Free marijuana to be handed out Inauguration Day

[DesertRat]

WASHINGTON — The DC Cannabis Coalition says it plans to hand out thousands of joints of marijuana on Inauguration Day — for free — to urge federal legalization of pot.

The group plans to start handing out joints at 8 a.m. Jan. 20 on the west side of Dupont Circle in the nation's capital, where recreational marijuana is legal. Then, marchers will walk to the National Mall where the real protest will begin.

The great marijuana giveaway is legal, as long as it's done on D.C. land.

"We don't want any money exchanged whatsoever. This is really a gift for people who come to Washington, D.C.," he said.

There will 4,200 gifts, to be exact. Then, at 4 minutes and 20 seconds into Trump's speech (420 is the internationally known code for weed), protesters are encouraged to light up. That part, is most definitely illegal.

1. What the fuck is wrong with all these people...

From the many protesters to those handing out free weed

We should be encouraging people to stay away

It doesn't matter why people are there

It doesn't matter if everyone there is anti trump

He will look out and see an ocean of people and take credit for every one of you

It will feed his ego and that's all he needs

2. I agree 100%

3. that's a poor reason to not protest

...who cares what he says? He lies about everything.

We should show up in force. There will be no mistaking protesters from Trump supporters. His crowd will be the ones yelling racist, bigoted, diatribes.

6. And he will take credit for the largest turnout...

And the media will back him and that will be the official story

And, by the way, we will care every day what this fool has to say

8. I don't believe that's entirely true

...and it's still not a good reason to shun the protest.

I imagine other countries who regularly turn out millions when their govt. is found to be corrupt will be looking to see if Americans really dissent from this presidency. I think the size of the protest will be unprecedented and highly visible and discernible from the main event, for anyone who cares to notice.

4. brings back memories of the smoke-in days

...was at a smoke-in at the park in front of the White House in 2005-2006?

There was a guy in a clown suit throwing up pin joints that he had in a large paper bag to the crowd. There was a line of police horses between the park and the WH as if we were going to try and storm the place . . . We marched from there to the Lincoln Memorial to see Root Boy and it was just delicious! Boogie till you puke!!

5. Sounds like a good time

7. I was 15

...everything back then seemed like a good time looking back on it today (at 56).

I'm going to the inaugural protest.

I'll be there, as always, with my wife of 37 years. We live on the (far) outskirts of town, so it's not hard to get down there . . . no real effort involved except pulling myself out of the house after working all night. I've been a city protester since the old smoke-ins, and the ERA and No Nukes rallies when I was a teen.

Blessings to all of us who make it there in person and in spirit. I'm looking forward to an emotional day and having our marchers make an impact which will be heard around the nation and around the globe.

10. Sounds like a fun time

9. They're assuming Trump's speech will last 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

The speech could end abruptly if a gust of wind musses his beautiful hairdo.

On the other hand, his speech could last 4 hours and 20 minutes. We're gonna need a bigger bong.

11. I was thinking the same thing

It could go on and on like one of his self-aggrandizing rallies, or it could be very short like his 140 character tweets. NO ONE KNOWS what this clown will say or do at any time.
