Calgary to allow festivals to set up tents where cannabis can be consumed
CALGARY — The City of Calgary will allow festivals to set up tents where marijuana can be consumed once it’s legalized.
The so-called cannabis festival tents will have to undergo a review and be approved by city administration.
The aim of setting up the separate pot-smoking areas is to avoid offending other festival-goers with the smell.
Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart says it’s good to err on the side of having tougher regulations, with the option of loosening them once the impact of legalization is known.
