Beers barge in on Tri-Cities Wine Festival

They should allow cannabis in the festival as well. Cannabis is a FAR safer alternative to beer and wine and can be used for relaxing and socializing just like alcohol. Cannabis has repeatedly been proven to NOT cause cancer, heart disease, brain damage, liver disease, emphysema, or any other significant health issue, and its addiction potential is about on par with coffee. You can't say that about beer and wine!!

We could GREATLY reduce the amount of harm and addiction in society by giving people the right to switch from the more harmful drug, alcohol, to the less harmful drug, cannabis. Paranoid old men in the federal government are keeping cannabis illegal and making our children LESS safe.
