is not an anti marijuana motion, said commissioner John Coupar, who put forward the motion to deny permits for pot related events at park board properties.
The board is concerned allowing permits for the event would set a precedent and encourage other smoking events at parks and beaches.
Smoking goes against the park board bylaws and its mandate of promoting health, and allowing the permit for a marijuana protest that also widely considered a commercial event with vendors selling marijuana and edibles could harm the park board reputation as it could be seen as condoning the sale and consumption of an illegal product, said a staff report.
very concerned we, as commissioners, could actually suspend our own bylaws for one group for one event, said Coupar, who expressed skepticism organizers could regulate the event properly as well as prevent access of marijuana by minors.
The 4/20 rallies have been held outside the Vancouver Art Gallery since 1995 until last year, when the city put up fences around the plaza, forcing organizer to move to Sunset Beach park a move that essentially the event to the park board, said Coupar.
Last year's rally drew an estimated 25,000 to the beach and came with a price tag of $148,000, including policing costs of about $100,000.

It recommended the board grant a special permit for this year event, while staff continue to work to find an alternate location in the future. A permit would allow organizers to obtain insurance coverage, allow the park board to bill organizers for some event expenses, which this year is estimated at $155,000, and provide better control and compliance over the event, said the report.
Park board staff had previously offered two other alternate sites for the 4/20 event. The Cavalia site in southeast False Creek near the Olympic Village was rejected by organizers, while a second site, van cleef and arpels fake alhambra bracelet the PNE, was met with interest but rejected by PNE management, at least for 2017.
a bad decision, said Larsen, adding that the fact the park board banned 4/20 from all its parks show about prejudice against the cannabis community and users instead of trying to protect Sunset Beach. said his group had applied for a permit in July and was willing to work with the park board to put together a safe and compliant event. He said the society would have been able to pay $40,000 this year to help cover event costs had a permit been granted.
