Well Colorado, you've done it again.
[quote]The Colorado Symphony Orchestra will host a series of bring-your-own-marijuana concerts across the state. The new initiative aims to break classical music’s conservative stereotype and attract a younger, more diverse audience.
In a break from tradition, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra (CSO) is set to host a group of concerts with a twist. With regard to dress code and music, the concerts will not deviate from their classical roots, the only difference is audience members will be encouraged to bring along a stash of pot.
The group of concerts, aptly named “Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series,” has been billed as a fundraiser for the Symphony Orchestra.
"We see ourselves as connecting classical music with all of Colorado," said CSO Director Jerry Kern to the Denver Post. "Part of our goal is to bring in a younger audience and a more diverse audience, and I would suggest that the patrons of the cannabis industry are both younger and more diverse than the patrons of the symphony orchestra."[/quote]
I don't see how this will get people into classical music. How am I supposed to like the music if I can't remember it from all the weed I'd be smoking?
