Smoking pot in public, cops won't arrest! (read description)
tags:
Stumble ThisThis is quite amazing. The Free-Staters started a 420 Cannabis Calebration movement in Keene, NH, where everyone bands together to smoke pot exactly at 4:20pm in the public square. On the first day in Keene, NH, the cops arrested someone. Immediately after every Free-Stater moved inside the police station lobby and started lighting up (video of people swarming the police station below in the comments). With the sheer number of protesters, the cops turned a blind eye.
Soon, the cops started turning a blind eye to the 420 celebration and instead spent their efforts fighting crime. In my opinion, this is amazing. This is a huge step forward for the legalization movement.

I would also like to see some well dressed, clean shaven smokers get involved.
That's great and all, but demonstrating to the cops is much less important than convincing the legislators. I do appreciate their efforts however, and would love to see this happen in cities all over the US.

I support the public disobedience thing in the park but I don't think those guys at the police department are doing anything really constructive. It seems more like they're out for excitement than anything else. The police even deserve to be commended for taking the time to address them respectfully.
And for crying out loud! Get rid of the damn tie-dyes already. It's not a symbol of peace or protest and nobody with an ounce of sense wants it as a symbol of the legalization movement. It just makes you look delusional and douchey.
The cute chick wearing the marijuana leaf can stay though.
It takes stone-headed resolve to weed out the truth from the injustice.
This is a buzz that should be seen and heard around the world!
You walk 10 blocks Downtown in broad daylights, I guarantee that you pass at least 4 or 5 people smoking J's. It's really part of our culture so cops turn a blind eye.
It's too bad the US doesn't adopt this way of thinking, Weed is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It's a plant that makes you relaxed when you breath in it's burning smoke, it almost makes me believe in god, almost.
For the record, hands down, British Columbia has the best weed in Canada.
I can legally buy a gun, but I can't buy a dime bag for personal use. Just something seems weird about that.
I can legally buy a dime bag -- I could legally buy an ounce -- but only in California, and only if I present my papers.
Years ago, I was given a citation for possession, but along with that I was also required to go to a local community college and take a marijuana "class". The cop who was instructing us on the downsides of our drug of choice told us straight up that most of the law enforcement in California doesn't give a shit about us smoking it, as long as we're in our homes and not driving on the roads. He then went on to tell us how much worse alcohol abuse was and that if he wasn't a police officer he might be a smoker himself. Sadly, he told us, he remains an alcohol abuser! It was pretty duuuhhh, but hearing a cop telling us that in a court appointed class was amusing.
wankers; they don't want freedom they just want to smoke weed...

The freedom to smoke weed...
You think this won't have an effect? You think that if, at 4.20 every single day, in every single country around the world, an absolute shit ton of people started smoking pot? What if we then had another one at 5.20, 6.20 and 7.20, fuck - most of the day maybe? So that ppl at work could turn up to later ones, and make up the numbers.
It won't have an effect if you sit there saying "this won't have an effect" instead of getting behind it and potentially joining in.
It doesn't matter what they look like, how they dress, how much facial hair they have, if they're there for a laugh or if they're there for freedom. They're fucking THERE, and they deserve the right to choose their own shit in life as long as it doesn't harm anyone else - and trust me it doesn't.
The fuck are you even saying, imstellar? They don't want freedom they just want to smoke weed? Consider that sentence. It doesn't make sense. They don't want freedom they just want to be able to do something that they want to do which affects nobody but themselves?
Cock.
How can anyone condemn this?

Why wait till after work? Why not get high all day? Shit, we should get babies high! That's sure to turn some eyes.
I feel like we should handle this one in the courts. If only us stoners woke up early enough to become lawyers...
