This year, if you show up for the annual Moscow Hemp Fest on the traditional weekend — the one closest to April 20, of course — you’ll instead find a bunch of kids hunting eggs in their Easter finest.  The usual hemp-related festivities — art, reggae, food and other musicians and vendors — are all happening a week earlier than usual.  The laid-back event has also been more political in recent years, and features some serious speakers, including Kristin Flor, an advocate whose father died in prison after his Montana medical marijuana dispensary was raided, and Serra Frank, founder of Moms for Marijuana.
