A record 58 percent of Americans now believe cannabis should be legal and regulated similarly to alcohol and tobacco. With Washington and Colorado at the forefront of the movement to end cannabis prohibition, Seattle-based Leafly is sponsoring Snoop Dogg’s Wellness Retreat concerts at the WAMU Theater in Seattle on 4/19 and at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver on 4/20.

Guests in Seattle will join Snoop (aka Snoop Lion), Wiz Khalifa and other special guests. Denver guests will join Snoop, Wiz, YG and Smoke DZA as they take over Red Rocks Theater.

In addition, online cannabis information and education resource Leafly has partnered with Snoop Dogg to launch the #MyLeaf social media contest, giving fans the chance to be Leafly’s behind-the-scenes photographer at Snoop’s Wellness Retreat. Participating in the #MyLeaf contest is easy: tag @Leafly and use #MyLeaf with a photo or video on Twitter, Instagram or Vine that showcases creative/artistic support for the cannabis movement.

Entries are accepted between now and Monday, April 14 at 11:59pm PDT. Full terms and conditions can be found http://bit.ly/snoopleaf.

“Snoop’s Wellness Retreat represents a movement that’s changing mindsets around cannabis,” according to Leafly, a leading source of information on cannabis strains and where to legally access them.

The Grand Prize Winners -– one in Denver and one in Seattle –- will receive VIP press passes to capture behind-the-scenes footage of the event for Leafly, a $500 Visa card for travel costs, and personalized strain t-shirts with their favorite strain signed by Snoop. Additional top 10 winners will each receive two Leafly strain connoisseur t-shirts.
