I'll have to keep an eye on this to see if it flys, and if it does the fed's just may get a call. :-)

Council could lift smoking ban for pot fest
Council could lift smoking ban for pot fest
The smoking ban in city parks could be lifted for the second time since it passed three years ago, as city leaders are considering allowing medical marijuana patients to light up during a festival at San Lorenzo Park at the end of the month.
"It's not like a recreational marijuana event," said Councilman Mike Rotkin, who supports the temporary lifting of the city's 3-year-old ordinance that bans smoking in parks.
"It's not a smoke-in, it's not like the 4/20 thing up on campus," Rotkin said.
That April 20 event attracts thousands of people to Porter Meadow at UC Santa Cruz each spring to celebrate the so-called 4/20 cannabis culture holiday.
Instead, the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana would like the ban lifted so its 200 members can self-medicate while they enjoy the organization's annual festival. Wammfest, a medical marijuana, hemp and music festival, is scheduled for Sept. 27.
