All the news we didn't pack into a bowl and smoke

  DISPENSARY GOT TALENT
   Sing a Tune, Get 30% Off Med Edibles! 
 
I dreamed a dream of 30% off!
Twenty percent off on Medible Monday not a big enough deal for you? How about singing your way to 30% off any day instead?!

Helping Hands and Bud Depot Medical stores will knock 30% off the price of budtenter's choice of edibles if you bust out and sing a verse from your favorite song.

Here's how it works. 1. Sing. 2. Budtender will be impressed (or pretend to be). 3. Budtender will select a mystery edible for you and knock 30% off 4. You'll walk away with snackable THC at nearly cost!

This might not be your big break, but eat your edible and you'll be feeling like a star.

Budtender's choice. Exp 3/19/2015. Medical only. Can't combine with other deals.

SEEDS OF CHANGE
Rec Seeds Now Available Only in Lyons 

Attention Recreational seed shoppers - all sales of Rec seeds have moved exclusively to our Bud Depot Dispensary in Lyons, Colorado.
Just one more great reason to visit Lyons, Colorado - home of the world's largest contra dance!

While we've been selling seeds at Helping Hands Rec for the last few months, regulations now prohibit seed sales inside the Boulder Bubble. Pop!

But no worries, getting to The Depot is just a pretty little drive north from Boulder and they've got the same great selection - plus excellent budtenders who will be able to assist you with finding the right seeds for your botanical needs.

The Depot is easy to reach from Denver, taxes are lower than Boulder, and it's a great little town famous for beer and bluegrass. All in all it's a great shift!

Medical seed shoppers can continue to shop at either Helping Hands Med or Bud Depot Med. Questions? Call the Depot at (303) 823-6422 or HHH at (303) 444-1564 or visit our Seeds FAQ page.

CAREGIVER PROGRAM UPDATE 
State Tax Rules Change Our Tune
   
Due to strict new tax compliance rules, we regret to say that as of April 1 we'll be unable to continue offering the "no tax" benefit as part of our Caregiver Program at either of our Med stores. Yeah, we know.

It's been a great part of our program and we're sorry to see it go, but don't worry - we'll still be offering 10 cent weekly member grams with any purchase, which works out to over $600 in free weed every year! Plus members can pick up $150 oz at The Bud Depot every single day and we'll be offering more great "members only" promos.

Not to mention we've always got amazing deals like $125 ounces and daily discounts, and our prices are already some of the lowest in town, especially when you consider our buds are organically grown. And we'll still be able to continue our high-volume patient program where qualified patients can get 8oz of buds any time at $125/oz. 

If you've got questions about the program or change, contact HHH Med at (303) 444-1564 and Depot Med at (303) 823-6422.

PUT A BIRD ON JAPAN!
From India Chaos to Total Perfection  

Because life is either a great adventure or nothing at all (and the dollar is strong against the yen), I've taken the leap from India to Japan and taken the "Bird" with me - and it's been an awesome move!

From no toilet seat (or even toilet) to heated toilet seats, from burning garbage to burning incense, from stomach problems to stomach full of sushi, from people who stare at you to people who don't look at you at all, the contrast is incredible. I've exchanged my yoga pants and sandals for a kimono and a folding bicycle and it's been great. I'll take the Bird along as I explore what I think is one of the world's most fascinating places, but I can't promise any weed stories. It's way illegal here. Stay tuned.

Oh, and ps: India might be the birthplace of Kush, but Colorado has taken bud to a whole new level. It may not be grown by holy men in Himalayan mist, but I'll take Rocky Mountain marijuana over India's indicas any day.

HOLI STONER MOVE
Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things (while high)

Done something funny or extra goofy while high? Email us and tell the story. We'll add it here and you'll get a 10 cent joint for your confession!

Holi is the Indian Hindu festival where people dance
Now what did I do with my passport?
in the streets and throw brightly colored, highly toxic powder on each other - and it's the most exciting day of the year.

It's the day they also drink "bhang" - a hash-infused milk that's widely consumed and makes the day all that much more surreal and amazing. But it also means that if you drink too much bhang like I did, you're likely to be very goofed up which can cause lingering issues when dealing with the logistics of international travel the next day, such as:
  • Telling the taxi driver that you want to go to the airport, but forgeting to specify
    international aiport, not domestic.
  • Going to the domestic airport and you can't figure out why there's no international flights no matter where you look. Oh. Oops. Catch taxi to correct airport.
  • As you're searching for your passport, you find a half-smoked joint in your journal which would have very quickly and easily wound you up in a prison in India, or Japan. Very very bad. Oops. Give it to a very hapy taxi driver.
  • Get on the flight, kick back, relax. Pull out laptop, but on some tunes. The sound is low and muffled but you're too baked to really deal with it. Until 20 minutes later when the flight attendant tells you that your headphones aren't plugged in and you've been annoying the other passengers with your loud music. Oops. But it was a Dead show - they should be thankful. But, ok, sorry, oops.
  • Arrive in Japan where weed is highly illegal and realize, it's ok, I've got enough hash in my system to make me do goofy things for at least a week.
  • Pour soy sauce on first bowl of rice in Japan - major cultural no-no. Like I said. . .
