WAMMfest to be Marijuana-Free

[Jim Finnel]

This year’s WAMMfest will be absolutely smoke-free, despite efforts by organizers to set up tents for medical marijuana users. The problem is not drug use itself. That has not been a problem in years for the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana. Rather, it is the new anti-smoking laws passed by the city just a few weeks ago. The new ordinances prohibit smoking in all public parks. Though the event organizers wrote a letter to the city, asking that two special tents be set up so that people needing marijuana for medical conditions could slip away for a smoke, they failed to address it to any particular council member, so that their request never made it to City Hall’s agenda.

Because the ban does not go into full effect for another two weeks, smokers could smoke on the sidewalk outside the park. The police however have stated that anyone violating no-smoking rules will be issued a citation if they see the park’s own no-smoking rules broken.

Coincedence or was the timing of this ban planned to put a damper on festivities? If they can't smoke in the park. May I suggest vapor tents. Where patrons can vaporize without breaking the smoking law. A small act of resistance for change. Just a thought.

What irony.
Excellent idea BWC. No smoke involved.

Cheers

Either Vapes or cookies for all. Who can resist cookies?

It's the spirit that counts.

Diabetics

i'm a diabetic and i can't always resist cookies

 

[BWC BayArea]

Maybe I should rephrase that. Diabetics would be more likely to decline the offer. LOL.

 

[Tead]

Hehe... My sweeties a diabetic... she generally avoids sugar, but isn't shy if something catches her eye.

Cheers!

when it comes to Cannabis cookies resistance is futile
:focus:

LOL.

when it comes to Cannabis cookies resistance is futile

Ahh yes. Borg cannabis cookies

I think cookies or any edibles would be a cool idea except that dosage is a problem if ur eating some1 else's recipe. The cops may have a prob removing some (overly medicated) passed out festival goers from the park.
