‘Burn One for Bernie’ — a 4/20-friendly presidential fundraiser
Given that Democrat Sen. Bernie Sanders is the most cannabis-friendly presidential candidate in either major party, it should come as no surprise that there is a “Burn One for Bernie 4/20 Cannabis Awareness Reggae Concert” in Oakland Wednesday night — coinciding with the 4/20 high holy day of all things cannabis.
In what may be a new synergy for a presidential fundraiser, the cover charge will be lifted for guests who donate $4.20 or more to Bernie Sanders’ campaign ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT and show us your receipt (on your phone) for entry or donate at the door!
The event will feature bands including the 7th Street Band, Sister Dyimah, Binghi Ghost and Luv Fyah, and DJs Atreau and Riddim.
Sanders’ Bay Area supporters are really embracing the 4/20 holiday as they also scheduled a voter registration drive for Wednesday on Hippie Hill in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
None of the remaining Republican candidates — Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz or Ohio Gov. John Kasich — support legalization, but all have expressed some degree of support for allowing states to form their own medicinal marijuana laws.
