Cannabis Protest and Smoke-Out Being Held Tomorrow in Front of White House

dcmjA massive cannabis protest and smoke-out will be taking place tomorrow, April 2, in front of the White House. The event is being ran by the D.C. Cannabis Campaign, the organization that successfully legalized cannabis in the district through a voter-approved initiative in 2014. The group is calling on President Obama to reschedule cannabis – which he has the legal authority to do – as well as pardon Americans currently in prison for nonviolent cannabis-related offenses.

“President Obama has the power to use his authority to reschedule cannabis”, the group said in their announcement of the event. “But recent reports have shown that he has no plans to change the status quo and, frankly, that is just pitiful.”

The group will gather outside the White House at 2:00pm, with speakers from the D.C. Cannabis Campaign and other cannabis advocacy groups. At 4:20pm there will be a mass-consumption of cannabis.

“We will not be seeking any type of permit from the National Park Police because it is our constitutional right to peacefully gather and demand Obama stop being hypocrite”, the group says, noting that President Obama use to smoke cannabis.

According to the group; “A 4:20pm Mass-Consumption of cannabis includes smoking, vaping, but also eating. Do you think the National Park Service will go after your brownies, gummies, rice crispy treats, or cookies? Doubtful. As we #Reschedule420 this year, we encourage people who do not want to smoke or vape their cannabis to eat it as a form of protest. So in the misquoted words of Marie Antoinette, LET THEM EAT CAKE!”

    Mr. President if u want to leave a legacy for your 2 terms as President you need to RESCHEDULE Cannabis before you leave office. You will help the Democratic party in the up coming elections as well (83% of the voters want medical cannabis legalized and it the BEST alternitive to the heroin and opiod epidemic killing ppl every day) and u will be remembered as the President who lifted prohibition of the greatest medicine plant on the planet.
