Coachella continues marijuana ban despite new California law

Coachella concert goers should use utmost discretion if they plan to light up a blunt during Queen Bey’s performance.

The major music festival decided to ban marijuana use on their grounds during this year’s incarnation despite the fact that California has legalized recreational use for adults, reports Billboard.

Following the announcement of the 2018 lineup last week, the official Coachella website released an FAQ section addressing this year’s rules on legal pot use:

“Sorry bro. Marijuana or marijuana products aren’t allowed inside the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Even in 2018 and beyond. If that changes we will update this answer.”

For any festival goer looking to score some legal buds before the big party, neighboring cities such as Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Desert Hot Springs are ready for your 420-friendly needs.
