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.

Hemlock is also legal. And nightshade. And castor beans, but you might want to be careful with them. What is your point, AC?

Let's just abandon controversial controlled substances and get our highs from uncontroversial unregulated legal substances instead. Especially since marijuana is weak anyway. Nope. Never going to happen. Can't make a political stunt to demand the legalization of legal substances.
What's my point? Marijuana is irrelevant. Pointless political stunt is pointless. People are morons.

FTFY. If people want to use weed or any other controversial substance, let them.
It also doesn't kill people outright, like your gay JIMSONWEED.

That's great why don't you start a movement to make JIMSONWEED ILLEGAL since it can kill people outright. You know why that won't work. Because all your ignorant faggot buddies will be like, "Jimsonweed, what the fuck is that shit I don't even."

No no no no that won't work. If we don't have prohibition of some drugs, protesters won't have anything to protest. Don't you understand prohibition keeps the protesters' culture alive?
