In Washington, D.C. to protest the results of a certain recent election? You may get the chance to light up at the same time:
Some activists in town for Inauguration Day are willing to risk arrest by planning to go "green." The DC Cannabis Coalition plans to hand out 4,200 free joints the day President-elect Donald Trump will take over the White House, in an effort to keep their hopes of federal marijuana legalization from taking a hit. The group will begin at 8 a.m. in Dupont Circle, then plans to march down to the National Mall in time for Mr. Trump's inauguration. At exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds into Mr. Trump's inaugural address -- 420 is the commonly known code for marijuana -- thousands of protesters will light up.
[...] "The main message is it's time to legalize cannabis at the federal level," Adam Eidinger, the founder of DCMJ, a group of D.C. residents who introduced and helped get D.C.'s marijuana legalization initiative passed, told CBS affiliate WUSA.
[...] Eidinger also said the protest isn't explicitly anti-Trump; all are welcome, and organizers are happy for it to be a joint effort between supporters of different political parties. The joints themselves will be completely free. "We don't want any money exchanged whatsoever, this is really a gift for people who come to Washington, D.C.," he said.
CBSN is still running fake news segments about cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) as of Jan. 5th.

We'll be celebrating our freedom by having black-clad enforcers [wikipedia.org] arresting people who rightfully believe that liberty means being able to enjoy a mind-altering drug that is neither offered by the pharma cartels nor Big Alcohol. Trump! Trump! Trump!

Please read up a bit on Nazi history. At its core you will find socialism. You do a large disservice to the people who were oppressed by comparing minor political crap in the US to Nazis. Perhaps you should question why you are doing that? I would postulate that you have been fed a line that sounds good to you but is probably untrue. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/817361291513917440 [twitter.com]
If you want the police to not show up for this perhaps you should get the laws changed? We do have a process to do that you know. In fact many states are doing just that.

Nazis calling themselves socialists are like Democrats calling themselves democratic after the crap they pulled in the primary. In reality, the "socialism" in "national socialism" was pure marketing where it was easy to miss the emphasis on "national" -- meaning people working for the good of the state, rather than for the good of humanity.

The Democrats can do what ever they want in their Primary elections. They are not General Elections. The Party controls all facets of them. They could have appointed Hillary as the candidate without any approval of their party members. You should read up on Election Law.
