Forget deep fried Twinkies and carnival rides, the new appeal of California county fairs could soon be cannabis.
California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill last month that has an option that allows cannabis at California county fairs.
According to the Sacramento Bee, the SB-94 bill has a clause that lets county fairs throughout the state allow for the sampling and sale of cannabis to people 21 years and older in designated areas.
SB-94 also allows local jurisdictions to rent campgrounds for events centered around cannabis even when fairs aren’t taking place.
Adrenna Alkhas, spokeswoman of the board, told the Sacramento Bee, “We must always look at our demographics, and keep in mind that this is a family-friendly fair.”
“Once this takes effect next year, we will give it thorough thought and see how supportive the public would be.”
