Some Colorado communities don’t want psychedelic healing centers — but can they stop them?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:32:15 GMT

COKEDALE — Jack Van Heesch experimented hard with all sorts of psychedelics back in the day.“It was a party,” said the full-bearded, 66-year-old resident of this former Colorado mining town perched in the shadows of the Spanish Peaks in Las Animas County.Van Heesch was one of nearly 1.3 million Coloradans last November to vote for Proposition 122, which decriminalized the growing, use and sharing of psilocybin and psilocin — key compounds found in “magic mushrooms” — along with ibogaine, mescaline and dimethyltryptamine, or DMT.But his was a rare yes vote in Cokedale, a tiny hamlet of 150 hardscrabble residents seven miles west of Trinidad. The town, with its 350 defunct coke ovens signifying its legacy as a one-time coal mining hub, isn’t jazzed about psilocybin healing centers coming in.Cokedale, a former coal mining camp seven miles west of Trinidad in Las Animas County, is pictured on March 20, 2023.

Tenants at 20 apartment complexes across Denver are now sharing their amenities with out-of-town guests, as building management is allowing residents to rent out their units as Airbnbs.Vacation rental company Airbnb has partnered with building owners in almost 40 cities “to make it easier for renters to find apartments that let them host part-time,” according to its website.

These are the healthiest — and least healthy — counties in Colorado

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:32:15 GMT

Douglas and Pitkin counties are the healthiest in Colorado for the fifth year in a row, while people living in Otero and Bent counties had the shortest and sickest lives.The annual health rankings compiled by the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute attempt to grade counties across the country on two areas: health outcomes and the factors that influence health.The ranking of counties’ health outcomes combines years of potential life lost from residents dying before age 75; the percentage of people reporting poor health; and the percentage of babies born too small. It correlates strongly with how prosperous a community is.Douglas County has been in first place on that list and Pitkin County has been in second since 2019.The health factors ranking includes measures of education and wealth; exposure to pollution; availability of health care; and behaviors like smoking and excessive drinking. While there are exceptions, communities that do well in one area t...

Opinion: My mom asked me to write about her death so others could make choices too

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:32:15 GMT

My mom, Jan Brackney, had a lovely common life with glimpses of the extraordinary. On Feb. 22, she died like she lived, with full intention and resolution.In life, she desired a large family. So she had five kids with her husband, Milt, of 62 years. Other than that, she wanted travel, bridge games with friends, and time to read. Fairly common goals, yet she accomplished each with vigor: 48 states and 62 countries spanning nine decades; she started dozens of bridge groups and read an average of over 300 books a year for the last decade of her life.I always thought Mom was terrific, but perhaps not too unlike other great moms. I never thought of her as courageous. I was wrong.On the morning of her death, I re-read a note sent to her with love, “Jan, you’re one of the most courageous people I’ve ever met.” Until later that day, I had no idea how true that statement could be.Even in death, at age 91, with her health deteriorating, she was intentional. Mom had very clear goals for her de...
