According to Internet legend, the “Dot-Com Boom” marked a period in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, which saw a huge rise in market equity and stock prices due to rapid growth in the Tech and Internet sector and related fields. This was a culmination of steady commercial growth of Internet technologies introduced in the 90’s, such as the web browser. The boom was so great, that some companies were able to increase their stock prices simply by adding an “e” or a “.com” to their business name. 

There can be few booms without a bust. The dot-com bubble burst somewhere around early 2001 or before. Some companies, like pets.com, faded into oblivion. Others, such as Amazon and eBay, took massive stock price hits but still went on to become the web giants they are today.

The principals of the Lau Ola medical cannabis dispensary invited their neighbors and associates to a blessing and ground breaking for the future site of their grow facility in Pepe’ekeo.

The gathering took place Tuesday morning on Kaupakuea Homestead Road, the former site of Richard Ha’s Hamakua Springs banana farm. Ha was joined by Lau Ola’s director of operations Dylan Shropshire, consultant Autumn Karcey of Cultivo Inc., and others helping to bring the project to fruition.

Keahi Warfield blessed the land where the phase one structure will one day nurture 3,000 marijuana plants. Ha said he plans to have the operation up and running toward the end of the first quarter of 2017. Lau Ola is allowed two dispensary locations, and plans to put one in Hilo and one in Kona.

You have been asking this immortal question all your life.

What’s worse – drunk sex or stoned sex? If this is one of those questions you have been asking yourself for a while, scientists apparently have the answer – based on interviews from 24 participants.

Researchers from New York University’s Centre for Drug Use and HIV Research looked at adults who engaged in sex while either drunk on alcohol or high on marijuana.

Based on the information given to them by the participants, they found that, overall, drunk sex is riskier and worse for you than sex while high.

Back in the day, growing weed at home involved you forfeiting an entire closet or room in your home, along with endless hours of research, constant attention and, of course, the risk of arrest. But now that cannabis is legal in multiple regions of the United States, the industry is booming with new and creative ways to grow the sticky icky indoors. 

Video games and good herb go together like American football and beer. Of all the games out there today, none has gone crazy like Pokemón GO. So when will weed lovers have their own version? How about right now? Here’s what you need to know about Ganjaman GO.

The man investing in the old buildings plans to open a greenhouse and processing facility to make cannabis oil as a medical treatment for people with severe epilepsy.

We were going to Denver for a wedding and a concert and I wanted to check out the pot scene. The cracks I hear about supporting Gary Johnson for president are mostly about his support for legalizing marijuana.

Colorado and I go way back, to a teenage “coming of age” camping trip with Coors, other “provisions,” and hitch-hiking girls.

It was The Seventies.

My wife and I lived in Denver after our first daughter was born. I was “becoming an Advertising guy” after my first stint in radio; a freshly-minted Yuppie pushing a stroller.

It was the Eighties.
