COOL! I'm glad WAMM won! Those patients should be able to take their medicine when they feel it's needed. Power to the people!

The arrangement is not much different from previous years, where a tent was provided for medical marijuana patients but recreational tokers still smoked up on the lawn.

However, Sean Wharton, a WAMM patient who will double as a security guard at the festival, said he will speak with anyone this year who lights up on the grass.

"I would really like this to happen in the way it has in the past, and I will look for people smoking outside the smoking tent," Wharton
notice how 'they' involve 'you' in their hypocrisy.

Franky I would tolerate that as much as a MM patient should tolerate being told by a politician that they cannot smoke.

This was a cool event and seemed to go off without a hitch. Any others in the area attend?
