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.
Keene 420 rally in response to Manchester arrests

Porc411 call from Rich Paul:—
We in Keene will be protesting these arrests with our own 420 event, and discussing strategy at the Social Sunday event at Abunara’s. Brian Manning will be attending the Keene event and bringing a contingent from Manchester. Let’s get as many people as possible out there despite the short notice. Grab random stoners and tell them about this. The cops outnumbered the protesters by one yesterday in Manchester. Don’t let them outnumber us today. See you this afternoon.
