Member-only story
On December 5th, 2015, I moved to Colorado and made my first legal cannabis purchase.
Literally mid-move into the state — with a truck full of my belongings — I stopped to buy legal weed.
I was so excited.
Plus, I’d just escaped Kansas (Mizzou’s arch rival and a terrible state for weed).
I bought 2 brands I had already heard of:
- Mahatma shatter (a product we’d been getting off-market in MO for years)
- Apothecanna Lotion (The only other non-smokable I’d had was chapstick)
Needless to say, the market has changed significantly since.
And, in spite of increased access and supply…
…it hasn’t necessarily been for the better.

When I moved to CO, the “good stuff” was only available to medical patients.
