DEA to Reclassify Marijuana: Official Confirms Looming Marijuana Decision

In a recent interview with aNewDomain, DEA staff coordinator Russ Baer confirmed reports that the DEA is considering reclassifying marijuana off the Schedule 1 list of controlled substances, and indicated that the enforcement of marijuana policy is not a top priority for the federal agency. Although stopping short of offering any specific details about how exactly marijuana might be reclassified, Baer did confirm the genuineness of a recently leaked letter from the DEA to the senate that stated the agency was hoping to reach a decision on whether or not to reclassify marijuana by mid-year. Baer downplayed the mid-year estimate though, stating, “We aren't holding ourselves to any artificial timeframe.”

While an official decision is still yet to be announced, speculation is strong that the DEA will indeed reclassify marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 2 drug sometime this summer. Recently, an anonymous attorney for the DEA was reported by the Santa Monica Observer as stating that the DEA would soon reclassify marijuana to the schedule 2 list, sending marijuana industries and cannabis communities into watch and wait mode. The DEA's decision to reclassify marijuana to schedule 2 could have a significant impact on both the recreational marijuana and medical marijuana industries, and feelings are mixed as potential effects and consequences are still unclear.

Reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 2 drug makes medical marijuana legal at the federal level. This means that residents of any state could obtain a medical prescription for marijuana and be able to legally use it without fear of criminal charges, neither at the state nor federal level. “We’re not going to go chase after the mom who picks up cannabinol (CBD) in (one) state for her epileptic child and takes it to another state … ,” Baer stated.   

A reclassification to Schedule 2 would also remove many of the current legal obstacles to cannabis research, which could in turn help pave the way for new medical advances and discoveries. Baer explained, “We want there to be research on marijuana and its component parts, there needs to be (more) studies about both the benefits and the adverse effects about marijuana... We want to remove the roadblocks for (cannabis research.)”

While some marijuana activists that have been pushing for medical legalization at a federal level see a DEA decision to reclassify marijuana to Schedule 2 as a step in the right direction, others feel it doesn't go far enough and in fact could greatly inhibit the progress that's been made towards achieving full-scale marijuana legalization for recreational as well as medical purposes. The DEA divides controlled substances into five categories, or Schedules, based on accepted medical benefits and abuse potential. Drugs on the Schedule 1 list, where marijuana currently resides, are considered the most dangerous, with the highest potential for abuse and health risks, and no known medical benefits. Schedule 2 drugs are acknowledged as having some medical benefit, but they are still considered dangerous with high abuse and health risk potentials. The Controlled Substance Act is worded in a way that specifies Schedule 2 drugs can't be dispensed without a prescription, so a reclassification of marijuana to Schedule 2 could potentially destroy the recreational marijuana industry as we know it. It all depends on the specifics of how the drug is classified and how regulations are applied. As an official announcement on reclassifying marijuana is awaited, all eyes are on the DEA and many fingers are crossed that the details of the decision will allow for states to make their own choices regarding recreational marijuana.

Concentrate Trends for 2016

Concentrate trends for 2016 indicate growth, growth, and more growth. According to a recent report published in Marijuana Business Daily, concentrates brought in a whopping 60.5 million in retail sales in the first quarter of 2016, representing a 125% increase over retail sales in the first quarter of 2015 just a short year ago. The market for flower, meanwhile, experienced only an 11% growth, which shows a consumer trend towards favoring concentrates over the more traditional flower. The data was compiled and analyzed by BDS Analytics, which gathered point-of-sale information from marijuana retailers throughout Colorado. BDS Analytics director of analytics Tom Jones expressed a belief that concentrates will continue to take up an increasingly large share of the overall marijuana market, stating, “The share of flower in dollars has dropped from 71% (of total sales) last year to 58% this year...That’s a big change, and we absolutely expect that flower will diminish to a minority share.”

Where to smoke in Denver

You’re probably in the Denver area and are searching Google for “Places to smoke near me.” Well, you came to the right place. 

While marijuana possession is legal in Colorado, public consumption remains illegal, with violators risking tickets, fines, and having their weed confiscated. The good news is there are indeed places to smoke weed in Denver, if you know where to go, and/or you know how to be discreet and polite. Basically, the word on the street is that if there's no one around to see you, you should be relatively safe. 

While you probably don't want to risk toking up a joint in the middle of a busy city street, if you find a secluded space, a little dark corner somewhere or a hidden alcove amid some trees, or even an empty sidewalk to stroll along, as long as you're discreet and keep an eye out, you should have little to worry about. 

Discreet Marijuana Products

First off, let’s talk about a few portable pot products that you can use, that are best for outdoor areas. You don’t want to be carrying a bong around with you, nor do you want to be holding a bulky weed grinder. Here are some better options:

Pre Rolls

Pre-rolled joints, which can be purchased at any recreational marijuana dispensary are a nice choice for travelers to Denver due to their unbeatable convenience, portability, and cigarette-like appearance. 

Edibles

Edibles are virtually undetectable and can be consumed anywhere without drawing any attention. After all, you’re just eating, right? This is probably the best way to enjoy your cannabis while being outdoors.

One-hitters

Lastly, you can use something like a one-hitter or a dugout. Neither of these options draws a lot of attention as they’re easy to put away, so even if someone does smell the smoke, they’re not sure where it’s coming from.  

Places to Smoke in Denver

While we don’t condone it, we understand that you don’t always want to be enjoying your cannabis within four walls. You’re probably like so many others in Denver, Colorado – you like to enjoy the outdoors. So there are some places to enjoy the fresh air while also enjoying some fresh bud. 

Avoid Parks

Most parks around the Denver area attract a lot of people, a lot of homeless, and, consequently, a lot of harder drugs. Parks are a little too public and crowded to enjoy your cannabis and there really are so many other better places to smoke than in a park. You’re either going to attract a lot of unwanted attention in these areas or you’re going to annoy those who don’t partake, so don’t be “that guy.” 

Cannabis Tours

There are a few cannabis-specific tours that you can legally enjoy your weed while also seeing the sights that Denver has to offer. A lot of these tours are BYOC (bring your own cannabis), so check out a recreational dispensary before going on one of these tours.

• City Sessions - This place offers a variety of tours, but you can expect to see Red Rocks, a few different neighborhoods, a grow facility, and a few other things. They offer private tours, so book ahead.

• Loopr - Ride Loopr tour buses around town and experience Denver on a higher level. All sorts of tours and events are available.

• Colorado Cannabis Tours - From classes, to karaoke, cooking and city tours, they offer it all. They even offer transportation to and from the airport!

Open Places to Smoke in Denver 

While it’s still illegal in these open areas, these places to smoke are a little more 420-friendly as you’re likely to see others doing the same or not see anyone at all. Here are the best places to smoke near the Denver area, without anyone raising an eyebrow.

• Disc golf courses - Yes, disc golf is a great outdoor sport and if you’re not any good, it’s a great excuse to smoke out in public without drawing a lot of attention.

• Red Rocks Amphitheatre - While they definitely come out and say you shouldn’t partake in any marijuana smoking, sometimes the safest places are amongst the masses. Just be discreet and blow your smoke downwards because there is security that goes around to watch for smoke clouds.

• Lakes - There are a few lakes in the Denver area that provide a lot of shade and trees, as well as open space. There are likely to be other people, but chances are that you will have enough space between you and them to partake.

“Baking” Around Bars

While it's technically illegal, many bars downtown do seem to tolerate smoking on their outdoor patios, as long as patrons are discreet. The bars can't openly admit that they allow it, however, so don't create an awkward moment by asking about it. It all depends on the crowd and the place, so poke around until you smell the sweet smoke, then you'll know you're most likely in a safe space that's 420 friendly. 

If you want to get to know some friendly locals who might have further advice on where to smoke, where to stay, where to shop, or what to do for fun while you're traveling in Denver, both Sancho's Broken Arrow and Cheba Hut are downtown Denver bars known for their chill stoner crowds and laid back vibes.

When you travel to Denver, you'll find that this town is whatever you make of it. Denver is a great 420-friendly destination for the ultimate marijuana tourism adventure, but it's a lot of other things, too. 

Whether you're traveling with children and looking for family fun, traveling with friends and looking for a party, or traveling alone and looking for peace and solace, there is truly something for everybody in the Denver area. 

Whether you want to explore a museum, visit an amusement park, lounge at a coffeehouse, or dine at a great restaurant, you'll find plenty of options. However, it’s best that you partake in the pot-smoking elsewhere before getting to these places.

And if you want to experience Colorado while high on some of the finest weed our country has to offer, you'll know that smile on your face is fully legal.

CannaSaver loves to help out our 420 friendly friends from around the world, so we've put together a list of some of the best marijuana tourism destinations and attractions to visit if you're planning to travel to Denver.

Marijuana Growing Facility Tours

If you want to take a Colorado marijuana growing facility tour so that you can see for yourself how to grow cannabis, one of the easiest ways is to book a tour with a marijuana tour company like Colorado Cannabis Tours or 420 Tours. Both companies offer an array of sightseeing options including guided tours of cultivation warehouses, stops at Denver's best dispensaries and head shops, and more. The Colorado Cannabis Tour brings visitors via a luxury party bus to Medicine Man Denver's 40,000 square foot hydroponic marijuana growing facility, and also includes a visit to a glassblowing studio and two recreational dispensaries. They can hook you up with discounts on 420 friendly hotels, cannabis cooking classes, stoner-focused art classes, and more. 420 Tours offers a tour of an industrial marijuana cultivation facility, stops at dispensaries with exclusive access to special discounts on your marijuana, and transport in a luxury 420 friendly limo bus. If you want a more private tour, Denver Marijuana Tours offers tours to marijuana growing facilities, dispensaries, and more for up to six people, and they'll take you wherever you want to go for some Colorado sightseeing, whether it's Pikes Peak, Red Rocks National Park, the Coors Brewery tour, or any one of Denver's many marijuana tourism attractions. If a self-guided marijuana tour is more your thing, check out the Denver 3D Cannabis Center, home of the world's largest marijuana cultivation viewing corridor. One of the premier cannabis cultivation and research centers in the world, 3D offers Colorado tourists a look into the scientific aspects of marijuana cultivation and strain development.

Glassblowing Studio Tours 

Marijuana tourism in Denver encompasses a broad range of opportunities for 420 sightseeing and hands-on adventure. If you're planning a self-guided marijuana tour of Denver, be sure to squeeze in some time to visit a glassblowing studio or gallery. Most studios offer free tours and demonstrations, and many offer classes. You can take a workshop in Pipemaking 101 at Glasscraft in Golden (a nearby Denver suburb), or simply stop in and watch the masters at work.

If you're planning a day trip to Colorado Springs, check out DBK Glass Creations, makers of the world's smallest bong. Family-owned and friendly, the folks at DBK Creations welcome marijuana tourists and locals alike. You can watch them blow glass in the studio, or purchase bongs, pipes, and other art-quality glass creations in their retail shop.

The Furnace glassworks in Lakewood, Colorado is another glassblowing studio near Denver offering products, demonstrations, and classes to the public. Specializing in decorative, sculptural, and functional high-quality glasswork, their passion for the art of glassblowing is apparent and contagious.

Cannabis Cooking Classes in Denver

For a marijuana tourism experience that's a little off the beaten path, take a cannabis cooking class. You'll learn how to cook marijuana food that's delicious as well as potent. My 420 Tours offers a two and a half hour class in which you'll learn how to make ganja butter, marijuana infused oils, and more. Colorado Cannabis Tours also offers a cannabis cooking class that teaches you how to make marijuana confections, marijuana candies, cannabis-infused ice cream, and savory sativa inspired main courses. The Stir cooking school is another option for both private and group cannabis cooking classes, with one of their popular offerings being the Stoner Bowl Cooking Class.

More Marijuana Tourism Activities

Other marijuana tourism activities you might consider include taking a 420 friendly art class. Puff, Pass, and Paint offers a great marijuana art class that includes a 2-hour blazing session followed by instruction and an opportunity to create your own work of marijuana inspired art. You can also look around for marijuana-themed art exhibits; just check the listings on the Denver Visual Arts Calendar. For something truly unusual, sign up for a refreshing, relaxing, and rejuvenating ganja yoga retreat hosted by Twisted Sister Yoga.

Whatever marijuana attractions and 420 activities you partake in, don't forget to have fun and enjoy yourself! There's so much to see and do, your options for a personalized marijuana vacation are virtually limitless. So hurry up and buy a plane ticket to Denver, already!

Best Dispensaries in Denver: Recreational dispensaries and medical marijuana

Livwell Broadway:

432 S Broadway, Denver, CO 80209

If you're looking for a convenient and affordable marijuana dispensary in Denver, Colorado, LivWell Broadway is one to check out. Located at Broadway and Alameda in a historical building that dates back all the way to the late nineteenth century, Livwell Broadway sells both recreational and medical marijuana.

If you have questions about a specific strain or need a recommendation of which bud to choose, the staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They can tell you which strains are sativa dominant, which are indica dominant, which are best for pain relief, which are best for a “head high,” and more. If you're enjoying some travel in Colorado and aren't at all familiar with the different weed terms, the staff at Livwell Broadway will explain the basics. They're always happy to describe their buds as well as their weed prices, which vary according to the quality of the cannabis.

One of their usual and most popular marijuana specials is the $99.99 ounce of re. The “popcorn” nugs from the pre-weighs are a little smaller than you'd get with the higher-quality, higher-priced selections, but they're a great value and definitely potent. The higher-quality, larger buds are sold as “gold shelf” or “platinum shelf.” The gold shelf buds are larger, well-formed, and cured for a minimum of 12 to 14 days. These go for $30 an eighth for recreational, with an ounce selling for $175. The platinum shelf consists only of the choicest top buds from the very tips of the topmost colas, which are hang dried, cured for at least 14 to 20 days, and hand trimmed. The platinum shelf flower sells for $50 an eight or $350 for an ounce, but if you can afford it, it's worth it.

LivWell Broadway has a rotating selection of many indica, sativa, and hybrid strains including 303 Kush, a popular indica-dominant strain that's excellent for pain relief, and Tangerine Power, a sativa-dominant strain with a pleasant citrus scent. They also regularly carry Zeta Sage, Golden Goat, Banana Kush, El Diablo, Alien Inferno, Fortune Cookie, and more.
