Attendees called it “historic” and “cool,” and “a long time coming” — the largest event in California, and the country, to allow legal sales and consumption of cannabis.
On a misty morning Saturday in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Janna Lutz sat sheltered in a grove of Monterey pine and eucalyptus trees carving a bong from an eggplant.
“We’re saving ourselves because if we smoke right now the bong is going to look like sh--,” said the younger Lutz. “So we’re going to wait until we finish more of it.” Retailers and sponsors at Grass Lands saw the event as an opportunity for branding as much as profits. That high-end, high-concept aesthetic permeated the scene as much as the smoke. The green tea in Nug’s bars? Ceremonial grade, imported from Japan.
“Let’s be clear — this is not the first time in history that cannabis will be consumed at a music festival,” said Assemblyman David Chiu . Rodriguez said their rules went though eight rounds of revisions to “make sure the community feels heard.” But both regulators and sellers said they were worked to make the weekend a success, and by Sunday morning, Rodriguez said there had been no security or medical issues associated with the cannabis sales.
During the first six months of this year, state authorities served 19 search warrants on unlicensed sellers, “We certainly have concerns when you have that many people at an event ingesting cannabis or alcohol or anything that will cause someone impairment, particularly with people driving, said Ronald Lawrence, president of the California Police Chiefs Assn.
