Event Date: September 12, 2026
Location: The Plant, Pittsboro, North Carolina
Organizer: GKD Supply LLC d/b/a NC Canna Market
1. Scope
These Terms apply to NC Canna Festival experiences, cannabinoid-related activities, sampling, consumption, community judging, competitions, VIP activities, and other organized Festival programming.
They supplement the Master Attendee Terms & Conditions.
By purchasing, reserving, checking into, or participating in an experience or cannabinoid-related activity, the participant agrees to these Terms.
2. All Festival Experiences Are 21+
All organized Festival experiences are 21+ only, whether or not cannabinoid consumption is included.
This includes, where applicable:
Workshops
Wellness activities
Guided activities
Creative experiences
Community judging
Competitions
VIP experiences
Consumption experiences
Evening Chill
Other reserved or organized Festival activities
A ticket or reservation alone does not establish age eligibility.
3. Identification & Wristbands
Participants must provide a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID when requested.
A valid 21+ Festival wristband may be required before entering an experience or receiving cannabinoid products.
Wristbands:
Must be issued only after age verification
Must remain secured to the verified attendee
May not be transferred, shared, duplicated, or altered
May be invalidated if damaged, transferred, or suspicious
Festival staff and vendors may request identification again even after a wristband has been issued.
No valid ID means no 21+ access.
EXPERIENCE PARTICIPATION
4. Registration & Check-In
Some experiences may require:
Advance purchase
Reservation
Separate check-in
Capacity limits
Additional activity-specific rules
Participants should arrive within the stated check-in period.
Late arrival may result in loss of the reserved space when accommodating the participant would disrupt the activity or prevent another participant from attending.
5. Participant Responsibility
Participation is voluntary.
Each participant is responsible for determining whether an activity is appropriate for their:
Physical condition
Personal tolerance
Allergies
Medications
Mobility
Sensory needs
Health circumstances
Experience level
Participants must follow reasonable instructions from Festival staff, instructors, vendors, guides, and experience operators.
Anyone who feels ill, unsafe, overly impaired, or unable to continue should stop participating and notify staff.
SAFETY & ENFORCEMENT
15. Excessive Impairment
Festival staff, vendors, and experience operators may refuse additional service or participation when an attendee appears excessively impaired or unable to safely continue.
An attendee may be:
Refused additional products or samples
Removed from an experience
Denied entry to another experience
Removed from a consumption area
Referred for medical assistance
Removed from the Festival when reasonably necessary
Purchasing a ticket or experience does not guarantee continued participation when doing so would create a safety concern.
No refund is owed when participation is denied because of excessive impairment, unsafe behavior, or violation of Festival rules.
16. Right to Refuse Participation
NC Canna Market and authorized operators may refuse or discontinue participation because of:
Failure to verify age
Invalid or missing wristband
Excessive impairment
Unsafe behavior
Harassment or disruption
Failure to follow reasonable instructions
Medical or safety concerns
Capacity restrictions
Venue requirements
Legal requirements
Violation of Festival policies
Safety takes priority over completing an experience.
17. Product & Wristband Transfers
Attendees may not:
Transfer a 21+ wristband
Purchase cannabinoid products for an ineligible person
Give cannabinoid samples or products to an ineligible person
Assist another person in avoiding age verification
Alter, duplicate, or misuse Festival credentials
Serious violations may result in removal without refund.
