Las Vegas already has annual festivals celebrating everything from Electronic Dance Music (EDM) to Elvis. Now a local business wants to add marijuana to that list. Dr. Reefer, a Henderson based group that provides medical marijuana information and recommendations, announced the first annual Las Vegas HempFest will take place October 4, 2014 at the Clark County Amphitheater. Styled after Seattle's own HempFest, organizers tout the festival as a gathering of the medical marijuana activists and supporters in the movement to legalize marijuana. The festival, billed as an all ages event, will feature a number of musical and comedy acts. Speakers include a number of marijuana legalization activists as well as Nevada gubernatorial candidate David Vanderbeek and Assembly District 13 candidate Christine Kramar. - Las Vegas Sun
