Festival organizers announced on Thursday that the return of their “Grass Lands” activation within the festival dedicated to the celebration, education, and integration of cannabis products into daily life, will offer cannabis products for sale and consumption solely within the designated areas. The announcement shared via press release also states the Grass Lands footprint of the event has expanded its offering this year to include more than 24 of the country’s leading cannabis partners.
Grass Lands will also feature “The Greenhouse” where festival attendees can learn about the multifaceted nature of how cannabis helps one rise, refresh, and rest from the emotional stresses of everyday life. Additionally, “The Farmhouse” will also welcome attendees to experience True California Cannabis with terpene tastings.
