They have to say that. I did 420 in Austin years ago and they said they had a bag policy, but security never actually searched (just glanced) in bags and cops around suddenly went blind to pot. It's almost like they don't really care if you have permits and are making the right people money. Shit, now with THC-A etc. being legal here (corpo boondoggle it is) nobody can tell what you're smoking anyway.

It's the same thing with big music fests. Yeah, "no drugs allowed" wink wink, nudge nudge.

big music fest security is chill because it's just random volunteers doing it for a free pass but inside is completely different

undercovers trying to sell/buy drugs to arrest you and police watching the crowd as they enter so fools who instantly do their drugs at the entrance instead of waiting a bit deeper inside get picked up

I feel it would be a bit different since I'm in the panhandle. But like one of the venues I go to lately doesn't give a shit if you smoke as long as it's out of sight out of mind or whatever. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they were a bit lax on it.
