The Green Sesh Now A Monthly Event
What started out as a chilly morning for The Green Sesh market surprisingly turned into a beautiful day, enough for us to forget it was Winter at least, though I’m sure the delectable edibles & sweets offered for sale and pungent aroma wafting through the air may have helped the forgetting but the combination set the perfect mood.
Visitors to the Cannabis health market came through the gates slowly but surely. Braving the morning chill to either satisfy burning curiosity. Some getting a head start shopping for their favourite medibles, edibles, smoke accessories and grow products.
Being the first Market of it’s kind in Alberton their weren’t a huge amount of stores. This in itself made for a pleasantly intimate gathering. Happy banter and chit chat were the order of the day amongst friends and strangers alike. Typical good vibes go without saying at any Cannabis related event. The Dagga Couple came out to show their support and mingle with the vendors and visitors. By the afternoon things had picked up nicely. Groups of friends gathered to enjoy drinks in the sun, roll joints and share a dab with their mates. Topics of discussion ranging from strains, what they just found at a store, rig comparisons and funny stories. The Green Sesh is strictly no under 18’s.
The awesome Hosts, Vendors and Sponsors offering their wares or representing their business for the day were :
Darkside Tattoo Collective are a Tattoo and Piercing Studio situated in Alberton. This big happy family are more than just a Professional Tattoo, Piercing and Body Modification studio. Their outgoing and warm way in which they receive their clients and friends is super impressive and we suggest you go hang out by their shop a bit on Thursday evenings.

We had to include this scenario that took place at the Bobby greenhash stand. Monkey spotted the free cannabis chocolates visitors were being offered to sample and it basically took Monkeys Mommy a good few minutes to explain to him he cannot have the chocolate! The scene this little guy threw was hysterical! See the face!
