By purchasing tickets and participating in the Yoga classes and cannabis consumption I understand the legal consequences of doing so which includes a release of The Yoga Joint 420, LLC from all liability related to the classes and promising not to sue the The Yoga Joint 420, LLC and assuming all risks involved in the classes known or unknown.

12. I understand that I must be in a US state or country that has legalized medical marijuana to obtain an approval or recommendation for the use and possession of medical cannabis. I am aware that a Notice of Compliance has not been issued under the Food and Drug Regulations concerning the safety and effectiveness of marijuana as a drug. I understand the significance of this fact. 

A. All activities provided by the Released Parties are in full compliance with California Proposition 64. 

California Proposition 64 was passed by the citizens of California. In November 2016 it became legal for all adults over the age of 21 to cultivate, possess, and consume marijuana for recreational purposes. As of January 1, 2018, students with a valid government issued ID are permitted to purchase marijuana or marijuana-infused products. Visitors to California with out-of-state or international ID are also allowed to purchase marijuana or infused products. All adults over the age of 21 are permitted to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana or up to 8 grams of concentrated cannabis. Additional regulations are expected to be enacted and enforced as this new law is implemented.

B. Age Restriction, Valid ID, No Refunds

Student warrants that he or she is at least 21 years old and will provide valid government issued identification (“ID”) upon check-in at the time of the Events and shall carry his or her ID at all times while participating in the Events. Non-US citizens must carry a valid passport at all times. student acknowledges that he or she will be denied entry for failure to provide required identification to the satisfaction of the Released Parties, may be asked to leave the Events if unable to produce valid identification at any time during the Events, and shall not be entitled to a refund if such valid identification is not produced upon request by the Released Parties. Expired forms of documentation are not valid under any circumstances.

C. Federal Laws

Student acknowledges that cannabis is considered a Schedule 1 drug under federal law, and that the Released Parties cannot guarantee that Student will not be subject to arrest or other legal proceedings or consequences by federal authorities due to Student’s participation in the classes, including criminal prosecution. student hereby forever releases and holds the Released Parties harmless for any action or exclusion which may be taken against Student by federal authorities as a result of Student’s participation in, registration for or in connection with the classes .

I am aware that medical marijuana has not been approved under Federal Regulations and I understand that medical marijuana has not been deemed legal under federal law. Although smoking marijuana has not been linked to lung cancer, smoking marijuana can cause respiratory harm, such as bronchitis. Many researchers agree that marijuana smoke contains known carcinogens (chemicals that can cause cancer) and that smoking marijuana may increase the risk of respiratory diseases and cancers in the lungs, mouth and tongue. I have been advised that medical marijuana smoke contains chemicals known as tars that may be harmful to my health. 

I understand that there are many methods of intake that substantially reduce the harmful effects of smoking such as edibles, tinctures, etc. I agree that if I am a female student that I must alert the teacher if I am pregnant prior to purchasing the class and understand that I can not and will not participate in the canna yoga portion of the yoga class or events. I understand that I should not be driving a vehicle while using marijuana and that I can get a DUI for driving under the influence.I hereby declare that I have completely and truthfully disclosed all information regarding my medical conditions and attest that I do not intend to use my medical recommendation for the purpose of illegally obtaining, growing or distributing medical marijuana. I am aware that my medical marijuana recommendation can be revoked at any time and legal actions will be taken if I have perjured or misrepresented myself or my condition, my intentions or falsified any medical information to attend class. Additionally, I acknowledge that The Yoga Joint 420, LLC has asked me directly about pre-existing injuries, ailments and conditions that could affect my experience and health during or after class and I exercised my personal choice to share or not to share that information with my teacher and The Yoga Joint 420, LLC..

I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. By signing this NEW STUDENT RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, I acknowledge that if anyone is injured or property is damaged during my participation in yoga, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against The Yoga Joint 420 Studio, LLC on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document.

I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS NEW STUDENT RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, AND I AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. 

I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE that The Yoga Joint 420 Studio, LLC may, in its sole discretion, bar minor’s participation in yoga or require minor’s removal from its facilities in order to prevent injury or inconvenience to minor and others.

Please consult with your physician before beginning any exercise and a medical marijuana program. By participating in this exercise or exercise program, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, assume all risk of injury to yourself, and agree to release and discharge The Yoga Joint 420 from any and all claims or causes of action, known or unknown, arising out of The Yoga Joint 420’s negligence.

FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  This Release has been executed by me with the express intention of effecting the legal consequences provided by Section 1541 of the California Civil Code, and any other federal, state or local laws of similar effect.  I intend to relinquish all claims against The Yoga Joint 420, whether or not known or suspected and expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred upon me by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (or any federal, state or local laws of similar effect), which reads:
