Brewery owner vents frustration over the 4/20 event going ahead without a license now that pot is legal, sardonically suggests organizing a beer protest.

Beer is legal to drink just like weed is legal to smoke. But you can’t drink beer in public without being at a sanctioned festival or at a licensed establishment, so should breweries get together and stage a beer protest?

— Ben Coli April 17, 2019Coli said of course his tweet was satirical because if he ever held such a protest “I’d have my manufacturer’s license yanked so fast.” Yet he questions why there are no repercussions for the 4/20 organizers holding a pot protest, now that recreational use is legal in Canada.

“It’s unbelievable that this is tolerated. I guess this is a transition period but it is ridiculous that’s it’s called a protest. It’s way more than that.” Park board commissioner Tricia Barker, who in February put forward a motion asking staff to find ways to keep the marijuana event out of city parks, called the latest act by the 4/20 organizers bullying.
