Colorado Symphony Orchestra Collaborating with Colorado Weed Industry

At present time, Colorado’s lone Symphony Orchestra is facing a series of financial issues stemming from budget troubles and dwindling audiences, and now the Colorado Symphony Orchestra is looking to raise interest and funds a uniquely Colorado way: by partnering with the state’s burgeoning marijuana movement. Since Colorado legalized the recreational use of marijuana, you almost can’t disassociate the state with weed anymore, and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra is hoping the spurred interest in weed across the state could be of benefit to them.

The CSO is planning a concert series entitled “Classically Cannabis: The High Notes Series,” which will feature ensemble performances in downtown Denver and a large scale performance at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. As opposed to other events outside the state where all drugs are strictly prohibited, at these outings sparking a blunt or taking a hit off a vaporizer is actually encouraged and promoted. Edible Events Co are organizing the events, and show-goers will have to bring their own “products” to further the fun.

“The cannabis industry obviously opens the door even further to a younger,  more diverse audience,” CSO CEO Jerome Kern explained to the The Associated Press.
