The annual Coachella Valley Musical Festival is set to take place this coming weekend, April 29 and 30th and some concert goers users are wondering whether they will be allowed to bring in their medication.....
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (also referred to as Coachella Fest) is an annual event held at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California, featuring musical performances by a number of artists on different stages, and a number of displays of contemporary art. The typical genres of music represented at the festival are alternative rock, rap/hip hop, and electronica. "Coachella" is a two day event. Its attendance has steadily increased from about 10––20,000 people at the first Coachella in 1999, to a sold-out 100,000 in 2004. This year’s line-up includes Madonna, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk and Tool.
At last year’s event, some concert goers, who were registered marijuana users under California’s Prop 215, were permitted to bring in their medication as long as they checked in at the medical tent. (Under Prop 215, Medical cannabis may be legally used & cultivated by qualifed patients in California provided they have a recommendation from a licensed physician ).Cal NORML (the National Organization For The Reform of Marijuana Law) estimates over 150,000 medical marijuana patients in California (2005). At least one registered user, who submitted his medication and permit to security, at last year’s concert, reported being told that marijuana was NOT allowed at the venue under any circumstances. The event coordinators have not established any strict guidelines on the issue and its anyone’s guess whether medical marijuana users will enjoy the same benefits this year....????

I thought marijuana was allowed at music festivals regardless?
Maybe in Norway.
Medicine is medicine is medicine..
I agree. If you can't watch a concert pain free, then what's the point?

Well, first of all if its medicine and they can prove they have a subscribtion/card and other information then that should be enough. As someone who regularly attends the festival I'm surprised by the post. I have seen sercurity guards look at someone smoking, or find their stash or whatever kind of event like that plenty of times. Usually the sercurity guard dismisses it and quickly moves away from them. If they were tight on drugs I think they would loose a lot of profits from users who would be turned off by that. I think the people at golden voice know that as well and keep the sercurity low on those kind of problems.
