Isn’t that like banning someone for having a beer at a country concert?

Alcohol doesn’t impact the people around you until you drink it and become a drunk asshole.

Submitting other people to unwanted 2nd hand smoke is a dick move no matter what it is.

It’s not about what the drug does it’s about how it’s consumed. If weed is legal there I bet he’d be allowed edibles.

THAT SAID ITS A FUCKING PHISH CONCERT, isn’t a bong part of the ticket?

Would he have been banned if he lit up a cigarette? Probably not.

Years of acceptance and you can’t get a contact buzz from being around drinkers. Also the scent of a beer doesn’t carry as far as weed. I agree it’s dumb if one is legal for a venue then both should be.
