Seattle Hempfest 2019 - Review
Tom & Miggy – Seattle Hempfest
Seattle Hempfest’s 28th year was held on August 16, 17, and 18 of 2019 at Myrtle Park on Puget Sound and Cannabis Legalization News was there to report on various things!
“Seattle Hempfest” means the original cannabis legalization rally dating back to 1991 – before medical marijuana, which as in its 28th year blossomed into a place to showcase the industry trends, celebrate cannabis culture, and fight for cannabis rights and to free the prisoners in Jail. Tom & Miggy met for the first time at Seattle Hempfest 2019 and helped raise money for cannabis prisoners stuck in prison while other people are getting rich selling cannabis and glass.
Hempfest Raises Money for Cannabis Prisoners
Seattle Hempfest 2019 – Prisoners Volunteers
Seattle Hempfest’s 28th year was held on August 16, 17, and 18 of 2019 at Myrtle Park on Puget Sound and Cannabis Legalization News was there to report on various things!
“Eddie Lepp” is a famous cannabis prisoner that served almost nine years for not ratting out people. That’s how the government does, they lean on people to give up others and get deals – all for a plant. Eddie Lepp raised money for the victims for Stephanie Landa’s charity Freedom Grow that helps fund cannabis prisoner’s commissary funds so they can buy the stuff we take for granted everyday. Just another great day at Seattle Hempfest 2019!!
