Hey guys,

Going to the forum this Friday, was wondering if it was low key to get down on the 420 there during the show/ has anyone had any problems with security?

Been to 5 shows and only smelled it in the stands once. But I DID smell it in the bathroom pretty damn consistently. I'm pretty sure you won't have a problem toking in the stalls.

Smelled it at almost every show I've been to, the only problem I personally witness was at one of the aftershows before P got on stage. P's assistant personally escorted a couple out of the club...not smart in such tight quarters and so close to P.

Otherwise you should be fine as long as the others around you like the 420 as well

I was thinking of trying for some edibles lol

Be considerate of those around you who may not appreciate you doing your thing in an environment that prohibits it and do it elsewhere, please.. There are children there as well...outside in the parking lot, in your own car, that's your business. The moment it affects me it becomes mine and that's not cool. To answer your question, security will clamp down hard upon you, ie escort you out of the arena, if you are pointed out and/or caught by them.

I have smelled it strongly all the three times I have been there, some guy sitting in the next section over from me, was smoking like it and no one around him said a word, security never came and said anything to him. My question is why? do you really need it to enjoy a concert? I just hate how it smells!

They're pretty mellow out on the smoking sections outside.... But you better be prepared to share...

Shouldn't be a problem. I haven't seen ANY issues with security unles syou are taking pictures. Its a fan friendly venue in this regard....

DO NOT SMOKE IN YOUR SEATS!

GO TO THE SMOKING AREA OUTSIDE!

With due diligence you will have no prolem,

but you are just asking for trouble (arrest, hi $$$ fine) if you smoke inside.

Some a shitload before the show and then a bigger shitload afterwards. No hassles there!

Personally, I enjoy a good toke here and there but the guy in front of me last week was smoking very blatantly and it was like a freaking dragon was in front of me. Plumes of smoke. The older ladies I was sitting beside were about to lose their shit, and went to complain to an usher. The security guy came back with them and tried really hard to NOT locate the source of the odor - I think security doesn't want to get involved in it, so why force them to kick you out? I would stick to edibles or the parking lot. It's pretty inconsiderate to openly smoke in such a confined environment(although I personally am not phased by it).

Make brownies or eat hash.

I agree with most of the posters here... Security won't give you a hard time if you're discretely smoking outside in the designated smoking areas... Forcing others to inhale your second hand smoke is RUDE (even though I'll gladly take the contact high)

There are smoking areas outside of Loge 1 & I believe Loge 26 & 12 as well. I'll be sniffing you out on Friday..

So HERE'S where all the people are coming from that are bringing all the weed into the Forum; I was wondering why some of the shows smell like a Reggae Fest.

How about watching it like a good movie? Or do you get high at movie theaters too?

Thanks for the advice everybody!

Sharing is caring!

Some of yall are some old assed squares..at a Prince concert no less. Perverted old ladies abound.

You can always go to the stalls in the bathroom. Never a problem there.

No one wants to smell that sh&%!!!! You guys are horrible, go outside! Did you come to the concert to get high or to see prince?

Fuck all the judgemental little bitches! If you're too goddamned chckenshit to tell the smoker to his face go to smoking area, then you need the shut the fuck up on this!

How can you tell the smoker to his face via an internet forum?

doesn't sound as if people are mad about the smokers, its just about consideration for those around you. Moderation is key.

I disagree. Moderation isn't the issue. The Forum is a no-smoking venue. Smoking is no longer allowed in any indoor public places. This isn't an issue of moderation or security or rights. Do your thing if you choose but not in a public place where it affects other people who may not dig your vibe.

^^^ I agree... But that doesn't mean I have to impose it on U.

Go outside with the rest of the smokers if U choose to light up....

Personally, I'm just humoring myself with the whole thing. I knew this day would come, when I would once again get exposed to people that wanted to get high going to see Prince, just didn't think it would be via prince.org. He's already the most difficult musical artist to figure out, so why kill some brain cells at HIS show? But on top of that, I couldn't believe how much marijuana is present at this Forum Stand. So at this point, I'm like whatever people want to do is fine with me. Maybe they'll get so high, they forget their seats and I can help some of my friends upgrade. Who knows? Or maybe I'll even say yes if I make a bathroom run. I think I've been offered weed at 7 or 8 of the shows..pretty weird. I can't believe someone actually started this thread.

I'm not necessarily agreeing with the OP. However at each venue I've visited people WERE smoking inside. Most were not blatently smoking but some were. I found myself behind someone like that and simply moved away from them. My comments were directed toward pfunkjazz' comment.

The funny thing is... I truly dig Prince ... & I like getting high at concerts.... But, I prefer seeing Prince with a clear head.. Not sure why... I think it's that, with Prince, you need to be involved, Participate & interact. Let's not judge here though... But, the smokers need to be respectful of others right NOT 2 SMOKE.
