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.
Daily rallies starting back up in Keene

According to a Porc411 call on Saturday, 2010-03-06, the 420 at 4:20 rallies in Keene are happening daily again. We’ve had an unusually mild winter this year, and they’ve already been happening sporadically in Keene and Manchester since as far back as January; now that it’s been steadily warm for a while and looks like it will keep being so, the daily rallies are back in action.
“We smoke these in remembrance of lost liberties—and in a hope for a day when the people don’t fear the government, because the government fears the people.”
