"It's a beautiful thing, man," said 17-year-old Brad Taylor, who said he was attending Seattle Hempfest with his friends for the first time. "No one's hassling us, everyone here is totally into this stuff."
So, apparently most of the people at Hempfest this year were inarticulate high school students.
How long did it take you to find your interviewee, PI? Five seconds? What about Rick Steves's fight to make marijuana legal? What about the fight for decriminalization?
No, no, according the PI, Hempfest is all about selling bongs:
"I mean, don't you think we'd sell a lot of stuff at a festival like this?" McClatchy asked. "Hell yeah we are!"
Because, you know, you can't buy your bongs anywhere else, at any other time, in Seattle.
You'd think a citywide paper could use Hempfest as a springing off point to talk about the huge amount of money our country wastes cracking down on pot smokers. Oh, right.
