Why

Marijuana prohibition has gone on long enough. The United States jails more people than any other nation—both in absolute numbers and as a proportion of the population—and the vast majority of those people are in jail for the victimless, consensual “crime” of consuming a substance that the government doesn’t approve of. Numerous attempts to pass legislation relaxing marijuana prohibition have failed. An additional tactic is clearly called for.

Some people attend the rallies to protest the current state of affairs. Some people smoke at the rallies as an act of civil disobedience. And some people have simply given up caring what the government’s “laws” say they must not do.

To the tune of “Every day” by Buddy Holly

Every day
Gather at 4:20,
Central Square—
Share in the plenty!
Prove to all the world
That the system’s broke.
Smoke,
Smoke, smoke.

Every day!
Never fail to make it!
Tell the State
We’re not gonna take it.
Bring your buds,
And bring some buds to smoke.
Toke,
Toke, toke

Every day!
Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
Cops? O-kay—
Somebody will spot ’em.
We’re not prey
To satisfy the bottom—
Feeders in the Keene PD.
(It’s just chocolate mint leaves…)

Every day
We’ll proclaim our freedom.
Leaders, cops and courts—
We don’t need ’em!
Weed ’em out
Of the garden of us decent folk.
Smoke,
No joke.
