PHOTOS: Denver celebrates 4/20

This year, the cannabis industry has taken control of the annual 4/20 event in Denver’s Civic Center Park for the first time — organized by Euflora, a growing chain of dispensaries that started on the 16th Street Mall. For the free event that’s now called the Mile High 420 Festival, Euflora officials promised a more professionally run event. Performers included Lil Wayne, Lil Jon and the Original Wailers. Other 4/20 events took place around the city as well, including the 4/20 on the Block Party, part of World Cannabis Week, which goes through the weekend at Fox Street Compound.
