The city of San Francisco has granted Outside Lands a permit to let vendors sell pot at the festival — and even let attendees 21 and over consume on site (in special areas, of course)
reports. The festival was granted the city’s first temporary sales permit just days before Outside Land kicks off August 9th at Golden Gate Park.
For attendees over 21, vendors selling legal weed at Outside Lands will be located in an area aptly dubbed “Grass Lands.” While Grass Lands launched last year, it only functioned as a “curated cannabis experience,” offering visitors the chance to smell botanical terpenes and try weed-less edibles.With the temporary sales permit, however, attendees will be able to purchase up to seven grams of non-concentrated cannabis , and two grams of concentrates , across all vendors.
, “[O]ur mission is to normalize the industry, so having an activation at a major U.S. festival, and the first of its kind to allow cannabis sales and consumption — is an enormous breakthrough. It’s an awesome opportunity to display the creativity, innovation and actual production that goes into cannabis.”
Kiva Confections, another cannabis company participating in Grass Lands, sees this as a historic moment. “Allowing public consumption at Outside Lands brings the plant and its users out of the shadows and shows that cannabis can be elevated, sophisticated, and normalized,” says co-founder Kristi Knoblich Palmer. “So many people we met last year were new to both Kiva and cannabis, so we’re excited that they get to actually experience the products this year.
