Reader: Phish Plus Legal Weed Is the Heaven of Teenage Dreams

Phish is making a tradition of playing Denver's Dick's Sporting Goods Park over Labor Day weekend, and this year is no exception. And while Colorado has always had a soft spot for the band's jams, legal weed may be making our state's shows all the more enticing, even heavenly.

Phish is making a tradition of playing Denver's Dick's Sporting Goods Park over Labor Day weekend, and this year is no exception. And while Colorado has always had a soft spot for the band's jams, legal weed may be making our state's Phish concerts all the more enticing, even heavenly.

At least that's what Westword reader Hooter thinks:

Phish doing three shows in a state where weed is legal. This is the heaven I dreamed about as a teenager.

What do you think: Is Phish plus legal weed heaven or hell?
