At Terrapin Care Station, a Denver dispensary on Broadway, area manager Adam Shepler stood behind a counter displaying an array of more than 20 low-dose cannabis products: gummies, patches, drinks, topical lotions, tinctures, a vape and a powder.Most of them were recently released. Though Shepler has fielded customer interest in low-dose products for years, he’s now interacting with more newcomers seeking holistic anxiety relief — and the industry is responding. Soon, the shop on Broadway will also carry flower that’s half CBD, half THC.“As more consumers have been demanding this, you’re seeing more companies cater to that market,” Shepler said.In…

Gretchen McKay | (TNS) Pittsburgh Post-GazetteBeans are kind of like the your best friend from high school — nearly forgotten but always ready to step back into the limelight and help out an old pal when needed.As gorgeously (and tantalizingly) demonstrated in Rancho Gordo’s new cookbook, “The Bean Book: 100 Recipes for Cooking with All Kinds of Beans” (Ten Speed, $35), beans are indeed a magical fruit, though not in the way you heard as a kid.Classified as both a vegetable and a plant-based protein in the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, beans and other legumes can be the ingredient…

The former Super Bowl champion has created an invested culture, supported his defensive coordinator’s aggressiveness and found a franchise quarterback in rookie Bo Nix. At 7-5, after their first win in Las Vegas and first road win against the Raiders in eight years, the Broncos sit firmly in the playoffs. That is remarkable work for a team in transition that oddsmakers pegged to win between five and six games. It…

Mayor Mike Johnston’s pointed comments last week about Denverites resisting a federal mass-deportation effort — including a suggestion that he would mobilize the Denver Police Department to face off with federal and National Guard troops — have generated blowback in Colorado and across the country.Even billionaire Elon Musk, President-elect Donald Trump’s most visible benefactor and adviser, appeared to weigh in on Saturday on X, the social media platform that Musk owns.“Those who break the law will be arrested, and that includes mayors,” Musk posted in response to another post about the mayor’s comments.On Monday, Johnston reiterated his commitment to resisting…
