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.

Pick a crowd and follow it! Do some drugs! But not other drugs! Do not ever make your own choice! Always follow peer pressure!

Why do you have such a stick up your ass? You must be pretty young, in highschool, college, or at best just graduated. After those time periods people generally grow up and I have yet to see any instances of people smoking weed to "be cool", but then again I'm a nerd not a cool kid. Oh, you could be an old person who sees some young relatives going down a less-than-ideal path, that seems a little more fitting.
Social peer pressure results in a lot of things, but none of that has anything to do with this story. Thanks for the tangent, it let a few people share some info that others might actually find useful. Back to the self-flagellation High Inquisitor!

No dude. I don't have the right kind of stick up my ass. I should shove a joint up my ass and join your million moron march on Washington for the holy cause of cannabis. Fuck you and fuck your cause.

As much as I hate you now, I will probably be just as much of a cynical asshole in 10 years. So hat(e)'s off to you.
