The ninth annual WAMMFEST comes at an interesting time politically this year. In addition to celebrating the merits of medicinal pot, the Saturday, Oct. 22 event hosted by the state’s first medical marijuana collective, the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana, will also be a forum for those who support medical marijuana to speak against the recent federal plan to close California cannabis clubs. WAMMFEST began after the organization was raided by the DEA in 2002. The 2011 installment will be held at San Lorenzo Park from noon to 5 p.m. on Oct. 22 and will feature live music, local food, art, crafts, and more.
