through her upbringing in segregated Lexington, Kentucky.

As Vice President of Student

@mattnes1999

Dr. Blanche Hughes, vice president for Student Affairs at Colorado State University, delivered a speech Wednesday from 4-5 p.m. at the Lory Student Center Senate Chambers that was hosted by the Associated Students of CSU. Hughes focused her speech on the experiences she had and the decisions she made in life that influenced and lead her to becoming the Vice President for Student Affairs at CSU, as well as the problems she has faced in relation to her identities, specifically as a woman of color Hughes said that at the beginning of her career people would often explain to her how stressful student affairs positions were and how the workload didn’t leave much time for a family. This was especially discouraging since Hughes already had one child.

“I can honestly say I did not ever want to be a vice president of student affairs,” Hughes said. “One of the biggest reasons why I didn’t want to do that was because as I got into my career of student affairs, I did not see very many women, and I didn’t see many women of color and I didn’t see many women of color with children, that were vice presidents of student affairs.”

Affairs, Hughes has experienced issues with people and even fellow coworkers in relation to her identities over the years, and during the question and answer segment of her speech, she gave students advice on how to push past these issues in the workplace.

Hughes explained that people should always try to understand other peoples’ backgrounds and life stories in order to understand their views.

“I don’t get angry a lot, and I will still try to have a conversation,” Hughes said. “If it was a safe environment, I’d love to talk to white supremacists. I want to know what happened to you. Help me to understand why you hate me when you don’t even know me.”

Hughes discussed several challenges for women throughout the question and answer panel, but she explained that the biggest challenge for women on campus is maintaining confidence, and the second biggest challenge is building alliances.

“Having confidence that you belong here, that you do have things to say, is a big thing,” Hughes said. “We as women need to look for allies among women and men.

Benefits and misconceptions of hemp

business sense

Hemp hemp, hooray Selling weed good Savannah Orth

Ryan Tougaw

@SavannahOrth

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

With an industry that is growing as fast as the cannabis industry, there unfortunately has not been enough time or resources dedicated to educating consumers on all they’re buying into. One of the common misconceptions comes from preconceived notions about hemp.

Hemp is the nonpsychoactive portion of the cannabis plant, containing less than 0.3 percent THC. One of the biggest misunderstandings people commonly have is that hemp will get them high.

While hemp comes from the same plant, it cannot legally be classified as hemp unless it has less than 0.3 percent THC, making it impossible to get you high (sorry!)

If this distinction is news to you, don’t feel bad. Even the United States government hasn’t fully grasped the difference between weed and hemp.

Hemp is classified as a schedule 1 drug, meaning according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, it has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

To give you a better idea of what this scheduling means, the other schedule 1 drugs include heroin, LSD, ecstasy and meth.

The earliest recorded usage of hemp dates all the way back to 1632. In the 17th century, farmers in three states were ordered by law to grow hemp, and by the 18th century people could be put in jail for not growing hemp on their lands.

In 1970, the U.S. government passed the Controlled Substance Act that declared cannabis to be an illegal substance to grow.

The Controlled Substance Act did not differentiate hemp and THC. Because of this, for the past few years hemp has had to be imported rather than grown here.

In order to change this, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015 was proposed to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of ‘marijuana’ used in the Controlled Substance Act.

@rjtougaw

Apart from the THC content levels, there are also several physical characteristics that differentiate a hemp plant from a marijuana plant.

PHOTO COURTESY OF MIKE SULLIVAN COLLEGIAN

Unfortunately, this act has not made much progress. Luckily, the push to legalize hemp didn’t stop there.

The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 has taken over. As of April 13 the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 received its official number, now known as Senate Bill 266. The U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senators Ron Wyden, Rand Paul and Jeff Merkley introduced this senate bill in what is now a historic moment for the entire hemp industry. The same day McConnell announced U.S. Rep. Jamie Comer is introducing a companion bill in the House of Representatives.

The Hemp Industries Association estimated the total retail value of all hemp products sold in the U.S. in 2014 to be $620 million. Although an amazing intake of revenue, all of the raw hemp material was imported from other countries due to the Controlled Substance Act. This means an immense loss of profits for the United States.

Hemp has a plethora of uses – more than 50,000. Hemp can be used as clothing, paper, health food, nutraceuticals, pet products, milk, construction material, biofuel, medicine and much more.

As college students we can benefit from all hemp has to offer.

In college, we are bombarded with schoolwork, relationships, extracurricular activities, internships and jobs. Because of

this many students turn to using Adderall or other stimulants in order to balance everything on their plates.

Adderall is a stimulant prescribed to people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Many people with ADHD have reported using hemp oil in place of their Adderall prescription in order to treat the symptoms of their ADHD. Even for people who are not diagnosed with ADHD, hemp oil can have the same positive effects on the ability to focus and manage the stresses associated with college.

Unfortunately, 1 in 5 college students are affected with anxiety or depression. The use of hemp to decrease these all-toocommon mental health problems is becoming more and more common. The pharmaceuticals normally prescribed for anxiety and depression use selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors which help block the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. Studies have shown that use of hemp in the form of CBD oils has the same effect on our brains as these prescribed SSRIs. Hemp is a natural product with a multitude of benefits and no side effects. There are so many amazing companies in the cannabis industry that work with hemp products. This weekend, 4/20, is a great time to go to events to learn more about hemp and to try it out yourself.

Editor’s Note: All opinion section content reflects the views of the individual author only and does not represent a stance taken by the Collegian or its editorial board.

It seems that the complete legalization of cannabis is now a matter of when, not if, as more and more states start to pass legislation to allow the sale of the drug.

While still federally illegal, nine states have legalized recreational cannabis while another 20 have legalized the usage of cannabis for medical reasons.

But while people argue about the merits of cannabis itself, the business and financial possibilities that legalization opens are staggering to say the least.

In 2015, legal weed sales increased by 42 percent, meaning Colorado took in quite a bit of tax revenue.

During that same year, Coloradoans purchased $996 million worth of weed.

That’s quite a bit of green.

It’s going to be difficult for legislatures around the nation to resist an extra hundred million or so dollars in tax revenue.

Initially, in Colorado at least, there was some reticence as to whether or not weed would be a worthwhile investment. Concerns were raised over driving under the influence of cannabis and whether or not the commonality of the drug would impact youth usage rates.

While the data on all of that is foggy at best, partly due to a plurality of misinformation from both sides of the debate and partly from a lack of clearly defined standards and abilities to actually measure the drug’s influence as reliably as, say alcohol for instance, what is in no way foggy at all is the raw cash flow that cannabis is bringing to both governments and businesses.

By 2019, cannabis is expected to be a $30 billion industry. For comparison, the U.S. coffee industry also comes in around about $30 billion annually.

I’m not a betting person but were I to throw my chips anywhere in the realm of new and growing industries, it would definitely be the weed industry. However, cannabis sales are not without their downsides.

Primarily, it’s still federally illegal. If the federal government felt like raiding a weed locker in Fort Collins for illegal growth, they could, and the prosecution would be valid.

Next, cannabis is hard to grow, especially from just a seed. In order to actually become the plant we’re all familiar with, cannabis needs to flow to produce THC. In order to do this, the plant needs no more and no less than 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. This is why most pot farms are indoors and locked in basements; this way, growers can control the light and temperature to get the highest yield from the plant.

Weed also needs a specific temperature to grow appropriately. If it’s too hot, the plant will grow slowly. Too humid, and the buds start to rot.

In order to get all the right equipment for the best plants, costs can get up to around about $1,000 for temperature control and meters, but a normal grow box can go for about $300. Assuming everything goes well after planting, harvest is expected about 70 days after flowering.

Bear in mind that all this is for a tiny little plot of 6 plants, the legal limit to grow according to Colorado State law.

Swell these costs all the way up to a full building or two, and the costs and risks become apparent for commercial growers trying to sell their crop to the public. So, while cannabis is an incredibly lucrative product with a seemingly endless demand, the costs of growing, culturing and harvest and also the small matter of not getting arrested are factors that must be reckoned with.

But if Coloradoans alone can build a billion-dollar weed industry in just a few years, why not try?

Story’s up-and-down start mirrors Rockies’ early-season offense

By Patrick Saunders The Denver Post

In the fourth inning of Monday night’s game, Trevor Story put a perfect swing on Steven Brault’s hanging slider, driving the ball over the leftfield wall at PNC Park for a three run homer in Colorado’s 6-2 win over the Pirates. The baseball shot off Story’s bat at 111.6 mph.

Sunday, at Nationals Park in Washington, the Rockies shortstop struck out four times in four at-bats.

Story entered Tuesday night’s game against the Pirates batting .200, with a 40 percent strikeout rate (26 whiffs in 60 at-bats), but with four home runs. He has mirrored the Rockies’ offense in the early part of the season: Lots of

power, lack of consistency and hints of what could be.

But perhaps Colorado’s offense is beginning to heat up throughout the order.

Tuesday night, with gametime temperatures in the low 30s, Colorado took a 2-0 lead when Story hit a fourth-inning double to left, advancing Ian Desmond to third. Desmond scored on rookie Ryan McMahon’s single, just the third hit and second RBI of the season for McMahon. It was the type of chain-link team offense Colorado has been searching for this spring.

Colorado’s first run came in the first inning on one-out walk by Gerardo Parra, a single

by Charlie Blackmon and an RBI groundout by Carlos Gonzalez. The Rockies won the game 2-0.

“It’s been a little bit lighter than what we expect, for sure,” manager Bud Black said when asked to assess his club’s offense. “I think that will turn.

The home run has saved us a little bit, for sure.

“I don’t see ourselves as a big power team. We have power, I think we have balance and I do think that eventually we will get to that batting line of power, average and much better on-base (percentage).”

But that balance has thus far eluded the Rockies, even though they’d won five of six games entering Tuesday, in large part because of strong pitching (2.72 ERA over the six-game stretch), solid defense and timely hits.

Colorado entered Tuesday’s game with 26 home runs, the most in the National

League. Impressively, 19 of those homers have come away from Coors Field.

Conversely, the Rockies’ .218 team batting average ranked last in the NL, as did their .286 on-base percentage.

Their .223 average with runners in scoring position ranked 12th and their 168 strikeouts were the second most in the NL. “Right now, it’s not happening, but the power is showing up, and it’s helped us win games,” Black said. “Power is a good thing, but truly, onbase is paramount to score runs. We have to do a better job of that. I think we will get there.”

Story’s early-season slump was getting deep before he broke out Monday night.

He batted 1-for-15 with 10

strikeouts at Washington, yet Colorado took three of four from the Nationals. After his home run Monday night, Story added a single for just his second multihit game of the season, hiking his average from .177 to .200.

Patience, persistence and practice is Story’s mantra.

“There are a lot of hidden things that go into hitting but, for me, it’s just trying to keep consistent, especially in my cage work, my pregame work,” Story said. “You’re going to have ups and downs in this game, and you’ve got to be able to handle them.”

If Saquon Barkley is available at No.5, Denver Broncos must draft him

By Woody Paige The Gazette

If Saquon Barkley remains available at the fifth pick, the Broncos must eschew the quarterbacks and choose The Running Back.

In 12 days, draft No. 8 will be the most vital for Ol’ No. 7 since his first. The Broncos possess their highest pick since 2011 when John Elway made his wisest selection ever – Von Miller.

Fifty-one years ago, in the inaugural combined AFL-NFL draft, the Broncos chose a running back in the sixth spot.

Floyd Little is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Elway didn’t win a Super Bowl until he was accompanied by another incoming Hall of Fame running back – Terrell Davis (drafted in the sixth round).

The Broncos should say yes to “Say Say” Saquon. He is the best player in the wacky

quarterbacky draft.

At Penn State, Barkley compiled 5,088 yards rushing, receiving and returning, and scored 53 times. More than half his carries were for 15 yards-plus.

He is the epitome of the threedown, touchdown back.

At the NFL Combine Barkley dominated, doing the 10-yard split in 1.54, the 40-yard dash in 4.4, a vertical jump of 41 inches and 29 reps in the bench press.

Those numbers were superior to exceptional NFL offensive linemen, wide receivers, running backs and punt returners.

The Broncos president of football operations, his consigliere Gary Kubiak and coach Vance Joseph always maintain they want to run the football, and score the football.

Here’s Your Man. A veteran NFL scout told me Friday: “All you have to know is he’s better than Ezekiel Elliott, and he doesn’t come with luggage. He should be No. 1 overall.” Elliott was drafted

fourth in 2016. At the combine he ran 1.58, 4.47, had a vertical of 32.5 and did not participate in the bench press. Zeke is a 6-footer weighing 225 pounds.

Quon is 6-foot, 234 pounds.

Elliott rushed for 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns as a rookie, then was suspended for six games last season.

Everyone in Denver seems to have an opinion about which quarterback the Broncos should take -- Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen or Sam Darnold.

There’s a very reasonable possibility all four will go before the Broncos pick.

The decision should be a snap for Elway et al.

From QB to Q2: Guard Quenton Nelson or Saquon Barkley? Nelson probably will become a Pro Bowler someday, but Barkley probably will be Rookie of the Year and a Pro Bowler in 2018.

Suddenly, with Barkley and Case Keenum, the Broncos aren’t

rebuilding. They’re retaking the AFC West and a postseason position.

Those four quarterbacks won’t even get on the field for a year or two, or three. How much has Paxton Lynch helped the Broncos in his first two seasons?

Zero. Did Garret Bolles get the Broncos into the playoffs last season? Would Nelson or Bradley Chubb turn the Broncos into a franchise that can beat out the Patriots, the Steelers or even the Chargers? No. Which would you rather have – C.J. Anderson’s past or Barkley’s potential? Anderson would be owed a $4.5 million salary, and the fifth pick likely will receive $28 million over five years. C.J., bless him, could be traded after the Barkley pick for a middle-round choice.

The Broncos are in love with Devontae Booker, but he has produced 911 yards (3.6 average) in 29 games, and rookie De’Angelo Henderson rushed for 15 yards, and caught one

sparkling pass in the final game for 29 yards and a touchdown.

They are a fine pair of backups.

How intrigued are the Broncos, and especially Elway and Kubiak – Joseph is a bystander – with Barkley? Dove Valley isn’t echoing with hints or whispers. The Broncos haven’t invited Barkley for a visit, but he did disclose that they interviewed him at the combine. The Broncos obviously know that Barkley has been strong academically at Penn State, comes from a solid family background and is a journalism major. He could write this column.

Yet, the Broncos have been showing more interest in a half dozen other running backs who won’t be selected in the first round or possibly the entire draft. Wrong.

A problem does exist: Barkley could go in the first four.

But Saquon should be Plan A. Plan B: Trade the pick.

CSU finishes third in MW Championship

By Mack Beaulieu @macknz_james

The Colorado State women’s golf team matched its best finish of the season this week as it finished third in the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Katrina Prendergast and Ellen Secor finished third and fourth, respectively, and the rest of the team did their part for the Rams to finish in third place, their best finish since 2010.

Secor was high on the leaderboard for most of the weekend, while Prendergast continued a climb up the leaderboard starting in round two. Meanwhile, Jessica Sloot and Brooke Nolte had their best rounds on the final day.

“What was huge for us this week’s success was the back three,” Coach Annie Young said.” With Jessica Sloot, Haley Greb and Brooke Nolte stepping up, it helped us get the score that we needed. They struggled from time-to-time this season, but they came ready to play this week and it was huge.”

Secor led the team on day one of the tournament with a 2-over 74 as the team started off pretty slow. Greb was in second for the Rams after the round, contributing her best round of the tournament. Prendergast posted her worst score of the tournament with a 5-over 77 and the Rams were in eighth place, but it was all up from there.

Prendergast started to come for the leaders in the second round as she dropped her score by seven and moved up from 29th to 11th over the course of the day. Secor dropped her score as well with a 1-under 71 and through two rounds she found

herself tied for third. Sloot and Nolte improved their scores by three and six, respectively, to get themselves to 5-over 77s and the Rams moved into fifth overall.

“Today was a big day for Katrina,” Young said. “She is trying to make regionals, so that is always in the back of your mind. But she stepped up and that didn’t surprise me one bit.

She just went out there and just competed at the highest level.”

The next day saw Prendergast put up the best single-round score of the tournament as she scored a 3-under 69 and moved into third. Secor stayed consistent and had a third round at par and finished just one spot behind her Rams’ teammate.

Nolte and Greb also came up big for the team in the final round. Nolte had her tournament-best 4-over 76 and Greb improved five strokes from the day before when she shot her worst round of 10-over 82.

For a team that was in eighth after round one, the Rams worked their way to a thirdplace finish.

“I am just proud of how they fought all season long,” Young said. “There were times out there that weren’t very good and there were times were played well and competed. This week was a great way to end the season and I feel like we belong and can compete with the best.”

The season is likely done for most of the Rams, but Prendergast and Secor could receive calls as individuals to compete in the NCAA Championship’s regional round.

Stigma around cannabis only hurts the athletes Luke Zahlmann @lukezahlmann

Once posed as a gateway drug to serious substance abuse, the legalization of cannabis in various states across the nation has shown a change in thinking, one that needs to make its way to athletics.

Athletes are given a choice many times between addictive painkillers or no treatment at all.

Rather than forcing athletes to risk being hooked on painkillers that can slowly disintegrate lives, an alternative for them should be cannabis, a more natural remedy.

According to a study by the American Society of Addiction Medicine, drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States with over 50,000 in 2015 alone. The number driving the total is the 20,000 cases of prescription painkiller overdoses attributed to opioid use.

Though the statistics are recent, the figures have only grown with the increase in prescriptions given for prescription painkillers, a drug that is severely over-prescribed already.

The number of overdoses from cannabis, a drug that is frowned upon by many and said to have a negative effect on athletes, is zero.

In their report of the facts about the drug, the Drug Enforcement Agency reported that there has not been a single overdose reported in the criminal history of the drug, despite belief that it can be lethally negative to users by those against the substance.

The main method of healing athletes is the one that has caused the worst side effect in existence in many, yet the stigma around the plant still exists.

In the United States, federallyfunded universities are unable to legalize the drug for its athletes due to its federal classification.

States have been given the right to legalize their drug as they see fit, and the nation has spoken loudly for its legalization in all 50.

The only universities that can currently allow their athletes to legally partake in the substance are privately-owned establishments in states that have legalized the drug. The university is not allowed to take a single cent from federal funding in order for the circumstance to be in effect.

Without all stipulations being met, no university is able to allow their athletes the freedom to go outside of the pharmaceutical world to heal their ailments.

A popular case in Colorado State University history was that of former football player Treyous Jarrells. Though illegal, Jarrells played most of his snaps for the Rams under the influence of

cannabis in order to counter his pain that was a direct result of the sport.

“I practiced under the influence. I played games under the influence. This is my medicine,” Jarrells told the Coloradoan in September 2016.

“I’ve seen players at CSU pop five, 10 ibuprofens before practice.

Daily. You think that’s good? Over the course of two, three years, that’s eating your liver away.”

The act of taking extensive painkilling medicine to cure ailments can pose long-term threats such as the liver damage alluded to by Jarrells. The addiction can also raise the risk of heart attack over time. Both side effects are made worse by the addictive nature of opioid use and abuse of the substance in order to feel complete relief.

At the collegiate level, only championship events result in tests for the substance. The lack of testing results in players using the drug anyway, leaving themselves vulnerable when the highest level of competition, the championships, come to the forefront. A complete dismissal of non-performance enhancing drug tests is necessary to adapt to a world that has built a reliance on substances with deathly tolls.

Many athletes pose similar problems with pain associated to their sport. The only remedies that should be offered for these

athletes are ones that serve as nonaddiction elixirs for the ailment.

At the pro level, drug tests are administered randomly in some, or regularly in others, to subdue the use of cannabis as a pain reliever. The fines and suspensions associated with drug use are used as a way to dissuade the act without taking legal action.

In order for the nation to change its view on drugs in athletics, the four major sports leagues in America - National Hockey League, National Football League, Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association - need to change their stance first. The leagues have yet to completely allow use despite several past players in each league speaking out in support of the use of the drug to fight pain caused by

the sport.

By making the use of cannabis legal within their sports, the professional leagues can convince the laws federally to change as well.

The argument that players will lack in performance reigns mute as well. With poor performance, players are let go or exiled to the bench without the use of drugs, so the same infractions can still serve a similar purpose. If players are seeing their performance affected, their playing time will be as well.

The product on the field will stay the same, while the aches and pains that athletes face off the field, when fans are no longer concerned, will subside.

CBD: Weed is more than getting high

By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

THC shouldn’t be getting all the attention this 4/20 when CBD is out here, too.

Cannabidiol, abbreviated to CBD, is one of many cannabinoids found in cannabis.

However, CBD does not have the psychoactive element that gives the “high” effect most of us associate with cannabis.

CBD’s main appeal is its medical benefits.

According to Project CBD, CBD can help with inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms and more. According to Hemp Health Inc., CBD is the most prominent component in cannabis, taking up about 40 percent of the plant.

“In my personal experience, CBD has been most

affective in helping with my anxiety and my pain,” wrote Madi Sword, a senior majoring in journalism and CBD user, in an email to The Collegian.

Its effects all happen at a molecular level and the exact way it works is still being studied by science and a lot of unknowns still remain when it comes to CBD.

INFINITE WELLNESS ■ Located at 900 N. College Ave.

“People haven’t been able to do the kind of systematic research that you would like,” said chemistry professor Dr. Anthony Rappe. “A lot of these things are kind of anecdotal as opposed to scientifically based. It’s not as

studied as say the opioids.”

The molecule anandamide naturally occurs in our bodies.

Anandamide is nicknamed the “bliss molecule” because it makes us feel a heightened sense of happiness. This is what CBD, as well as THC, binds to in our bodies. CBD interacts with various channels in our bodies to provide the effect it has.

Enhancing the effects of these channels, namely anandamide, provides this blissful and therapeutic feeling, Rappe said.

“We know about endorphins and, if you will, people know how to enhance their production of endorphins,” Rappe said. “I don’t know if anyone has a clue how to increase their concentration on anandamides. There may be ways, as crazy as, like, yoga.

There may well be things that we do that cause an increase in production of this. We don’t

know, but it’s there, we know it’s a pain relief. It obviously serves a useful purpose, there’s just a lot we don’t know about it.”

Calling cannabis “recreational” could be incorrect.

“The term ‘recreation’ is a misnomer,” said Max Poling, the marketing manager for Infinite Wellness Center. “It should be ‘adult-use’ because you need to treat a condition of some use doesn’t mean it requires medical marijuana. Specifically, the biggest difference between medical marijuana and recreational marijuana, or adult-use marijuana, is simply the exine tax that we pay on it to the state and the purchase tax the customer pays on it directly to the state, so past those restrictions the only real differences you’re gonna see is potency on edibles and purchase

amounts being different for people who qualify for an instate Colorado medical card.”

For those who are reading this and thinking they know how it is going to affect their bodies, keep in mind that that may not be the case.

“Everybody’s different, every person’s cannabinoid system is different and so everyone will have different reactions or effects to it,” Poling said.

And the way you take it is going to be different, too.

CBD can be purchased at dispensaries and some smoke shops if you are 21 or older. You can also buy CBD to use in a tobacco vaporizer.

Lamar won a Pulitzer Prize. Here are five songs that show why

By Mikael Wood Los Angeles Times

Much of the reaction to Monday’s announcement that the Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar had won a Pulitzer Prize for music with his album “Damn” amounted to something like: Finally.

A steadily strengthening force since its birth in the 1970s, aspects of hip-hop have unquestionably dominated pop culture for years now – look at “Black Panther,” look at “Atlanta,” look at Beyonce last weekend at Coachella – which makes this recognition of one of its prime movers feel overdue at best.

Yet by selecting the 30-year-old Lamar, it’s not as though the Pulitzer committee was merely throwing an award to any prime mover it picked out of a hat.

Indeed, the backlash already seen online from some in the classical-music world – composers who believe that a famous rapper isn’t the one in need of more attention – suggests the jurors might have saved themselves the grief if they’d felt they could avoid it. (Perhaps they consulted the Nobel Prize people for reassurance after the latter were criticized by novelists and poets for giving Bob Dylan the prize for literature in 2016.)

Clearly, though,

the Pulitzer committee encountered a musician in Lamar whose work demands honor in the particular. Here are five of his songs, from “Damn” and elsewhere, that demonstrate what the jurors heard, along with a word of warning that the majority of videos that are linked contain profanity.

“DNA” In singling out Lamar’s album, the Pulitzer organization praised “Damn” for its “affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life,” and nowhere is that complexity more palpable than in this cut about “the power, poison, pain and joy inside my DNA.” One of Lamar’s signatures on “Damn” is jumping among different perspectives, but here he inhabits each with so much detail, from the 9-year-old living in a motel to the budding superstar “sipping from a Grammy,” that you understand the words not as role-play (though he can do that too) but as lived experience.

“Humble” Of course, words are only one component of Lamar’s music.

The committee also drew attention to the “rhythmic dynamism” of “Damn,” which might be best exemplified by this funky yet hard-knocking single that hit No. 1 on Billboard’s

Hot 100. On tour last year, Lamar sometimes presented “Humble” as an a cappella rapalong moment for his fans, who seemed to recite every word in perfect time _ proof of a beat so strong that you can hear it even when it’s not playing.

“Love” Lamar on “Damn” isn’t always taking a wide view. For this disarming love song, the rapper zooms in on the dayto-day reality of a committed relationship with an intimacy that can be startling: “Bad attitude from your nanny / Curves and your hips from your mammy,” he raps, his tone as tender and playful as it is take-no-guff in “Humble.”

“These Walls” Lamar’s Pulitzer isn’t a lifetime-achievement award; it’s tied specifically to “Damn.”

Yet prizes like this always signal the consideration of an artist’s entire body of work, and for Lamar it seems likely that the jurors were impressed by his use of jazz textures and players – familiar terrain for the Pulitzers – in songs like this one from 2015’s “To Pimp a Butterfly” album. Don’t miss the gorgeous electric-piano excursion about five minutes in.

“Swimming Pools (Drank)” One of several breakout tracks from Lamar’s 2012 major-label debut, “good kid, m.A.A.d city,” this woozy slow jam finds the rapper

Kendrick Lamar, on stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., on April 23, 2017, grippingly shrinks a vast, roiling world down to the psychic space between two people in “Love,” a song from the Compton rapper’s album, “Damn.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF BRIAN VAN DER BRUG LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNS

contemplating the risks of alcoholism for a young man who “grew up ‘round some people living their life in bottles.” What distinguishes the song, beyond the way it makes unsteadiness into a

kind of musical device, is how clear-eyed Lamar can be about someone’s failings even as he rejects the temptation to ridicule.

The proper technique to hit a bong

By Jonny Rhein @jonnyrhein

So you’ve never hit a bong before.

That’s totally fine. You have come to the right place. Hitting a bong can be intimidating at first: Where do I start? What’s the right amount of smoke?

Am I going to die? I will answer all of those questions in this guide.

Here is how to properly hit a bong: Finding the perfect fit.

Bongs come in all shapes and sizes. You have the zig-zag shape (or zong), bongs with an ice catcher for a nice, cool hit, hookahs, the homemade gravity bong, mini bongs called bubblers, etc. For our purposes, we will stick with the standard bong, although they all pretty much work the same way.

The five elements Water, fire, weed, bong and stem.

First, you want to fill the bong with enough water so a decent portion of the stem is submerged. If you want

to eat the bong. Now suck (I repeat, do not inhale yet.)

If the bowl cherries, water bubbles and smoke rises, you are doing something right.

Once you have the desired amount of smoke in the chamber, you are ready to inhale. Pull the stem out of the hole and inhale until the smoke has exited the bong and entered your lungs. If you feel like you cannot finish it, no worries. You can take two inhales if you want, but the second one might taste a little stale.

You’re doing great! We’re so proud of you!”

The aftermath.

Depending on how big of a hit you just took, this could be smooth or terribly rough.

Hold it in for as long as you can to get the most out of your hit. Exhale. Now, you may experience a satisfying head rush, lightheadedness, an intense coughing fit, anxiety, pacing around the room, the desire to go back in time to right before you took that stupid, huge hit or all of the above.

to get crazy, I have heard of people using a different substance other than water for a more pleasant taste, such as pineapple juice. Give it a shot; it couldn’t hurt.

The stem should conveniently fit in the hole provided on the outside of the base of the bong. You can pack it with weed before you insert it or while it’s in the bong; it doesn’t matter. Just make sure you pack the correct amount for the number of people in your circle. If you are smoking by yourself, that’s cool too. No one is judging you. You do you.

Hitting the bong Remember, you are in complete control. You have the power to determine the amount of smoke that will build up in the chamber. There is no standard limit; it is all personal preference.

The first part of this process involves no inhalation.

Once you have the bowl lit, put your entire mouth inside of the opening on the top of the bong. In other words, DO NOT put your mouth around the opening. You are not trying

There are several ways to smoke, but it is important to know how to properly utilize the smoking equipment being used.

COLLEGIAN FILE PHOTO

No matter how your experience goes, everything will be fine. No one has ever died from a marijuana overdose and chances are you

will not be the first.

Have fun, and know your limits!

A history of the word ‘marijuana’

By Maddie Wright @maddierwright

Weed. Grass. Pot. Reefer.

Dope. Ganja Dank. With an endless list of terms to describe cannabis, why do most people still use the word with racial ties?

The word “marijuana” has a grim history in the United States.

In the early 20th century, after prohibition, America was on the hunt for something new to criticize. The government went after a substance popular in Latin American cultures and took their word to help vilify it.

“At the end of the Great Depression during World War II, the political people were trying to find a population to blame and scapegoat for the troubles of the country, and that was shortly after a million Mexicans had immigrated (to the US),” said Tavon Boaman, a senior majoring in geology and music who also serves as an Inclusive Community Assistant for Residence Life.

When former U.S. president Richard Nixon came to power, so did the War on Drugs. It is often criticized to have targeted minorities, leading to high incarceration rates amongst people of color.

According to DrugPolicy. org, “nearly 80 percent of people in federal prison and almost 60 percent of people in state prison for drug offenses are Black or Latino.” Coincidingly, according to the Washington Post, Black and white people use cannabis around the same rate. So shouldn’t the arrest rate look the same?

The Assistant to the President of Domestic Affairs at the time, John Ehrlichman, said, in a 22-year-old interview for Harper’s Magazine, “We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

While studying the War on Drugs, Quentin Heuvel, a freshman at Colorado State University studying political science, learned about why the word “marijuana” was popularized.

“I came across various articles that showed the really racial ties that it had especially the term ‘marijuana’ and just the war on drugs,” Heuvel said. “In general, it was really a slander campaign against minorities in the United States to keep them out of the political sphere.”

The word “marijuana” is so embedded in American society that most people probably do not realize it is racist. Many public documents and doctors still use the term.

“We’ve seen 250,000 people being deported for drug law violations since 2007,” Heuvel said.

“In 2013, marijuana possession was the fourth most common cause of deportation. These are

just some of the easy ones I’ve found in my research. I’ve gone through the statistics, and this is stuff I’m really confident in.”

It’s true. Also according to drugpolicy.org, almost 250,000 people have been deported because of non-violent drug ofenses. That’s more than one in 10 people who were deported.

In 2013, 20,000 people were deported for possession of a drug or drug paraphanelia.

If you’re reading this with your Mr. Mackey from South Park goggles on, saying to yourself, “It doesn’t matter what you call it, drugs are bad, and I want nothing to do with people who use them,” Heuval suggests to not hate the player, hate the game.

“We need to make sure (that) we as a nation are really trying to get people the help they need if they want it, but we shouldn’t be criminalizing people for what they’re doing with their own bodies because it’s entirely their choice,” Heuval said. “Obviously, you’re going to have problems with driving and stuff, but you just legislate that the same way you do drinking and DUIs.” Here’s the good news: There are about 1,000 other words to describe cannabis. You just have to get the M-word out of your vocabulary.

“I would like to see more people becoming educated about it and then deciding for themselves not to use it,” Boaman said.

5 terms to make you look like a pot professional

By Evan Vicchy @evanNOTkevin7

When smoking the ganja, there may be some words thrown around by your stoner friends that might not make sense. In honor of 4/20, here is a list of five valuable terms to understand what’s going on in those hazy situations: DAB (it’s not a dance) The only thing dancing when smoking weed is the synapses in your brain. It’s important to know what a dab is because it’s not your average kind of smoking.

Kat Rae, curator of the successful marijuana themed Instagram account dabba_ the_hutt, Rae said dabbing is vaporizing cannabis concentrates.

“It’s more potent than normal cannabis buds and dabbing can be done in various ways,” Rae said. “The most common method is smoking the concentrates out of a vape pen or a rig which requires heat to vaporize the concentrates. In contrast to smoking normal cannabis flower, dabs have a higher THC content which means you’ll feel the effects faster and they will feel a lot stronger.”

BOWL (it’s not for cereal)

The term “bowl” is essential to the smoking of marijuana.

Without it, there would be nowhere to ignite the weed. A bowl is a feature on a pipe, bong or any smoking device that contains the weed. You’ll often hear people say, “Let’s load a bowl,” which basically means, “Let’s stuff weed into this hole so we can light it on fire.” Once the weed is packed down into the bowl, it is ready to be lit and enjoyed by all.

CARB (it’s not in bread) Even though you might be eating carbs after smoking weed, it’s important to know how to use a pipe to get high. On a pipe, there is usually a little glass bubble with a hole in it near the bowl. This is called a carb.

“A carb on a pipe is a tiny hole that the smoker covers and uncovers to control the air flow,” senior journalism student Madi Sword said. “When the carb is covered, more concentrated smoke will be inhaled. When the carb is uncovered, it allows more air to enter the pipe and is often used to clear the pipe of the remaining smoke in the chamber into the smoker’s lungs”.

CHERRY (it’s not the fruit) The term “cherry” is another word in the pot jargon dictionary worth

Many terms and phrases used by avid weed smokers might mean one thing to them but to non-smokers, might mean something entirely different. PHOTO BY MATT TACKETT COLLEGIAN

knowing. When someone says, “it’s cherried,” this means that the marijuana in the bowl is smoldering. This term gets its name from the bright red color the marijuana makes when it’s in this state. This means that the longer you wait to take the next puff, the more weed is being burned away. So, it’s important for the pot smoker to inhale the

cherried bowl quickly to keep it smoldering so that passing the smoking device will go faster.

ROACH: (it’s not a bug) This is one bug you won’t want to get rid of.

“A roach refers to the unsmoked weed at the end of an extinguished joint or blunt when the heat of the weed comes too close to the filter,” Front Range

Community College student Elyssa Hamilton said. “When you put out the joint or blunt, it is still smokable, but the weed in it is denser, sticky and covered in tar.

It’s probably not the best thing to consume, but it comes in handy when you don’t have any more weed left.”

Dispensary >> from page 1 Medical cannabis first went on sale in Colorado in 2001, and buying options were limited.

Today, THC and CBD are available in more ways you can imagine, reaching a growing audience.

Head budtender Raelynn Perisho started at Choice Organics in 2014 and has seen many changes in laws and available products. For example, the limits on the amount that can be purchased have changed, from a quarter to an ounce of product, which some out-of-staters are unaware of, she said.

“I think a change in preference is bound to happen with any industry, especially with so many options,” Perisho said.

“It’s crazy to see the people, who four years ago didn’t know the difference between Sativa and Indica, are now paying attention to the terpenes and solvents used in products.”

In addition to rapidly changing preferences for customers, the cannabis industry has given women a new place to lead. Marketing manager Kylie Holub said the majority of employees at Choice Organics are female.

“A lot of our ladies are high ranking here, so we have a lot of great leaders,” Holub said.

“There’s an organization called Women Grow (in Denver) that encourages women to be leaders in the industry and we are starting to see more of that.”

Employees feel that cannabis has certainly been more accepted because of this dispensary’s ability to be proactive and not reactive in situations.

“We want to go about it formerly,” Wilson said. “We are the ones to encourage people to research products or recycle their containers. Buying cannabis isn’t about coffee tables and sandwich bags anymore.”

CSU students share their worst weed experiences

By Miranda Moses @mirandasrad

Editor’s Note: The students quoted in this article are anonymous due to the illegality of the actions they describe.

Smoking weed is not always euphoric as intended.

Like with any drugs, bad trips happen. You can get too high, or your high can get interrupted by some unforeseen not-very-ideal circumstances. Regardless, here are a few students who shared their worst experiences with the recreational drug. So the next time you feel like you’re dying of cotton mouth and you can’t move or else the walls will inevitably cave in on you, you will know you are not alone.

The student who underestimated the edible A communications major from CSU went home to California over a break and decided to purchase a special kind of brownie. According to the student, she accidentally ate way too much of the edible delight.

The product itself packed more of a punch than expected, causing her trip to the California fast food munchie favorite, In-N-Out, to be exceedingly difficult.

“I was sitting in In-N-Out, and all my hands and toes and everything started to melt,” said the student. “Someone had to carry me out of In-N-Out. That was pretty hectic. But I slept it off, and we are all good now. I did not

smoke for a minute after that.”

Unfortunately, according to the student, she did not even get to eat the In-N-Out fries she ordered because she could not get the snack into her mouth, due to the hand melting.

“The whole thing was sus,” the California student said.

The student who dabbed and ate a grilled cheese One day, a human development and family studies major decided to take the tiniest dab with an experienced friend who generously offered it to them. According to the student, they were feeling confident that they could handle the dab due to their previous multitudes of experiences smoking, but two minutes later, everything changed.

“I was sitting on her bed, and I was like, ‘Oh no...oh no, what’s happening,” said the student. “I stand up, and at that point, I was almost convinced I was sinking into the ground. My feet were getting stuck while I was walking.

It literally felt like it took me 45 minutes to get up some stairs when it literally took me five.”

The student’s friend proceeded to make the two Velveeta grilled cheeses, which the students claims is the best thing they have eaten in their whole life, while the student sat on the floor and heard colors and saw sounds.

“I reached a level of high I had never reached before,” said the student. “I literally was like, ‘I don’t know where I am. I don’t

know what time it is.’”

They also had a lot of trouble eating their grilled cheese sandwiches with altered motor functions, and the student had to text their partner to come pick them up.

“I was like, ‘I need you to come get me, 9-1-1 emergency, I can’t move,’” said the student. “And that was my one and only experience with dabs.”

The student who smoked out of an apple on a hill with Chris In high school, a now ethnic studies student at CSU decided to meet up with a dude on a hill at a park in the middle of the night to hang out and smoke some weed. The student did not really know the guy, and although she was the inexperienced smoker in the situation, he was the one who came ill prepared without at mechanism to smoke out of. But thankfully, he did acquire an apple, so she watched as he (very classily) carved it out.

“So there we are, at the top of this hill, trying to smoke weed out of this apple,” said the student.

“And all of sudden, my mom shows

up.”

It turns out that while the two high schoolers were trekking up the hill in the middle of the night to smoke their ganja out of a fruit, the student’s mom had been tracking her daughter’s phone the whole time.

“She looks at this dude and she’s like, ‘Who do you think you are,’” the student said. “And he goes, ‘I’m Chris.’”

While wearing pajamas, the student’s mom instructed the boy to, “Get the fuck off this hill,” and the boy obliged by running away into the darkness. High and caught by her mom, the student immediately started crying and feeling the confused anxiety illness that comes with being stressed while stoned. Her mother took her home after having a conversation about the incident. She also told her to roll down the window if she was going to throw up.

“She is a great mom,” said the student. “I respected her for it. She told this story to a bunch of people the other night.”

FORT COLLINS LIFE

Best places to buy cannabis in Fort Collins

By Carson Lipe @carsonlipe

Doing pot is cool.

But choosing a dispensary to buy from can be daunting if you don’t have a lot of experience.

There are several factors that determine the quality of a dispensary and with all the different marketing schemes, it can be hard to tell if you’re getting ripped off.

Thankfully, this guide will aid in the decision-making process by offering suggestions on where to buy your cannabis flower based on a few important criteria.

Price The price of your bud depends largely on the amount you are purchasing. Natural Alternatives, located on North College Avenue, can get you out the door with a gram of flower for $10 after tax.

When it comes to full-sized, toptier bud, NA can’t be beat at gram pricing in Fort Collins.

For larger amounts, Infinite

Wellness Center, also located on North College, has one of the best pricing systems around. Because IWC grows their own product, they price it based on amount availability. Surplus, or recently yielded bud, is priced at the cheapest or tier three level, while less-abundant cannabis is sold for a premium. Because all of their strains are on tier rotation, you can walk out with an ounce of your favorite strain for $150 plus tax.

Customer Experience Friendly budtenders who divulge their knowledge and encourage questions are perfect for someone who is unsure of what they want to buy. For those who know exactly what they want, a talkative budtender can dampen a dispensary experience by adding to purchasing time. For customers who want to get in and get out, Vert’s dispensary in the Campus West neighborhood will see to that. They have a decent number of budtenders, their purchasing process is painless and the lines

are almost always short.

All of the dispensaries in Fort Collins have a seemingly knowledgeable staff, but the dispensaries with a price premium like Organic Alternatives will be more open to answer your questions knowing that customers could be getting their bud for a cheaper price. Dispensaries like IWC and The Green Solution offer online ordering with a pickup area separate from the original line. This can be particularly useful if you are trying to beat the crowd on a Friday afternoon.

Selection Most Colorado flower is going to get you really high, so you can disregard the tiered quality systems in dispensaries.

Quality bud can be found at any dispensary in FoCo, but amount and strain selection vary greatly from one dispensary to the next. Because IWC grows their own bud, their menu tends to stay pretty consistent in terms of strains. This can actually be a

good thing if you’re someone who enjoys indulging in the same strain time and time again.

When I first experienced legal weed, I wanted to see the differences between all of the strains and figure out which strains paired best with certain activities. For this purpose, I recommend the Leafly app, which can be downloaded on Android or iPhone. The app lets users peruse the menu of any dispensary in the country as long as that dispensary uses the app (most of them do).

The app breaks down prices and reveals the various deals on tap at the dispensary.

Knowing which products you are looking for can make choosing a dispensary easy, but if you have no idea what you want, that also has its advantages. When in doubt, use the Leafly app for questions and no matter what, at least you’re not buying from a dealer.

COLLEGE

A smoker’s guide to different kinds of highs

By Nick Botkin @dudesosad

All cannabis is not created equal, nor does every type of cannabis generate the same kind of high.

According to Maka Kalai, director of sales and marketing at Organic Alternatives in Fort Collins, there are thousands of strains of cannabis in existence.

Organic Alternatives offers between 30 to 48 different strains, including sativa, indica, hybrid and CBD strains, which are beneficial for various purposes, Kalai said.

CBD, or cannabidiol, strains are the most “medicinal,” Kalai said.

So what particular strains are well suited to your daily activities?

Here are a few options.

Studying If you need to do your history homework and want a little higher knowledge, sativas might be your answer.

Sativa-dominant strains in particular are good for studying and create a “head high,” Kalai said.

“There is just more of a focus,” Kalai said.

JOIN

Hopefully, the periodic tables and the Russian Revolution will come into focus too.

Kalai said such strains such as Blue Dream are beneficial. On the cannabidiol side, AC/DC is also conducive to study mode, Kalai said.

Creativity If you are creatively oriented, sativas are also beneficial.

“Sativa-dominant strains and sativas are good high energy (strains),” Kalai said.

Toke up, future Beethovens and artistic masters. Tell Tchaikovsky to bring the rolling papers.

Kalai said some sativa strains offered include Blue Dream, Golden Goat, New York City Diesel and Flo. Relaxation If you just need some relaxation, the most beneficial strains tend to be indicas, Kalai said.

“It is more of a body high relaxing, just more of a mellow high,” Kalai said.

Indicas have even been nicknamed “indacouch” and are great for sleeping as well as for pain relief, Kalai said.

Suffice it to say, the sandman might look a little different after some late-night indica toking.

Some indica strains include Blackberry Kush, Grape OG and Girl Scout Cookies.

Strains aside, what are the downsides of toking up?

“Sometimes on sativas they can be a little racy,” Kalai said.

Kalai noted that some people using sativas may experience bouts of anxiety or paranoia.

Indica-dominant hybrids can be a good alternative, Kalai said.

Kalai also said that given the inherent health risks of smoking, edibles are a good alternative.

What about pricing?

Prices can vary. With recreational cannabis at Organic Alternatives, prices can range from one gram for $10 to one ounce for $225. Organic Alternatives will also be offering the best 4/20 specials in town, according to Kalai. Of course, one must be 21 and have a valid form of identification, such as a Colorado driver’s license.
