DENVER - A medical marijuana dispensary was robbed at gunpoint Sunday afternoon.

Officer responded to the Rino Supply at 3100 Blake Street at 1:45 p.m. The suspects fired shots as they left, but no one was injured according to police.

"I've heard they were partially disguised, so we're looking into that," said Denver police spokesperson Sonny Jackson. "We do know that one individual was wearing a pink or purple dress shirt. One of them was possibly wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates, no sorry, a Pittsburgh Steelers baseball cap."

Investigators say they're looking for as many as four male suspects who were last seen leaving in a newer silver Mercedes and an older, beat-up VW van.

Armed robbers barged into a Denver medical marijuana shop Sunday afternoon and, after stealing undisclosed items, fired two shots.

Denver police say they've launched a wide search.

The robbers got away in a silver Mercedes and a beat-up Volkswagen van, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.

One of the suspects was wearing a purple or pink button-down shirt; another wore a Pittsburgh Steelers cap, Jackson said.

U.S. Cannabis Benchmark Spot Index down 9% to $1,948 as harvest begins. The national price decreased by $185 per pound week-on-week, after reaching $2,133 last week, in what currently appears to have been the seasonal peak.

The fall harvest season has begun. Depending on local climate and the strains being grown, outdoor growers will generally harvest from mid-September to mid-November. Kushes and other indica-dominant strains are ready for harvest earlier, while sativa-dominant varieties require more time to mature if they are to be considered high-quality and exhibit fully the characteristics desired by consumers.

The first numbers are in, and they point to a resounding success: the state of Colorado’s Department of Revenue announced that legal marijuana pulled in some $70 million in taxes last year- nearly double the amount made from alcohol taxes ($42 million)!

On Wednesday, September 16, the state celebrated its new, “higher” source of income by suspending marijuana taxes for one day.

The marijuana legalization experiments underway in Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington have attracted a lot of attention around the country as test sites for the effects of legalization and exploring pot’s potential as a source of tax revenue.

When it comes to the fiscal underpinnings of Colorado government, the moving parts — and rules regulating them — are almost too many to count.

But with undisputed needs in areas including transportation, affordable housing and education, how do the parts work together and which ones can be jimmied so the state can pay for its needs?

State Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins, expects several attempts to change Colorado’s tax collection and refund policy in coming months, even if temporarily.

It all starts in November, when the state asks voters to let it keep $58 million in marijuana sales taxes.

In 2012 Coloradans approved Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana for recreational use, by avote of 55 percent to 45 percent. Last February a Quinnipiac University poll found that 58 percent of Colorado voters supported that decision, while 38 percent opposed it and the rest weren’t sure.

It seems as though Colorado is rolling in the green, thanks to legalized marijuana. 

The state is enjoying a steady flow of dough (and presumably cookie dough sales) since it made pot legal for recreational use in 2012 – though it wasn’t distributed commercially until 2014. 

Reports now show it’s been a good move for Colorado, which has racked in $70 million in marijuana taxes between July 2014 and June 2015. That’s significantly more than what the state’s alcohol-specific taxes brought in during the same time period – $42 million.

On Wednesday, Colorado showed its appreciation for pot users by instating a day long “tax holiday,” where the substance in its many forms could be purchased tax-free.

Sliced thin with flecks of dill peeking out, the salmon looks like any other of gravlax you would have for brunch. But put it on a bagel with a schmear of cream cheese, and you will get pretty stoned eating this delicacy.

The mastermind behind the THC-infused salmon – cured in salt, dill, lemon, sugar and a weed tincture – is Josh Pollack, owner of Rosenberg’s Bagels and Delicatessen in Denver.

“I love bagels and lox, and I love cannabis,” Pollack said.
