Fair goers in New York, rejoice! You won’t have to leave Mary Jane at home in order to enjoy the sights, sounds, and foods of the state fair! That’s because at the NY State Fair marijuana smoking is allowed.
2022 marks the second year the New York State Fair has allowed attendees to light up.
This bit of news comes because since the Empire State legalized adult use marijuana, cannabis smoking is allowed wherever cigarette smoking is allowed.
You will have to curtail your cannabis activity to one of six designated smoking areas, located on the fairground’s perimeter. And you will be sharing the space with tobacco smokers.
Smoking of any kind is banned in all buildings and most other areas.
No matter, this is tremendous progress over most other public events around the country and we salute the NY State Fair for this very rational bit of fairness to cannabis users.
The New York State Fair runs from Aug. 24 through Sept. 5, 2022 in Syracuse.
