The Smokeout Festival is a long-time running music, and now medical marijuana, expo put on by hip hop veterans Cypress Hill. This year’s show featured artists from many different genres including: Incubus, Nas & Damien Marley, MGMT, Erykah Badu and Slightly Stoopid. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but we’ll let you be the judge.
