Look who we met Friday at Hempfest (20 pictures)

Jeff Adams sparked a bowl of a funny-smelling, mossy-looking, tobacco-like substance at Hempfest on Friday. After the long and treacherous drive to the festival site in the the backwoods of Echo Bay, our photographer met up with many friendly, chatty people who were all open to having their pictures taken by SooToday.com.

The three-day event started Friday but Saturday's schedule is busier then ever.
