Only days before Denvers recreational weed shops open for the first time, The Denver Post this week launched its new marijuana-centric vertical, The Cannabist. Led by the Posts marijuana editor Ricardo Baca, the site will include product and strain reviews, recipes and food, politics, and news of interest for smokers in the Denver area. Bacas appointment last month signaled the Post taking a vested interest in weed culture as marijuana inches toward broad legalization.
