Your old weed gummies might still be good

So here's what's wild— someone out there found a pack of "strong" weed gummies behind their dresser from 2022 and asked Westword if they were still good. Look, I get it. You're moving, you're digging through stuff, and suddenly, a little relic from a simpler time appears. But two years? That’s a long time for anything to sit, especially something you ingest. It just feels like such a Denver question, you know? Like, we’ve been legal for so long that these kinds of domestic archaeological finds are probably happening in half the apartments in Cap Hill or even out in Stapleton.

Okay, context— Westword’s answer, for the curious, was basically "maybe, but probably not in a good way." They talked about how edibles don't really 'go bad' in a way that makes you sick like spoiled milk, but the THC can degrade, and the texture and taste are definitely going to be off. Imagine biting into a gummy that's been marinating in dust bunnies for two years. Not exactly a Red Rocks concert snack, is it?

* **The Vibe Check:** This isn't just about old edibles; it’s a peek into the casual, almost mundane way cannabis has integrated into daily life here. We're past the novelty; now it's just another thing you might forget behind your furniture, right next to that random ski glove. It also speaks to the chill, slightly forgetful nature of a city that's always got something else going on, whether it's hitting the slopes or trying to avoid I-70 traffic.

This story, mundane as it sounds, just perfectly encapsulates a certain Denver reality. We're a city that legalized early, and now we're just...living with it. Finding old gummies isn't a scandal; it’s a Tuesday. It’s a reminder that while Denver is blowing up with new tech companies and a housing market that'll make your eyes water, some things just stay uniquely, weirdly Denver.

Mile high on the wire — altitude and attitude.
