Outside Lands is the first major U.S. music festival to embrace & engage cannabis culture with a lemonade stand, "flower shop", & more.

Outside Lands just announced the first-ever Grass Lands, a new section of the festival dedicated to cannabis culture. The announcement makes the three-day extravaganza in Golden Gate Park the first major American festival to embrace cannabis on site.

Grass Lands will feature a lemonade stand, a flower shop offering flower crowns, a cannabis-themed farmer's market, The Greenhouse featuring cannabis product specialists, a confectionary, and a smell wall of botanical terpenes. But before you decide to hit up this experience instead of sneaking in a few joints - no small feat given the festival's new clear backpack rule - know that actually purchasing and consuming cannabis is still technically off-limits. This experience is strictly educational and promotional. All the same, we're stoked about this step in the right post-legalization direction.

Grass Lands partners include: Highland Events, Cookies, Ona.Life, Flow Kana, CannaCraft, Kiva Confections, Lemonnade, True Terpenes, Mesh Brands, Sunday Goods, Pax Labs, Jetty Extracts, Emerald Exchange, Barbary Coast, and more.
