It was known that approval, if it came, would be last minute. Now it appears that Outside Lands will be the first festival in San Francisco to offer recreational cannabis sales & use. It will also be the first large-scale festival in the U.S. to offer it.

Outside Lands has gotten the green light from San Francisco for cannabis sales at the three-day music festival that starts Friday, @meliarobin reports — now organizers and vendors are just waiting for an expected state approval:https://t.co/nmcpDtgBWq — Tech Chronicle (@techchronicle) August 8, 2019

San Francisco's Office of Cannabis is granting the first-ever temporary permit for cannabis sales & state approval is the last step before it's officially a go, but is expected to come soon, per reports.

BREAKING: A vendor source just informed me that @sfoutsidelands has been issued a recreational-use permit for cannabis on the city and state level for this weekend's fest. It marks the first large-scale music fest in U.S. to have recreational use allowed. — Mark Ortega (@MarkEOrtega) August 8, 2019

The cannabis sales & use (in a designated area) will be reserved for the festival's Grass Lands installation, which debuted last year, but you couldn't buy, or use any marijuana there. About a dozen cannabis vendors will be on hand at Grass Lands this year.

Festivalgoers will be able to purchase 7 grams of non-concentrated cannabis & 2 grams cannabis concentrates.

More info is coming soon, pending state approval.
