KITTREDGE – An Evergreen resident is bringing a new business to the area: hemp farming.

Brady Bell is operating Ambary Gardens out of the old Evergreen Nursery at 26479 Highway 74 in Kittredge, with the help of owner Steve Cohen. The greenhouses there will be used to grow medical-grade hemp plants for cultivation of cannabidiol, or CBD oil, an extract being used to treat a number of chronic illnesses.

The business will not be a retail operation open to the public, but Bell said they plan to do plenty of outreach to educate the community about what they are doing and why.

“We’re trying to raise awareness and bridge the gap, sharing the differences between (marijuana) and hemp,” Bell said.

DENVER, Mary's Nutritionals, a subsidiary of Mary's Medicinals, today announced the availability of Mary's Rescue Tonic, the first product scientifically developed to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of cannabis overconsumption.

Mary's Rescue is formulated with a blend of clinical-grade nutrients and calming plant-based ingredients designed to reduce anxiety, relieve paranoia, and help restore the user to a more grounded state of mind.  Mary's will be providing samples of Mary's Rescue to attendees of the 2015 Denver High Times™ Cannabis Cup™.

Looking to work for a medical or retail dispensary in Colorado? Cannabis business owners aren’t the only ones who get to pay licensing fees to the Colorado Department of Revenue Marijuana Enforcement Division; employees of both medical and retail dispensaries must pay application fees for the privilege to wear state-issued identification badges. The badges are backed up by fingerprints and background checks, but for the people looking for jobs created by legalized marijuana, it takes money to make money.

According to Studio A64 owner KC Stark, "Colorado Springs is the Silicon Valley of cannabis. Denver is the Hollywood — we're more technical, more conservative."

There's some truth to that. While Denver is testing the public-perception limits of Amendment 64 with weed-friendly events like movie screenings, concerts and tour buses, the Springs is exploring new business models.

Enter the cannabis clubs. Parents want somewhere to smoke where the wee 'uns won't wonder about the smell. Young renters want somewhere to hit the bong without violating the lease agreement. And tourists don't want to buy pipes only to ditch them in airport amnesty boxes. There is a need, and these clubs fill it.

Back in January, ebbu LLC‘s Dooma Wendschuh was embarking on a journey to raise $9 million in venture capital funding. The money will fund research and development into cannabis products that Colorado-based ebbu plans to produce and sell.

Since announcing the opening of the capital raising, Wendschuh has spent much of his time on the road talking to potential investors. The exercise has involved late nights, early mornings, working holidays, more alcohol ingestion than he is used to and revisions to the business plan based on feedback from potential investors.

Over the past five years, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with both the good and the bad in the marijuana industry. As is the case in any industry, if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. This is even more likely to be the case in the marijuana industry, which far too many view as the “green rush.” So, I think it time I share with you my Top 10 Marijuana Industry Red Flags so that you know what to look for to protect yourself or your marijuana business client:
