The tiny town of Moffat, Colorado is considering changing its name to “Kush”, to celebrate its growing cannabis industry. The idea came from Mike Biggio, the owner and founder of Area 420, which licenses land for cannabis cultivation in Moffat. Cassandra Foxx, the mayor of Moffat, said Biggio’s business “kind of gave us life, like a rebirth”. “Kush” is a popular slang term for cannabis, which is legal in Colorado.
