Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The Gypsy Jane Cannabis Carnival brought two remarkably solid days of music to the Denver Mart over the weekend. Saturday was particularly good for fans of classic hip-hop, with sets from E-40, Too Short, Warren G and your headliner, Snoop Dogg.
Snoop has spent plenty of time in Colorado since marijuana became legal for recreational use on January 1. It’s still a safe assessment that he hasn’t seen anything like Gypsy Jane before, because of the pervasiveness of scenes like the one that leads this post. We truly are the new frontier, people. Photographer Eric Gruneisen was there to bring you several more photos that would have seemed impossible two years ago.
