“Cannabis is part of our culture — particularly at music festivals — and it makes sense to allow people to obtain it legally,” Wiener said. “We need to move past prohibition, which doesn’t work.” “Smoking of any kind is not allowed, for good reason, in any San Francisco park. Making an exception here for today’s ultra-potent marijuana would be a terrible precedent and giant step backwards for public health,” said Sabet, who opposed Proposition 64.legalized the sale and use of cannabis for recreational purposes and led to the creation of the state bureau that licenses retailers and events.
The state bureau has allowed cannabis consumption at 16 other events, but many were much smaller fairs that drew tens of thousands of attendees and focused on cannabis industry vendors, officials said.
