    Isn’t that like banning someone for having a beer at a country concert?

        Alcohol doesn’t impact the people around you until you drink it and become a drunk asshole.

        Submitting other people to unwanted 2nd hand smoke is a dick move no matter what it is.

        It’s not about what the drug does it’s about how it’s consumed. If weed is legal there I bet he’d be allowed edibles.

        THAT SAID ITS A FUCKING PHISH CONCERT, isn’t a bong part of the ticket?

          Would he have been banned if he lit up a cigarette? Probably not.

            i hope but that’s not what happened so who knows

            That said cannabis IS legal in Nevada but possession and use in public is still a misdemeanor so 🤷

        Years of acceptance and you can’t get a contact buzz from being around drinkers. Also the scent of a beer doesn’t carry as far as weed. I agree it’s dumb if one is legal for a venue then both should be.

    He did it back in April…

    If someone complained about second hand smoke or whatever, ok fair enough.

    But to ban someone months after the fact, meaning nobody who was at the event complained, is BS

      He tricked security into thinking it was an xbox controller.
