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.

    You're on the wrong website... go check some hip hop and/or skater forums. Do you direct that same derision against people who smoke cigarettes to be cool or lose weight? How about all the alcoholics? Nothing worse than the self-righteous preacher, live and let live guy. Save your anger for when it actually affects your life.

    You're right I must be on the wrong site because there's nothing about shoving linux penguins up your ass while beating off to nude cosplay of lady stormtroopers. Where are the nerds? Send in the nerds.

        Sure dude, I scared them off. Has nothing to do with the fact that linux isn't even nerdy anymore, linux is installed in almost every piece of cheap consumer crap, and star wars films are multibillion dollar blockbusters instead of obscure crap for nerds.

          Jesus, the bitterness in this thread! If ever someone was in dire need of getting high and chilling out.... that is probably too much "drug slang" for you, but I'm not sure how to word it as if you would pop pills to adjust your brain chemistry. Seriously, mental stress is a killer and it is clear you're burning yourself out on mental crusades against things you can't change and which don't even affect your life.
