Denver\u2019s drag scene<\/a> is alive and thriving, particularly during Pride Month. While some drag queens travel in from far and wide for performances, others grew up here and continue to contribute to the Colorado culture throughout adulthood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One such queen is the iconic local drag performer <\/span>Jessica L\u2019Whor<\/span><\/a>. After spending more than a decade in the scene, she\u2019s a staple of Denver\u2019s culture and can be found performing drag bingo, trivia, podcasts, shows, and more on a nightly basis. Her accolades include wins as \u201cBest New Queen on the Scene\u201d and \u201cColorado\u2019s Drag Entertainer of the Year,\u201d and her brand, which also consists of the PG version of her persona \u201cMiss Jessica,\u201d has become a powerhouse of inclusivity, body positivity, and LGBTQ+ representation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her reach doesn\u2019t stop there, though \u2013 Jessica L\u2019Whor is also a cannabis enthusiast who strives to promote safe, responsible, and educated use in her drag, even incorporating weed-themed outfits and partnerships into her work regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate Pride Month, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down with Jessica and learn about her drag persona, cannabis background, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jessica<\/p>\n

Emily Mullins (EM): Tell us a bit about yourself and your background as a drag queen. How did you get into performing and the drag space?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Jessica L\u2019Whor (JL): <\/b>I\u2019ve been in the game for 11 years, so [let\u2019s] go back \u2013 I was a very closeted and confused queer child. I didn\u2019t really know what I wanted to be or how I wanted to act or how I wanted to identify, but drag was really interesting because when I first saw it on TV, I got disgusted by it. I called it \u201cgross\u201d and asked my friends to turn it off, and a lot of that was internalized [fear] of being different. I started getting into drag when I had a boyfriend bring me to a show, and I fell in love with this queen \u2013 she did a ballad, and I was mind blown. \u201cI want to do that!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We went to Walmart afterward and I got a bra and some makeup. [My boyfriend] had an extra wig, and I put it on my face, did my makeup to the best of my ability, and we both looked at each other. \u201cYou are an ugly woman,\u201d he said, \u201cYou should never do drag again.\u201d And I was like, \u201cDamn, I actually kind of liked this transformation!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I was closeted, I would do drag in my dorm room, or I would leave my parent’s house with my drag in my car, do my makeup in my car, go into the club, and then take it all off and go back into the house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I went to Colorado State University, and they have a university drag show. It\u2019s one of the most accepting environments that any drag artist could be involved in for the first time. My first show was on that stage \u2013 because of that show, a local queen said, \u201cHey, why don\u2019t you come do a show in town? We\u2019ll pay you to do it.\u201d I went and was terrified, but that turned from one show to once a month to once a week to a couple times a week to now a full-time experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jessica<\/p>\n

EM: I love that! Can you also give us a look at your history with cannabis? Did you start using it before you got into drag, or is it intertwined?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>It really does intertwine in the sense that I looked at weed very negatively. A lot of it was not understanding it and not understanding the positive effects of it or why people would do it. I didn\u2019t want anything to do with it, but then I got to a place of being okay if other people wanted to do it, but I didn\u2019t want to partake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember the first time I smoked weed. They didn\u2019t tell me I was smoking weed \u2013 they told me it was just hookah. I didn\u2019t know what that feeling was, and it was just wild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Significantly later, I was around a lot of drag queens that smoke weed \u2013 cannabis queens. I tried some edibles and found out I really enjoyed the effects of it. I found motivated, creative people who were able to functionally live their life and accomplish things while also smoking, and my perception changed entirely after I met more people who were driven and able to function. It helped with their anxiety or calmed them down. That\u2019s what encouraged me, and [weed] helped me in the same ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EM: At what point did you start integrating weed more into your drag persona?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>That was probably COVID. I used to smoke weed, but I wouldn\u2019t tell people \u2013 there was still a little bit of residual shame. But in 2020, when everybody was dealing with their own things, I was more vocal online. I would take videos on my story of me smoking weed, and I let everybody know. It\u2019s my life and I can do what I want. If I\u2019m able to accomplish everything that I am, why do you care what I do with my body?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jessica<\/p>\n

EM: So you say that you used to view weed and drag in the same way \u2013 you looked at it with disgust. What would you say to someone who still has those views today?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>You know, I\u2019m never going to pressure anybody to do anything they don\u2019t want to do. If it\u2019s not for you, you\u2019ll find out it\u2019s not for you very quickly. You can disagree with something and that\u2019s completely fine, but going to the extreme of calling something or someone disgusting \u2013 I don\u2019t think that\u2019s appropriate. Leave your mind open to what makes sense for people, what works for people, what makes people happy, how people want to function. Let them live their lives just the same way that you want people to let you live your own life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But also, I think opening yourself up to trying it with some people you feel safe trying it with \u2013 it might change your mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EM: I love that answer. You never know; you liked it! But moving on \u2013 how has weed influenced your creativity as a drag queen?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>It\u2019s been both negative and positive, and I\u2019ll be honest about both. On the negative side, I\u2019m a workaholic \u2013 I had to find certain times throughout the day that I could not smoke weed if I wanted to be productive and be on my A-game. On the other end, it would help me be inspired when I would watch TV shows or scroll on TikTok. I would be like, \u201cWow, I want to make a number to this.\u201d I got really creative. In 2023, I saved every joint tube that I had \u2013 and I was smoking like 15 a week \u2013 and I want to make a fringe outfit out of the joint tubes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EM: I need to see that joint outfit! That sounds amazing.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>It will be! I have all the tubes. I need more though \u2013 surprisingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EM: Have you ever participated in any cannabis-themed drag events or dressed up in a way to promote weed?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>I have a couple of weed-inspired outfits. I have a replicated Miley Cyrus outfit. I do a 4\/20 classic \u201cbeach bum stoner\u201d number where I smoke out of a penis bong, get the munchies, and ask people for money so I can go buy weed. I have a nurse weed outfit. I have a huge weed plant monster outfit, it\u2019s kind of Bratz doll-y. Not every number calls for it, but if it makes sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jessica<\/p>\n

EM: I know you\u2019ve been doing this for years now, but did you ever use weed to deal with pre-show anxiety?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>Oh yeah. There\u2019s a roller coaster weed would take me on \u2013 and I\u2019m not the only performer who talks about this \u2013 where you\u2019d go get really high, and you\u2019d almost go through a sense of anxiousness. I\u2019m about to perform, they\u2019re about to call my name, I feel sick in the stomach \u2013 what do I do with this energy? And then they call your name, and you go out and give the best performance of your life. You get offstage, and it\u2019s like, \u201cI SLAYED that!\u201d A lot of that is that extra energy; it\u2019s really wild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EM: Have you ever used cannabis for its medicinal benefits?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>I\u2019ve never been like, diagnosed in a sense that it would medically help me \u2013 I\u2019ve just made observations about my own situation. I have pretty heavy anxiety and the inability to shut my mind off. Even when I\u2019m physically and mentally and emotionally drained, I can\u2019t get my mind to shut off and calm down. Weed would help me just relax for a little bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it would really be my end of the weekend reward, because I\u2019m exuding so much energy for so many other people throughout the week. I\u2019m giving so much of myself to everybody else, and [weed] would allow me to just sit and almost be numb for a little bit. Not in a bad way, but it let me shut off for an hour or two. It helped me sleep better and recharge faster to go do the next show. It really does change me specifically and help me so much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jessica<\/p>\n

EM: Have you noticed any changes in how the queer community uses or perceives cannabis over the years?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>I think people are more on board. More people are switching from feeling the need to drink or consume alcohol to smoking pot. I know so many people who said they\u2019d never smoke who smoke every day now. I wish there were more weed-safe spaces than alcohol spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EM: That makes sense. A lot of safe spaces for queer people over the decades have historically been bars, so it\u2019s nice that there\u2019s now more options.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

What are some of your favorite stories from performing as a drag queen? Bonus points if any of them involve cannabis.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>Usually when you smoke weed at a show during a number, it has to be a prop. But at the Marijuana Mansion, you can smoke indoors. I got to do their first drag show ever, and I got to do my Miley Cyrus number and smoke the entire bowl, which was really cool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love joints, but I cannot roll them to save my life. And I went to a 4\/20 event where everyone got oregano and rolling papers, and we had to roll a joint. Obviously, I\u2019m terrible at this, so I pulled a joint out of my bag and just said I rolled it. Everybody praised me because it was the best joint ever, and then they realized that it was not oregano \u2013 it was just weed. So they caught me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was one time I was really really high at a show, and I was really tired \u2013 it was the end of the weekend. And I went around feeding people \u2013 I love feeding people in general, but when I\u2019m high, I want to like, feed the world. Like the body of Christ. So I went around and kept body-of-Christing people with chips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jessica<\/p>\n

EM: I love the joint story, that\u2019s hilarious. So, [to finish], do you have any advice for young drag queens or queer cannabis enthusiasts?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JL: <\/b>In terms of drag, I would say if you\u2019ve ever considered doing drag, you should just do it. If you\u2019re like, \u201cWell, I want to be perfect,\u201d you\u2019re wasting time. Stop thinking about doing it and just do it \u2013 grab some makeup, grab a bra from Walmart, a wig, have someone tell you you\u2019re ugly, and keep doing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For young cannabis users, I would say that it\u2019s a personal journey. Just as much as you should not shame somebody for enjoying weed all the time, no one should be shamed for not enjoying it whatsoever. If it is meant to be part of your life, be open-minded to it. If it\u2019s not for you, it doesn\u2019t have to be for you. Peer pressure is not fun in any way, shape, or form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, it may change your life and your world for the better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
