Q. Can I get in trouble for attending or participating in Hempfest?
A. No. Hempfest is totally legal and protected by the United States Constitution under your right to freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. However, Hempfest is not a "free zone". All local, state and federal laws are in full effect at Hempfest, and Seattle parks are designated "Drug Free Zones" increasing penalties for selling and buying controlled substances. Hempfest is the worst place to attempt to buy or sell illegal substances of any kind. Please don't do it. That includes unauthorized food products like brownies or "goo-balls."
