Cryptocurrency conference serves attendees cannabis without consent

Overall, it seems kind of rude to be involved with something where people accidentally ingest substances, where better event planning could've prevented non-intentional consumption, and then make a statement condemning substance abuse, rather than just owning the event planning mistake. Though maybe they have legal reasons for not wanting to take ownership of the mistake...

It seems it would've been better if the statement wasn't

"I would like to make it clear: substance abuse is against the values that we uphold."

(Just using cannabis isn't substance abuse - substance abuse is a specific thing, i.e. see the following list for opioid abuse criteria, most of the criteria should apply to most other substances https://www.buppractice.com/node/12351)

But instead

"I would like to make it clear: serving people drugs without making it explicitly clear that they are consuming drugs is against the values that we uphold."

That’s fucked up. Why force when there are people like me who would have loved to eat that :/

Seems like a greenfield for lawyers.

Is that so?
