Electric Daisy Carnival and the marijuana industry go hand-in-hand, according to a new report.

Bob Groesbeck, co-CEO of Planet 13 said business was booming when EDC took over Las Vegas this year. In fact, EDC weekend has become the greatest weekend all year for the city’s marijuana industry.

“We are trying to get a feel of the various events that have come through town and lean more heavily toward cannabis vs. other venues,” Groesbeck said, “and EDC just blew the doors off.”

According to the Reno GazetteJournal, EDC brought in 465,000 music fans over three days this year. Many of those individuals apparently enjoy smoking weed.

“We had huge, huge numbers across the board and we were very pleased with that. We can’t wait to have them back.”

The best part? Groesbeck had nothing but great things to say about the EDC crowd.

“I have to say, that as a group, they were very well behaved. No issues whatsoever. Just a real fun loving crowd.”

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
