Since the 1960's, Boulder, Colorado and drugs have had a close relationship and if you meander around downtown Pearl Street you will see that the 60s are alive and well in Boulder. This isn't a bad thing by any means.... Boulder is proud of its history of university/arts culture and it well should be.. but with this comes the romanticizing and embellishing the value of drugs in Boulder. Because of this situation, many young people have found tolerance for alcohol and drug use in Boulder and availability of illicit drugs. Anyone familiar with the Pearl Street Mall, in downtown Boulder, can easily identify the part of the Boulder population that is in need of alcohol and drug treatment in Boulder or some forms of short or long-term rehab.

There are approximately 31,000 Colorado drug rehab and addiction treatment center admissions each year, however, due to the high relapse rate of many traditional drug rehab programs iin Boulder, most families are searching for something that works. This is where Colorado Drug Rehab can help. The University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado has been known for many years as of Playboy Magazine's top ten party schools and most of that reputation comes from alcohol use and abuse. In recent years the University has restricted alcohol use in certain areas, but the college population is still heavily involved in underage drinking. Marijuana is also a drug of choice among this population and with the increased potency of today's marijuana, it has become much more debilitating then in years past.
Boulder Crystal Meth and Methamphetamine Use
Crystal Meth use in Boulder is higher per capita than in many other communities in Colorado. Colorado Drug Rehab has taken more calls from meth users in Boulder than those seeking help from alcohol problems, but this is also related to the rapid severity of negative consequences of meth use whereas alcohol abuse and addiction allows the user/addict to consume alcohol for a longer period of time before it causes sever debilitation.
This Isn't the Boulder that I Remember or Want
When drug rehab in Boulder and drug prevention are not effective, society pays in painful ways. In California, which is usually the trend setter for many things in our society, both bad and good; the State Board of Education has adopted the message in prevention to elementary and secondary students that the use and experimentation with drugs, especially marijuana, is a natural "rite of passage" and part of the developmental processes of our children. Colorado Drug Rehab disagrees in the strongest way. You can begin to take the attitude that perhaps this is misguided research and that good people are making policies because they believe in the science, but when they will not allow for a drug-free message to be given in the schools, you should start following the money. See how many middle-schools have posters about "health" that are sponsored by Eli Lilly and other pharmaceutical companies. This type of "psychological" understanding of our kids leads to the following that occurred in Boulder, Colorado the week of April 20th, 2008. This passage taken from the Daily Camera... Boulder's newspaper:
"Three female Nevin Platt Middle School students were arrested on felony charges this week after an investigation into prescription drug trading that sent a fourth girl home sick, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office....The two girls accused of handing out pills face felony charges of possessing and distributing a Schedule II controlled substance, the Sheriff's Office said. The student who held the pills was also arrested and faces a possession charge."
We can't continue to criminalize our youth and increase the criminal justice system in Boulder. We are at the edge of becoming a police governed state because we do not take responsibility for ensure and demanding that our drug treatment and drug rehabs are effective, that our drug prevention messages are sound and effective and that anyone that is promoting anything other than those types of programs should be subject to the free-market and not supported by our tax dollars. Take the time as citizens of the wonderful city of Boulder, Colorado to call the Colorado Drug Rehab line and we will help educate you on the many out-points in your local "war on drugs". Giving felonies to middle-school children is an indicator that things have gotten out of hand and they don't do that on their own. The citizens of Boulder, Colorado must push for effective programs and not allow the ideas that addiction is an inescapable chronic and progressive disease. Are these two young women diseased or are they misguided by our "mental health counselors" and others that follow those suppressive messages. Call Colorado Drug Rehab at 877-888-4802 and start building your awareness and you will see your responsibillity level rise as well... the good news is taking responsibility brings you happiness!

Latest Drug News in Boulder
Unfortunately, most of the news lately has been on the legalized marijuana scene. There must be other items of news, but this is taking up the pages in June, 2010: This is from the Colorado Daily (Boulder, Colorado)
BOULDER POT DISPENSARIES STRUGGLE WITH NEW STATE RULES ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA
Boulder-area providers of medical marijuana are scrambling to comply with new state regulations that require them to grow most of their own pot, keep detailed records of all transactions and apply for state licenses through a process that includes criminal background checks.
The new rules, signed into law by Gov. Bill Ritter earlier this month, are predicted to put at least half of the state's 1,100 medical marijuana dispensaries out of business.
Local dispensary owners agree their numbers soon will be fewer, but each business owner is doing everything possible to be one of the survivors.
"When I look six months down the road, we're either going to be very successful because we made it through this, or we're going to be out of business," said Ryan Hartman, owner of Boulder Wellness Center on Arapahoe Avenue.
The biggest hurdle for Hartman is the requirement that dispensaries grow 70 percent of their own marijuana by Sept. 1. Hartman doesn't have the resources to hire employees right now, and he and his partners -- his wife and another couple -- are working "triple-time" to ramp up what had been a very small growing operation.
The new rules also require that dispensaries -- called "medical marijuana centers" -- have a local license by July 1 and apply for a state license through an as-yet-undetermined process by Aug. 1. The state license requires criminal background checks for all owners, officers and employees and calls for detailed security and record-keeping measures to account for all the marijuana that moves through a center.
"I think ultimately the goal of the legislation is to centralize the industry so it's easier to keep track of and control and tax," said Eric Moutz, a Boulder attorney who specializes in advising clients who work with medical marijuana.
While some of the law's requirements are clear, many of the details still need to be worked out through a state rule-making process that could take most of the year.
"Everything is in a holding pattern until the rules get set," Moutz said. "And those could be crippling or they could be very reasonable."
At the same time, marijuana advocates are pursuing several lawsuits aimed at blocking the new laws.
Matt Cook, senior director of enforcement for the Colorado Department of Revenue, already has spent hours in meetings with people with a stake in the outcome -- dispensary owners, patient advocates, makers of edibles -- and expects the rule-making process to take the better part of the year, though a basic application for a state license should be available sometime in July.
The rest of the law won't go into effect until July 1, 2011.
Cook said the state has several licensing standards for controversial industries, such as liquor stores and casinos, from which to draw in developing requirements for medical marijuana centers, and he's committed to an open process that includes input from a variety of sectors.
The law also allows municipalities and their voters to ban dispensaries, as well as regulate their location and the total number of dispensaries.
Superior recently became the first town in Boulder County to completely ban dispensaries. Lafayette, Louisville and Longmont all extended existing moratoriums on new dispensaries into next year. That gives the towns more time to see how state regulation develops and consider what local regulations to implement.
Boulder spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said the city attorney's office is studying the new law and how it relates to local regulations adopted earlier this year. Those require dispensaries to pay expensive licensing fees and limit how many dispensaries can locate in a given area.
As of the end of April, 125 people had active sales tax licenses for marijuana-related businesses in Boulder, Huntley said, but city officials believe there are only 40 to 50 dispensaries open and operating.
Ernie Travis, owner of Boulder Vital Herbs on north Broadway, said the new requirements represent a significant cost. He'll have to come up with fees for both the city and the state, but the real hurdle is growing more of his own supply. Setting up a grow operation large enough to meet his business' needs will cost $50,000, he said.
"I always wanted to be the store where you could come in and shake the hand of the farmer who grew your medicine, but it's just not humanly possible," he said.
Over the last year, he supplied about 10 percent of his store's marijuana and bought the rest from area growers.
To meet the new requirements, he's selling shares in his business to some of his growers, turning them into part-owners and counting their efforts toward his 70 percent.
Moutz said such arrangements between growers and retail operations may not pass muster with regulators. However, the new regulations explicitly allow dispensary owners to have employees who work on growing pot, whereas before, anyone who dealt with marijuana had to be either a caregiver or a patient.
"Now you won't have to have this fiction of being a caregiver" if all you do is grow marijuana for sale, he said.
However, sticking with caregiver status would allow providers to avoid many of the new regulations, including the detailed record-keeping that could come back to hurt providers if the federal government cracks down on pot.
"You have to keep detailed records of the sale of a product that still is illegal at the federal level," Moutz said. "That's what would scare me. You're required to keep records that would implicate you in federal drug crimes."
Moutz said he expects to see some dispensary owners getting out of the business and setting up as caregivers whose patients have a doctor's recommendation that allows them to have a large number of plants.
The surplus will end up in a gray market or even a black market for marijuana, but the business will take place out of sight of the public and regulators.
"I don't condone that," Moutz said. "It's clearly illegal. But it's easier than complying with the law."
Boulder County City of Superior has Other Opinions:
From the Summit Daily News on June 15, 2010:
1ST COLORADO CITY BANS POT SHOPS
SUPERIOR - The Boulder County town of Superior is the first in Colorado to ban medical marijuana shops after a state law last week allowed such actions.
Superior town council members voted 6-0 Monday to ban dispensaries. Other towns, including Vail, are moving quickly toward banning marijuana dispensaries.
Gov. Bill Ritter signed a law last week that allows cities to ban marijuana shops, or make moratoriums permanent. Before that, many cities banned pot shops through moratoriums or by denying business licenses, but state law was silent on whether that was permitted.
Medical marijuana advocates have vowed to challenge local dispensary bans in court.

Drugs of Abuse in Boulder, Colorado
Cocaine is considered a significant drug threat to Colorado. Powder cocaine is readily available in Boulder throughout Colorado and crack cocaine is readily available in Boulder and other urban population areas in Colorado. Cocaine is the drug most often associated with violent crime in the State. Cocaine is generally sold in ounce and pound quantities in Colorado. Crack use is declining but remains available in the larger metropolitan areas of Colorado.
Club drugs, which are mostly synthetic substances, are increasing in availability and use in Boulder, Colorado. LSD in liquid form has been readily available in Boulder since the 60's. During 2001, 34% of those surveyed in Colorado reported lifetime usage of MDMA. 4.5% of those surveyed reported usage of MDMA within the past 30 days. The average user age was 17.3, and the average age of first time use was 15.9 years.
Heroin - The most common types of heroin available in Boulder are Mexican black tar heroin and brown powdered heroin. New heroin users in Boulder are often young adults who smoke or snort the drug rather than inject it. This is due to a misconception that this practice is safer and less likely to lead to physical addiction. Cheese heroin (a black tar heroin/diphenhydramine mixture) has been widely developed in the Dallas, Texas area, with 22 deaths in Dallas County since 2005. There are no current reports of widespread cheese heroin abuse outside the Dallas area; however, in March the Boulder County, Colorado, Drug Task Force reported that novice heroin abusers were crushing over-the-counter pain relief tablets containing acetaminophen and diphenhydramine, mixing them into black tar heroin, and snorting the mixture.
Marijuana is readily available in multi-pound quantities throughout Boulder and the rest of Colorado . A highly potent form of marijuana, called "BC Bud," is also easily obtainable.
Methamphetamine is a primary drug threat to Boulder, Colorado. Crystal methamphetamine, also known as glass in Colorado, is becoming increasingly available throughout the State and has tested as high as 90% pure. Purity levels for methamphetamine vary in Colorado.
