Burning Man- Navigating Cannabis in No-Man's Land

Burning Man may be a symbol of counterculture and freedom, but when it comes to cannabis, the reality is far from free-spirited. Despite Nevada's legalization of marijuana, federal law still reigns supreme on the festival grounds, leading to strict enforcement. Undercover police, drug dogs, and even night vision technology are employed to ensure compliance- with tickets and arrests for public use or possession of larger quantities.

Navigating the overlapping jurisdictions of state and federal law can be tricky, especially in a space where the boundaries are constantly pushed. If you're attending festivals or events like Burning Man, remember that compliance is key—even in places where the rules seem to blur.

Stay informed, stay compliant, and stay safe!
