  • Music Festivals Still Not Permitting Marijuana

    Music Festivals Still Not Permitting Marijuana

    With legalization happening in multiple states, you would assume music festivals would be on the side of legalization. Most major music festivals are still not allowing people to spark up during the festival. It only makes sense that marijuana and music festivals are a perfect combination.

    Coachella Banning Marijuana

    One festival that is pretty much spearheading this is Coachella which is held in California a state where marijuana has been legalized for recreational use. Coachella did not allow anyone to possess pot at their festival last year even with marijuana already being fully legalized in the state. The official Coachella website lists that marijuana is not allowed in the festival grounds and they do not plan on changing this rule anytime soon, you can find this in their faq section.

    I don’t know if you have ever been to California before, but weed is a huge part of the culture there. Music festivals are another place where weed is a huge part of the experience, so it would only make sense that Coachella would be on board with this to make peoples festival experience better.

    Turning a Blind Eye

    Allowing weed smoking in the festival would only make the festival giant Coachella an even bigger must for festival-goers. They have to already know countless people are already sneaking in weed to smoke while in the festival grounds.

    I am not ashamed to admit I have been known to make my own joint out of a cigarette to sneak into a festival. I have also done music festivals completely sober. There is just something about the festival vibes and marijuana that make the experience a totally different and better experience. Honestly, I feel more peaceful and joyous just thinking about it. This is why it is shocking to me that Coachella would not let festival goers bring weed into the venue. This would be a massive selling point for this festival.

    Possible Future

    I guess all we can do is hope soon enough Coachella will come around on letting people bring weed into their festival or that other states with major festivals like this legalize recreational marijuana so we have a festival that allows open consumption. Unfortunately, until then we are stuck with sneaking it in. Which let’s be honest they are not very strict on anyways.

  • Cannabition A Museum For Stoners

    Cannabition A Museum For Stoners

    Museums can be a fun activity when you are high. I personally feel nothing can make you feel the emotions of the artist more than toking up a little before viewing their exhibit. I have spent countless afternoons wandering around an art museum will high taking in every piece. One of the things I struggle with is wanting to actually experience the art with all my senses. There is finally a stoner-friendly museum just for this.

    Immersive Cannabis Art Museum

    A museum called Cannabition has opened in Las Vegas, that’s right a place known for heavy drinking and all around debauchery has just gotten a little more stoner friendly. This is the world first fully immersive cannabis museum. Cannabition takes you through the last 20 years of pot culture in a fully experiential fashion.

    The museum has everything that would make a weed museum as fun as possible. It has a Pax sponsored tree swing, a Raw rolling papers kaleidoscope, even a 24-foot bong named bongzilla. They even have a 420 lounge room for when you need a break from all the lights and sounds of Las Vegas.  Now, this museum is not just for fun though you will also learn about the weed harvesting process and what marijuana is best for different occasions. All these things make this museum a must see for any marijuana enthusiast visiting Las Vegas.

    No Tokin Up Inside, Yet!

    Obviously, I know you are wondering if you can spark up in this museum. Cannabitions website does state that Las Vegas has rules against smoking in public venues making them not able to let visitors smoke in the museum. There is a workaround for this though because obviously, no stoner wants to go to a weed museum and not be high. Weed is legal in Nevada so you can easily find a place to spark up and get plenty baked before going to the museum. Their website does state that it only takes about an hour to go through the whole museum so your high should easily last you the whole time.

    Now you have another excuse to take a trip to Las Vegas to go experience the world’s first immersive cannabis museum. I for one can’t wait for my first trip to Las Vegas, Cannabition has just been added to the list.
