Legalization in Washington affects not only the cannabis-friendly community within the state, but also events that take place there. In question is the upcoming US Open, one of the most highly anticipated golf championship tournaments held in Chambers Bay this year. One curious author at SB Nation wanted to look out for his readers and find out if cannabis would be allowed at the event, since, you know, it’s legal and all.
The answer is yes — attendees with marijuana will be allowed in with it. This is something that volunteers at the gate have been specifically instructed to do, so you’ll be fine with your green on the green. However, it is not recommended to try sparking up there. It is still illegal to consume cannabis in public in Washington, so while you may have it on you, it would be wise to do nothing with it at the US Open this year.
