Oh people, this weekend is chock full of events amazing and wondrous.

Whatever you're up for, we've got the details after the jump. more ›

Break out the bongs and rolling papers, kids, it’s Hempfest time! This is like Christmastime for public drug users. There's encouragement of overindulgence, presents and even mythical figures.

Steves has gone beyond local travel guru and bespectacled PBS travel host to become an outspoken advocate against the criminalization of marijuana and the U.S.'s "War on Drugs."

What more could we ask from this event? more ›
