While Italy is still debating light cannabis and controversial decrees, the United States publicly celebrates hemp in all its forms. The Boise Hempfest, taking place on May 10, 2025 at Julia Davis Park (Idaho), is a clear example of how cannabis culture can become inclusive, sustainable, and even educational.
A free and open festival
Boise Hempfest is inspired by the long-standing tradition of Seattle’s Hempfest and is completely free to attend. It’s a grassroots, community-driven event where you’ll find:
Activists, artisans, and growers,
Live music performances,
Conferences and workshops on industrial hemp,
Spaces dedicated to patient rights and policy reform.
It’s a space where culture, politics, and creativity meet—unfiltered and unafraid.
A shared vision
The festival promotes hemp not just as a useful plant, but as a symbol of freedom and resistance. In Idaho, where laws remain extremely strict, the event carries even more weight—it brings the conversation into public space, challenging stigma and ignorance.
This is exactly the spirit we share.
At Clorophobia, we see events like Boise Hempfest as distant echoes of what we hope to one day experience in Italy and across Europe: open, public, inclusive conversations. A celebration of hemp as an ally of the earth, medicine, and civil rights.
From Boise to the future
As we wait for change to take root here, we look to Boise Hempfest as a reminder:
📗 the fight isn’t over,
🌱 but it can be joyful.
