a while back i brought the idea up with other mods.... they said first and foremost issue is running it by gypsy, making sure we can do something where all participants are SAFE.
Like I said, plenty of love and hate for the guy in the industry, but as far as securing legit venues for cannabis events, he's not a bad resource.not sure what exactly it entails.... certainly to begin with: a feeling of safety in the location(s) we meet
AJ "hasman" has a shady past in the denver scene... he's big on throwing events that's for sure... but the guy has just rubbed me and mine the wrong way for some time now. not trying at all to shit on the guy or his scene/parties, just stating my experiences with him.
(this is the guy who got busted for using an unclean washing machine to make his water hash some time back, and MED got involved)
Maybe a good way for the ICmag community to expand, allow public attendance but limit competition to people who have an active icmag presence?Yeah I don't know if it would have to be exclusively Icmag peeps only. It could even be something where you could invite guests or be entirely open. We could figure that out on down the road.
Via jason "stickman" warf:
"Next Tuesday the Colorado Springs City Council will be voting on an ordinance that bans paraphernalia for anyone under 18. The ordinance is blatantly unconstitutional and is very vague. It will criminalize all children who are patients. It could result in very bad circumstances for any cannabis users that have children. It is bad. Very bad! Please be there to testify against this ordinance. This is bad and I feel it is just the beginning of the attacks...Tuesday, CS City Hall 1 PM"
dont forget the whole religious right stronghold thing going on in CoS....CS politics are a black hole of conservative authoritarian bullshit. It's the new home of the Fundie Fringe & host to several military installations w/ lots of military retirees as well.
dont forget the whole religious right stronghold thing going on in CoS....
all that being said... moving forward understanding that it's probably the most backwards and ignorant large city in Colorado springs (at least on the front range, because GJ may be slightly more stupid and backwards).... there are still some decent vibes in the springs....
the speakeasy is a decent lil vibe in there, they are community minded business people ime.... and the "lazy lion" is an unlicensed rec dispensary that the springs has pretty much left alone and allowed to operate.
Whenever ive visited Grand Junction it seemed republican and conservative, but it's been years since I've been back. Thought about moving to Co because I've got cousins there, but didnt think legalization would pass.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on Grand Junction though as far as weed and the people/ cost of living.
Not too close with my Co. cousins, be surprised if they smoke weed.
