Tickets had been on sale for about six weeks, but before Cannabis Cup California could set a music lineup or secure a permit, the half-music festival, half-smoke session has been either postponed or canceled.
It’s not clear yet whether anyone will get a refund.
The marijuana exhibition, originally set for Oct. 27-28 at Cal Expo and sponsored by High Times Magazine, has been scrapped for 2018, Sacramento Chief of Cannabis Policy Joe Devlin told The Bee on Tuesday.
The sudden absence of Cannabis Cup California on High Times’ official website seems to confirm the cancellation of October’s show.
“We have not taken that item before (city) council as of yet,” Devlin said. “I believe we’re going to be taking it sometime before the end of the year.”
The item in question is a permit for cannabis use on-site, a requirement for the legal consumption and sale of marijuana at such an event. The approval of a permit was pulled off the City Council’s law and legislation committee agenda for a Sept. 18 meeting.
The City Council committee won’t meet again until Oct. 23, just four days before the concert had been planned. Devlin said matters relating to Cannabis Cup won’t be on that agenda either.
