World Cannabis Week 2017: Events, Full Schedule And What To Do For Weed Week

The countdown to 420 has officially begun. The April 20 "holiday" devoted to cannabis has spawned a week's worth of events, shows and promotional tours, especially now that almost 30 states in the U.S. have legalized the drug and with the market ripe with opportunity.

California, Colorado, Oregon and Nevada will all be hosting their own cannabis-theme parties and concerts. One of the largest go-to events for all things Weed Week-related will no doubt be the Denver-based World Cannabis Week 2017, which officially kicks off Wednesday and runs through Sunday.

What began as a series of cannabis events taking place around Denver eventually evolved into a full-blown week of events, tours and business opportunities. It’s even been dubbed as the “SXSW of Cannabis.” The organization has posted a full list of can’t-miss events in Colorado on its main site.
