CALGARY, Alberta - Canada’s Calgary Stampede, known as the country’s biggest and booziest annual party, is banning the use of cannabis in the first year that legislators made the drug legal nationwide.
Cannabis consumption will not be allowed in the 230-acre Stampede Park, although alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking are permitted in certain areas, said Stampede spokeswoman Jennifer Booth. Calgary’s cannabis bylaw forbids consumption for recreational use in public places, with violations incurring fines of C$100 . The law allows public events to provide designated cannabis consumption areas, similar to beer gardens.
