18 h. ago Toronto's weed fair is back next month but last year's drama lingers

Toronto's KIND Summer Fair is returning to the city from August 12 to 13, 2025 — but not everyone is lighting up with excitement.While the annual cannabis celebration promises "immersive brand experiences," live music, and networking opportunities, many Toronto weed lovers haven't forgotten how last year's fair left a bad taste in their mouths — and not the kind that edibles are supposed to deliver.For a festival that claims to be Canada's leading cannabis event, 2024's winter edition left many attendees feeling burnt out, ripped off, and ignored. "If I wanted to be in a mosh pit, I would've went to a metal concert like I did earlier in the month, not at a cannabis event," said one frustrated attendee after last year’s fair."They need to issue some sort of statement and, if they don't, it says a LOT." Complaints ranged from overcrowding and poor organization to bad vibes from st...
