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.
Four-and-twenty tokers

To the tune of “Sing a song of sixpence”
Frolic, Free State fringies!
Pocket lighters spark.
Four-and-twenty tokers
Puffing in the park.
As the park is public,
The people puff in peace.
Doesn’t their example serve
To show up the police?
The bigwigs in the State House
Pretend to serve us all.
The cops are thugs and bullies
Looking for a brawl.
The so-called public “servants”
Guard their power base.
The Keene 420 smoke-ins toss
A cream pie in their face.
