The inaugural installment of Cannabis Country Fair will take place at Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville, California July 21 – 23. Organizer Tim Blake, a pioneer in the organic cannabis industry and founder/producer of The Emerald Cup, has revealed the initial musical lineup for the first-ever Cannabis Country Fair.
Thievery Corporation and Portugal. The Man are a top the bill on a lineup that also includes Beats Antique, White Denim, Allen Stone, Anders Osborne, Lyrics Born and more. Check out the full, initial musical lineup below. A number of prominent figures in the cannabis industry such as Co-Founder and Director of Project CBD Martin Lee, Northern California criminal defense lawyer and co-founder of the Cannabis Law Institute Omar Figueroa and Newcleus Nurseries founder Jesse Dodd will be among the speakers at the event.
Tim Blake explained the concept behind Cannabis Country Fair, “It’s a summer event, complete with sunshine, that irreplaceable summertime vibe, and the fun that comes along with this time of year. It’s about being around the cannabis tribe, taking in and partaking in all their creations, great music, dancing, enjoying snow cones, watermelon, and the rest of the summer season’s organic farm-to-table delights that we’re so fortunate to have in Northern California. It’s about staying educated on the cannabis industry and including wellness in our day-to-day lives – from farming practices, healthcare and medicinal practices, healthy living and more.”
In addition to the speakers and musical acts, Cannabis Country Fair will host a Cannabis Market, festival cuisine, activities you’d find at a regular country fair, wellness features, a cannabis competition, camping and more. Tickets go on sale starting on Friday, May 19 at 10 a.m. PT via the festival’s website. Attendees must be 18 or older and hold a valid California Medical Marijuana Card.

How does one go about getting a medical card for this event? I want to go!
The best way to start going about getting one is visiting a local dispensary and asking questions. It is the safest way to start…but it is a MEDICAL card. If there isn’t a real reason for you to need it then you may not get it.
BEATS ANTIQUE FOR THE FUCKING WIN!
This sounds like a great time! Organic foods and all the other fair goings!
There better be funnel cake……
Yeah will there be funnel cake? Hotdogs? Fried Twinkies? I mean I get is is ‘organic farm to table goodness’ but I want the fatty foods too!
Will we be able to consume on the premises? Or just buy things?
I’m guessing since you have to have a valid medical card you will be able to consume. I’m sure it is going to be a closed off area….just brings up the questions….do we need to come in with a for-sure DD or is everyone going to be free to go afterwards? Are there going to be cops lined up outside to give us all DUIs?
These are the questions we should be asking! I don’t want to go and have a shit ton of fun only to get my car impounded and get sent off to jail.
Stoners dancing…more like everyone sitting around eating their food trying to figure out what the hell the song is about!
So what if we are not there to consume, but to learn and to be a DD for a friend? I can’t stick around cause I don’t have a medical card? How is that fair? I don’t consume for personal reasons but if my friends want to go I should be able to be there to! I’m not going to drive to N. California only to have to sit outside for 12 hours and have no fun at all.
They specifically say you need a medical card. It is so everyone is LEGALLY able to consume if they choose to.
Watch….one person will ruin it for everyone this year because they ‘don’t consume’.
you don,t need no reefer, Jesus is sufficient, yeah He is, my, my, my., yes God made everything BUT there are proper ways of usage, don,t let the devil make you think otherwise ; at your earliest convenience read ( Proverbs 14;12). enjoy your day , and let,s make wise decisions.
If your god didn’t want us consuming cannabis….why does it grow naturally?
I’m actually getting really excited about this event! The music looks like it is going to be great, fresh fruits and veggies from the local area, AND we get to gain more knowledge about the industry. Call me a nerd but I am excited to learn more.
Pissed I won’t be able to make this event! #hashtag the shit out of it on instagram I want to see everything that was there!
There should be more events like this going on all over the country1
