This post, published April 18, sparked backlash among parents and youth advocates, who said it aimed to welcome kids at the all-ages Mile High 420 Fest.
It also didn’t sit well with cannabis users who peppered the now-deleted Facebook thread with comments alleging hypocrisy and mixed messages..

Oh, and “consuming marijuana in public is prohibited.
