My friends and I got the idea for a Stoner Movie Festival near the end of the COVID quarantine, at the time we had been cooped up for a while with no social interaction, and we want to welcome society back with a bang! Late one night, while actually stoned and a little drunk, we started kicking around ideas for a film festival that would only show films about cannabis, it would be held outdoors, so that most people present could smoke medical cannabis as they enjoyed the films without violating any indoor smoking laws.
All of us set up a digital projector in the yard, with a importantwhite screen tied up between many palm trees, then set up a table for all the weird kinds of medical cannabis we would have. It was advertised as a “BYOMC” or “bring your own medical cannabis” . We wanted to have some extra supplies on hand. In a stroke of luck, the owner of the local cannabis dispensary gave us a box of free samples to hand out, along with fliers for the business, and this was perfect, because we ended up with a whole punchbowl filled with many cannabis gummies and edibles. We had almost a hundred people show up, and we all sat on blankets on the grass, smoking medical cannabis, eating gummies, and enjoying some amazing films. All of us were out on the grass until after 2am before the last visitors went home, plus at that point both of us had eaten all the cannabis gummies and smoked all the weed. I’d call it a rousing success.
