The sixth and latest incarnation of the hugely successful Kushstock Festival descended upon the Adelanto Stadium on Saturday, October 14 with a bevy of cannabis products, accessories, and live entertainment for the eager crowds. The event was previously held at the NOS Events Center in San Bernadino.
A row of tables with busy glass blowers sat just inside Kushstock’s front gates, giving way to the sprawling grid of cannabis vendors beyond.
The awaiting booths offered patrons the familiar wide variety of cannabis products including flowers, oils, topicals, edibles, cartridges, syrups, clothing and clones.
While several vendors sold glass pipes, bongs and dabs rigs at their tables, a vendor by the name of Token Tips carried an assortment of hand-crafted, marijuana-based accessories that included various dabbing tools and dab rigs made from cannabis stems.
In one corner of the vendor area next to the Roll Up Show stage stood a wrestling ring where amateur wrestlers smacked, slapped, tossed, and slammed each other in matches throughout the day.
In addition to the number of security guards that checked bags and patrolled the event, several local sheriff deputies were on-hand as well to help ensure a safe time for everyone during the day’s festivities.
While performers played nonstop sets from the hip-hop and reggae stages in the main vendor area, acts like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Kottonmouth Kings, Compton Menace and others entertained crowds throughout the day and evening from the Kushstock main stage which was set up in the stadium’s outfield area.
Just to the left of the main stage, among the other vendors that lined the perimeter of the field, San Diego event Ganja Galaxy hosted a mini-sesh within Kushstock, complete with vendors usually found at the local event like Tasty High Creations, PB&J’s, and Seedless.
According to the festival’s founder and organizer Dr. K, twenty-five to thirty-thousand people, including vendors, attended the day’s festivities.
“Not our largest but great for a new venue and Adelanto,” said Dr. K in an email. “We are really trying to take a city like theirs, 3 million in debt and turn that around. They said Kushstock has already made a huge positive impact on the city.”
Adelanto has proven itself to be one of the more cannabis-friendly California cities since the state legalized marijuana by allowing dispensaries and actively licensing cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, testing, and adult-use businesses.
The time and location for the next Kushstock festival has yet to be announced.
