Three companies that sold cannabis drops blamed for liver injuries will temporarily stop marketing their products in Colorado and pay a $400,000 fine, according to the attorney general’s office. The companies — Nuka Enterprises, Nuka Properties and Sima Sciences — could sell their products in the state again at some point if they meet certain conditions, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said. If they violate the terms of the agreement, the fine would increase to $1 million. Weiser alleged the companies knew customers who took the Midnight Drops sleep aid, sold under the brand name 1906, had developed liver problems,…

Exclusive Resorts’ offer to buy Inspirato just got more premium. The Denver-based vacationing firm has upped its bid to takeover the publicly-traded company from $3.15 a share to $3.50 a share, according to a Thursday offer letter. That price values Inspirato, the members-only luxury travel club, at $43.6 million, up from $39 million under the previous offer. That figure does not include an additional approximately $25 million that Exclusive Resorts says it would also spend to rid of Inspirato’s debt, pay off “outstanding equity-linked securities” and cover transaction expenses. Exclusive said it would spend $68.6 million in all. Exclusive CEO James Henderson called…

It’d be difficult to blame Alex Singleton if he felt cursed. Confused. Just plain mad. Instead, he felt nothing but some pain in his left thumb and a sense of irony. On July 28, the Broncos inside linebacker reached a day he’d been dreaming about through months of rehab: His first practice in pads since tearing his ACL on Sept. 22, 2024, against Tampa Bay. The fun didn’t last a full camp practice. Singleton was mid-practice when he tried to punch at the ball, but instead caught position-mate Dre Greenlaw’s brace. Broken left thumb. A plate and a screw inserted…

Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila, who has presided over the city’s Catholic archdiocese for 13 years, will submit his canonically mandated request to retire to Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday, his 75th birthday. It is a requirement of the church that Catholic bishops and archbishops submit their resignation to the pope when they turn 75. But those resignations may be accepted quickly or take some time. Aquila recently spoke to the Denver Catholic, the archdiocese’s official publication, about his retirement and his time serving as Denver’s archbishop. He recently marked 49 years of priesthood, with 38 of those years spent in…

For a limited time this fall, Casa Bonita will be reimagined as a seasonal pop-up that aims to celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. Starting Sept. 30, the iconic Lakewood restaurant will be known as Casa BOOnita, with festive decor and other surprises, co-owner Matt Stone told The Denver Post in an exclusive interview. Its spooky aesthetic is expected to stay up through Nov. 2 and guests don’t need to pay for anything extra beyond their meal to enjoy it. While most of the changes are related to decor, certain roving performers will also be removed from the floor during…

The 2025 Rockies’ motto: Too little, too late, too bad. As has become their custom during this historically awful season, the Rockies made some late-inning noise Thursday afternoon at Coors Field, scoring four runs in the ninth. A solo homer by Blaine Crim, an RBI double by Ryan Ritter, and a two-run homer by Mickey Moniak powered the surge. Moniak has hit a home run in four consecutive games, the first Rockies player to do that since Ryan McMahon, from May 26-29, 2023. But all of that wasn’t enough to stave off loss No. 112 in front of an announced…

Darren Rizzi sensed trouble just before the fateful snap against Indianapolis. The Broncos, though, could not reset. The closing seconds of Sunday’s walk-off loss to the Colts are well-covered by this point. The 60-yard Spencer Shrader field goal attempt that went begging short and right. The leverage penalty on Dondrea Tillman that gave Shrader another chance. The 45-yarder sailing through the uprights and dropping Denver to 1-1 moments after the team thought it had started the season with two wins. Rizzi on Thursday acknowledged that Tillman erred when he, just before the snap, switched places with interior defensive lineman Eyioma…
