At Oaksterdam University, the first cannabis college in the United States, the day starts bright and early at 10am when the university will host an open house, complete with tours of the campus, panels with industry experts and the opportunity to purchase buds from local dispensaries. At 1pm, nearby EVB Gallery opens its door for Stories from the Underground: Reflections from the Shadows, a cannabis-centric photography exhibition with pictures that portrays some of the most notable people in the cannabis history. At 7pm the after-party starts at Eli’s Mile High Club with live music and pool on the back patio.
SF's colorful Magic Bus is offering a special cannabis tour of San Francisco to mark the occasion. Smoke, dance and watch historical videos in the van between stops at various local dispensaries.
The popular and historic San Francisco pot spot now has an official party. Local vendors will sell their homegrown flowers so you can share joints, discover new flavors and dance to DJ sets with friends. When the munchies hit, head to the appropriately named food court, Munchie Land.
Head to Dolores Park from 3pm to 1am on Friday for a slew of cannabis-fueled activities including ganja yoga and a weed panel. Peruse different strains and munchies from local vendors while you bask in the sun (hopefully).
