It’s no secret that our society’s views on marijuana have relaxed significantly over the past decade. More than half of the 50 states currently have laws broadly legalizing marijuana in some form. Most recently, California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada all passed measures in November legalizing recreational marijuana. California’s Prop. 64 measure allows adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants in their homes.
But while the law has changed its tune about weed in California, many of the state’s large-scale music events–like Coachella–still don’t officially allow pot on their grounds–That’s where WeedMaps, the self-described “Yelp of marijuana dispensaries,” comes into play. Along with Talent Resources, the tech startup is planning a 420-friendly event just down the road from Coachella to provide festival-goers with a legal VIP weed “oasis” in the desert.

The companies have purchased a nearby compound to host the event, which sources say will play host to “two grow houses, a greenhouse, and 5 geodesic domes to test different strains from GenX, Brass Knuckle and West Coast Cure.” The TMZ exclusive also states that each of the domes pictured above will offer a different “pot experience,” including vaping, edibles, regular old toking, and basically any other method you can dream up.
