Delgado waited for more than an hour at the stand that offers the best prices, at $180 per ounce, instead of $300 as charged in a regular dispensary.

‘De-demonizing’ cannabis –
“It’s like in a regular farmer’s market” said Adam Agathakis, one of the organizers of the weekend fair set to end Sunday.
“People come here to talk to growers, to check that it’s grown without pesticides and that it doesn’t have mold.”
The bearded 35-year-old, in pleated pants and a striped shirt, has campaigned to “de-demonize” cannabis since his father died of cancer a decade ago.
When he was dying, marijuana was the only thing alleviating the pain,” Agathakis said.
