r/Denver

I had a wonderful time visiting your beautiful city this past weekend. My friend and I flew in for a concert and didn't have much time to explore, but what we did see will stay with me for awhile.

The TSA just updated its medical marijuana policy to allow weed on both checked and carry on baggage. Wheeeeee.

EDIT:

Here's the new policy text:

TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance or evidence of criminal activity is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.

Here's the older version:

Possession of marijuana and certain cannabis infused products, including some Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, remain illegal under federal law. TSA officers are required to report any suspected violations of law, including possession of marijuana and certain cannabis infused products. 

Products/medications that contain hemp-derived CBD or are approved by the FDA are legal as long as it is produced within the regulations defined by the law under the Agriculture Improvement Act 2018.

TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like they softened the language considerably.

Downtown Denver’s Skyline Park is continuing to move through a massive long-term redevelopment project that could completely reshape one of downtown’s most recognizable public spaces.

Current plans for the central block of the park include:

• A massive interactive water plaza
• Seasonal ice skating rink
• Café and seasonal bar
• Fire terraces
• Outdoor dining areas
• Event space
• Upgraded landscaping and significantly more greenery
• Improved pedestrian and bike connections

One of the biggest goals of the redesign is removing many of the walls, stairs, and barriers that currently make portions of the park feel disconnected from surrounding downtown streets.

The long-term vision is to turn Skyline Park into a much more active year-round public gathering space in the heart of downtown Denver.

Construction on the first phase is already underway.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to start a "Dad Crew" centered around a 12-team Dynasty Fantasy Football league. My kid is brand new and I’ve realized that between the diapers and Central Park Home Depot runs, it’s easy to lose that "guy time" and community.

The Vision:

Beyond the Game: Yes, it’s a competitive $100 Superflex Sleeper Dynasty league, but the real goal is to have a local group of dads to swap tips with, talk shop, and eventually host some Sunday game watches.

In-Person Connection: We’ll do a casual pre-draft meetup early this summer (around June) just to grab a coffee, let the kids touch some grass, and break the ice. Then, we'll do an in-person startup draft this August at a local park, brewery, or library.

The "Dad Tax": Strictly for dads with kids in the 0-2 range. We’re all in the same "tired" boat together.

If your husband/partner needs an excuse to talk football and meet some solid local guys, or if you're a dad reading this—DM me! Let's build a local league that actually lasts.
