We check for weapons, unauthorized vendables and alcohol at the chutes only. We are not required to nor do we confiscate marijuana. Medical Marijuana is perfectly legal in Seattle and I-75 makes simple posession the lowest of police priorities. Personal freedom is what our event is about. It is frankly, none of our buisness. Fear not, brave stoner, of front chute stashnapping.

Things you may not bring; dogs, brownies or other confections not proffesionally wrapped in numbers more than 6, alcohol, guns and knives.

Also, if you do bring the herb, don't bring more than you can reasonably smoke. Do not package it seperately. Personal use is none of our buisness. Unauthorized vending is. Do not buy or sell pot at Hempfest! That endangers the event and we are out to stop it.

Special focus will be paid to "goo balls", brownies etc. These confections can contain almost anything. Whether these are adulterated or not, the rumors are that they have contained heroin, PCP, LSD and others. Do they? There has never been any testing that suggested that this is any more than a rumor but the rumors are enough to cause us to take this very seriously. If we catch you selling brownies, you are out of the park.

We at Seattle Hempfest take the safety of the attendees very seriously. Yes, even the so-called Christians telling us we are going to hell. We disagree with the message but will defend to the death their right to say it.

One more thing, we are actually at Myrtle Edwards Park, Pier 70 on Seattle's world famous waterfront. We left Gasworks in 1994.
