SFGate - Pot smoking legal for thousands at Cow Palace

[bridgit]

(04-18) 19:15 PDT DALY CITY -- People have been toking up in the Cow Palace parking lot for more than 50 years.

This was the first time it was legal.

The International Cannabis and Hemp Expo, the first trade show in the United States to allow on-site pot smoking, attracted an estimated 15,000 enthusiasts to Daly City over the weekend. They talked bud, sold products ranging from a $500 water bong to a $19,500 mobile grow house, and discussed how efforts to legalize marijuana would impact their livelihoods.

1. Wow!

And the Maryland state senate just voted overwhelmingly to allow medical marijuana dispensaries (the legislature legalized medical marijuana years ago)

2. Karel made the point on his show yesterday that 5 baggers can get together and...

there'll be cameras all over the place. But 15,000 people get together for a weekend of authorized cannibus intake in SF's Cow Palace and there's no story no where and I agree with Karel http://radiokrl.com/wp/?p=383 The nation is unable to focus on matters of civil concern maybe not so unlike the response here at DU I suppose
