VIDEO: State Trooper Fails to Intimidate 4/20 in Concord

in #cannabis6 years ago

Here's the final video from the series of videos from this year's 4/20 Rally in Concord, NH at the state house steps where a lone state trooper walks up and attempts to intimidate the peaceful cannabis users into leaving a place where they have a right to be by bellowing, "If you're smoking marijuana here you need to leave... move out now!"

A few inexperienced attendees begin to make an exit but most of the crowd stays in defiance. After being greeted by state representatives who were attending the event including Dan Hynes, the lone trooper tries again with a much more timid, "If you're smoking marijuana, please move off the property."

No one leaves. While he could have written tickets for anyone smoking the now-slightly-decriminalized cannabis, he instead exits the scene, never to return.

For those keeping track, this is the first time in nearly a decade of 4/20 rallies at the state house steps where any such intimidation was tried. At previous rallies, all participants were risking misdemeanor possession charges, yet no one was ever arrested. This year was the first where decrim for under 3/4 oz has been in effect.

Thanks to Garret Ean of Free Concord for capturing this on video.

Even in Aceh where I was born, is one of the largest producers of marijuana in the world, marijuana remains not given any room for legalization.
