Marijuana Festival at Del Mar Fairgrounds to Draw 6K
A marijuana festival, set for September at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, is estimated to draw 6,000 people to learn about cannabis through a day of exhibitions and seminars.
The Sept. 23 over-21 celebration, dubbed the Goodlife Festival, “will guide attendees to appreciate and learn more about how cannabis – when used in a safe, appreciative, legal and healthful way – can enhance a creative, spirited, relaxed (and pain-free) lifestyle,” according to a news release from organizers.

We all know that it’s called the bionic, the bomb, the puff, the blow, the black, the herb, the sensie, the chronic, the sweet Mary Jane, ganja, split, reefa, the bad, the Buddha, the home grown, the ill, the Maui-Maui, the method, pot, lethal turbo, Thai, shake, skunk, stress, whacky, weed, glaze, the boot, dime-bag, Scooby Doo, bob, bogey, back yard boogie.” Ali G then pauses and asks, “But what is (sic) the other terms for it?”
You can watch the whole five minutes or fast-forward to 4:18 where he naively guesses all the names for marijuana.

I experimented with marijuana a time or two,
and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale it, and never tried it again.”
