San Francisco, CA - Pot, weed, bud, herb, hemp, ganja and grass;
whatever you choose to call it, the cannabis plant has permeated
the fabric of American culture and counterculture, with the San
Francisco Bay area a hot-bed for continued activism and debate.
The Wonders of Cannabis Festival returns for the 4th year to the
Hall of Flowers in the Botanical gardens in Golden Gate Park.
The event showcase will feature live music, comedy, speakers,
forums, and vendors. The enlightening two-day event is meant
to educate and celebrate this versatile plant and the dynamic
culture that has surrounded it for over five thousand years, and
will touch on important topics such as user rights, medical
marijuana, the many uses and advances in research.

The festival will feature a celebration of the craftsmanship and
artistry alive within the culture. Each day will feature the
popular Rolling Contests with prizes for the fastest, longest,
fattest, and best one-handed joints.
"Cannabis is a helpful herb used by millions of people," says Ed
Rosenthal, activist and founder of the event. "We want to
educate the public about the truth gained through legitimate
research." In order to playfully, yet pointedly, draw attention
to the magical qualities of the herb, Ed will appear at the event
in full Captain's Uniform with cannabis elements to add flare.
Capt. Ganja!
