Representatives Dyer and Stallcop were both featured speakers and also toked up with a crowd of over 100 people while representative Aldrich took photos, as he has done for years at the rally. Also photographing the event was Granite Haze of Mind blogger Justin Campagnone – you can check out his albums here. I had the honor of video recording the event, including all the speakers. I’ll be posting each speech to the Free Keene YouTube channel, so be sure to subscribe and click the notification bell on the YouTube channel to see the videos as they are released! Meanwhile, here’s a video with some highlights of the event to tide you over:
This year’s event began with speakers at 3pm including representatives Dyer & Stallcop, me explaining the right of Jury Nullification, and Libertarian Party of NH chairman Darryl W Perry. The overcast weather threatened rain which thankfully never materialized and the temperature was cool and pleasant with a couple dozen already in attendance at 3pm by the street, smoking cannabis and chalking messages on the pavement. As we closed in on 4:20pm (the time that cannabis is used in celebration globally) the numbers of attendees swelled to easily over 100 people.
Event organizer and executive director of the 420 Foundation, Shire Dude emceed (and live streamed) the event. As the crowd gathered directly in front of the state house close to 4:20, we heard from speakers including Carla Gericke of the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence, the executive director of the NH Cannabis Freedom Festival, Rick Naya, and medical cannabis consultant John Padellaro who told us how cannabis helped him with his inoperable brain growth. Padellaro also said, “I don’t support legalization. I support ending prohibition.” This sentiment was echoed by speakers Perry and Gericke, with Gericke also calling on New Hampshire’s new governor, Chris Sununu, to pardon all peaceful drug offenders and end funding for “Granite Hammer”. Perry and representative Dyer’s speeches focused on the current legal status and future of cannabis reform in New Hampshire while Naya reflected on the previous 420 rallies and people we’ve lost to prohibition. In his off-the-cuff speech, representative Stallcop of Keene told the attendees, “we need to stop looking at each other in terms of left or right. I see, in all honesty, there is right and there is wrong…We will stand together as one people and say that this is our decision, this is our choice.”New Hampshire bitcoiners were also scattered throughout the 420 rally, celebrating the same-day NH senate vote of 13-10 to pass the Bitcoin protection bill on to governor Sununu. With cannabis decriminalization passed by a record 89.8% of the NH house, it is widely expected to finally make it through the senate and new governor this year. In other cannabis-related political news, major expansion of the medical cannabis qualifying conditions also seems to be making good headway as well, with conditions like chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder possibly being added to the list. Will republican governor Sununu prove to be more compassionate on this issue than his democrat predecessor? Remember, this is New Hampshire, where political labels don’t always mean what you think they mean.
While mainstream media news reporters present seemed to be limited to the Concord Monitor’s Allie Morris, the police were definitely watching, with what many suspected to be a police drone surveilling from above during the main event at 4:20. While one could say the drone being police-operated is speculation, there was definitely an unmarked police SUV parked and observing the crowd early on in the event. After I noticed him sitting there, I walked over to the grass near where he was sitting and pointed my camera at him. Within a minute, he said something into a microphone, rolled up his window and left, not to return. Besides a few state police cruisers driving by (not unusual for downtown Concord), that was the extent of any obvious police presence. As has been the case over the eight years of this epic civil disobedience event, no one was arrested.Overall, the event was fantastic with plenty of people, great speakers, good weed, conversation, and camaraderie. The future looks bright for cannabis in New Hampshire, especially as more liberty-oriented activists migrate here as part of the Shire Society and Free State Project. If you care about freedom and want help make it happen, you should really consider moving here ASAP. Here are over 101 Reasons Why Liberty Lives in New Hampshire. Stay tuned here to Free Keene for the latest on ending prohibition in New Hampshire.

CO2 alarms going off would indicate either faulty alarms or a ventilation problem.
Either way, maybe Concord District Sham Court Church is overdue for a raid from code enforcement… like what used to happen at the KAC.
The simplest answer is their CO2 detector is faulty and the judge just wanted to get through her docket, but I see you’ve chosen to go the batshit conspiratorial route that they are purposely trying to stop the public from seeing the proceedings. Sounds legit lol
Uh huh. Oh. Wait. Except for the fact that libtard weirdos are depraved liars and can’t be expected to leave anything to chance.
Remember these whoppers, Karl?
1. The Wuhan Virus is of natural origin.
2. Men can get pregnant.
3. The border is closed.
4. Trump colluded with the Russians.
5. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
6. Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation.
7. The inflation is only temporary.
If you want to provide proof for any of your claims I am all ears, but we both know you won’t.
So you’re all ears and stuff, huh Karl? Wow. That doesn’t sound anything at all like you.
Anyway, instead of shooting the messenger, maybe you should launch up Google and see for yourself? It’s really simple and stuff. You have no idea. What’s holding you back, anyhow? I’ll bet it’s that huge ego of yours, isn’t it?
Yeah Silvia, why don’t you prove that men can’t have babies and stuff? We’re waiting.
Uh huh. Uterus shmuterus, am I right Intrigare? At least that’s what a libtard weirdo like Karl would say, anyway. God he’s so cool. He just doesn’t have any fucks to give at all, now does he?
Do transmen exist? I think they do, so… Men can have babies.
Uh huh. That’s exactly what a guy with a huge ego would say, Karl.
Anyway, it turns out that transmen don’t exist. They’re only pretending that they do. That’s why they have to rely so much on libtard weirdos like you to take part in their fantasies and reinforce their lies and stuff.
Women have babies. And transmen are women. And that’s an irrefutable fact of science, Karl – no matter how much it chaps your flat, flabby, libtard weirdo buttcheeks. Pretty cool, am I right?
Given your track record with science, I’m not sure I put any stock into what you have to say on the matter. Gender roles have never been scientific, by the way.
Gosh, Karl. So gender’s not a scientific category all of a sudden? Wow. Well that doesn’t seem believable. I mean my hens lay like one egg a day each and stuff and I’m totally sure they’re all of the female gender. Say, you’re not one of those fake doctors like Jacks is, now are ya? Cuz that would be so hilarious.
Nope, gender is not a scientific category. It is a sociocultural one. Chickens, as far as I am aware, do not have gender. Your hens are of the female sex.
Glad I could clear that up, buttercup.
Yowsers, Karl. You and your commie “sociocultural” bullshit. I mean to you guys up is down, left is right, and hot is cold. Just because. It must be excruciating having to make up so much stuff in order to explain your kooky ideology to everybody, huh?
I didn’t make any of this up. It’s really out there. There are transmen and women out in the world today. Denying reality by pretending they don’t exist isn’t going to get you anywhere.
Yeah Silvia… Orwell coined this “Newspeak” in 1984. See when the party controls language, they also control thoughts. Changing the meanings of words until they become meaningless… Remember when they did this with the word, “rape” a few years ago? Now rape can mean anything, right?
Orwell was a flaming liberal too, don’t forget. Damn guy, huh?
Yup. I remember. Damn guy was pretty fucking observant though, wasn’t he?
Anyway, making words meaningless is an understatement, isn’t it? In Karl’s mind, trans men can have babies cuz “gender” is a socialcultural role and not a biological one. Yet pregnancy is a biological function that only the female “sex” can experience.
Whoa. That’s quite a paradox, huh Intrigare? Well, not to Karl it isn’t. If only I were a real scientist like he is. Then I’d understand. 😉
Contradictory and meaningless. Same as “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”
Oh, and don’t think “sociocultural” includes you, as if you were a part of the society and culture and stuff. That only includes Karl and his friends and the like… and the brilliant thinkers that Karl refers to that we couldn’t possibly comprehend that tell us what to think.. Orwell referred to them as “Big Brother” or “The Party.”
Anyway, ready for the boots stamping on your face forever yet?
Yeah. I’m with ya, Intrigare. Jackboots totally suck.
Anyway, didja hear the latest? Turns out I’m starting to get on Karl’s good side.
I know. I know. He still totally thinks I voted for Trump and that I want to throw all the trans people in the gulags and stuff – which I totally do – but he just pulled a fast one on me and told me he’s totally interested in hearing my thoughts and stuff. Gosh. Can you believe that?
Anyway, wish me luck, Intrigare. Cuz I’m totally gonna try and red pill him. 😉
Idk Silvia maybe he thinks you’re gullible enough to fall for that age-old “if you’re compassionate enough for X, then you would have the government do Y” false dichotomy. Who does he think you are, the average voter or something?
Well, Karl has come to the conclusion that conservatives and libertarians are pretty much the exact same thing. So I guess it’s not surprising that he’s selling us short and stuff. Anyway, it’s totally hilarious how he regards himself as the only guy in the room who possesses even a shred of empathy, am I right?
Perish the thought hehehe
Yup. These days men can have babies and stuff. You know, just cuz. No denial of reality on your part, now is there Karl? In fact it’s so real to you libtard weirdos, you want government to pass laws that force everyone to pay lip service to this nonsense. Or else. God you guys are fucked up, am I right?
Let’s start from the top, I guess. Do you think that there are biologically female people that identify as the male gender, so much that it causes mental stress and anguish? I hope you are not so far gone that you can acknowledge that these people currently exist. Otherwise, I guess our conversation stops here. So if you are with me so far, what should be done about them? They won’t magically go away, as much as they make you uncomfortable. Should we repress them? Mock and ridicule them? Deprive them of their freedom and commit them to the loony… Read more »
Uh huh. That’s nice, Karl. Anyway, we’re not the ones that’re doing the oppressing, now are we? You libtard weirdos are. And all the while you turds continue to cry out while you strike at us, now don’tcha? Take California, for instance. Didja know that the libtard weirdos there passed a law a few years ago that makes it a crime for health care workers to fail to use a patient’s preferred name or pronouns? It’s true, Karl. No foolin’. Thankfully, that law didn’t hold up under any form of constitutional scrutiny and was struck down. That’s cuz it’s illegal… Read more »
Care to answer this question, instead of derailing:
what should be done about them?
I wasn’t derailing, Karl. I was pointing out that the oppressors you’re troubling yourself over aren’t actually who ya think they are.
Oh, and Karl? I can’t answer any more of your questions until you do me a solid and say the magic word, m’kay? I’m a stickler for the niceties, don’tcha know. 😉
Please answer the question instead of derailing.
Thank you, Karl. That was totally gracious of ya. Oh, and I’m gonna let your cheeky dig at the end go cuz that’s what a nice girl I am. Anyway, setting aside all of the implications made by your other questions – particularly the parts where you keep insisting that the treating of other people’s mental illnesses is somehow mine or the government’s responsibility – I think a better question is – what should you do? Well, besides standing firm on the notion that everyone else should be forced to pay for everything, of course? I mean, if you care… Read more »
So once again, you avoid answering the question.
I know, right? Anyway Karl, remember the other day when we were bouncing all sorts of swell ideas off of each other about how to address government corruption and I brought up secession and stuff and you told me to fuck off cuz you’re afraid of creating more “right-wing hellholes” or some shit? Well Karl, that sort of thing is kinda why a lot of us here prefer messing with ya instead of making common cause with ya. It totally saves time. Pretty big-hearted of us, don’tcha think? Oh, and no need to thank me, Karl. I’m always happy to… Read more »
Why won’t you answer a simple question?
Uh huh. Thing is Karl, I did answer your question. The hurdle here is that your massive ego is keeping you from accepting the notion that I’m just not interested in solving other people’s problems using your tired, old, big-government approach to everything. I have no objection if you want to try and solve them yourself, though. More power to ya. I know, Karl. I know. You care so much and your heart bleeds and you cry yourself to sleep every night cuz you think the rest of us here don’t care about the trans community and you’re totally mad… Read more »
“Well Karl, that sort of thing is kinda why a lot of us here prefer messing with ya instead of making common cause with ya. It totally saves time”
^This
Karl: Hey, can we stop trolling for a bit and discuss something seriously?
Silvia: Uh, ok I should know better, but here goes…
Karl: *trolls*
^does this pretty much sum it up? 😀
Reminds me of the Peanuts comic where Lucy keeps pulling the football out from under Charlie Brown, and he keeps falling for it. Remember that Silvia?
Lol. Yup. I remember, Intrigare. 🙂 Anyway Intrigare, like I was explaining to Karl earlier, there actually is a method to my madness. I’ve been approaching his questions from a perspective that his massive ego refuses to allow him to consider – and that’s that whatever bullshit Karl has decided is a problem to him is not necessarily a problem to me. I think you’d agree that if Karl here really wants to help trans people, then he should get together with like-minded individuals, pool his resources with them if he has to, and leave the rest of us out… Read more »
“I’ve been approaching his questions from a perspective that his massive ego refuses to allow him to consider – and that’s that whatever bullshit Karl has decided is a problem to him is not necessarily a problem to me.”
That’s funny, because that’s how most of society feels about libertarianism. lol
Uh huh. Hence our motivation for petitioning for a national divorce, Karl.
Sounds like society should (and does) care about your opinion about as much as you care about mine, cupcake
I know, right?
Anyway, speaking about not caring about other people’s opinions, that reminds me of this awesome comment made by the great rhetorician Matt Gaetz.
https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1551659615137550336
Ha ha. It’s totally true, am I right Karl?
Silvia engaging honestly? Good one, lol.
Karl: Hey, can we stop trolling for a bit and discuss something seriously?
Silvia: Did you hear what Joe Biden did? Also, Venezuela isn’t looking so great. Also, this SJW person did something zany. What a stupid liberal weirdo. Anyway, I have to go watch a TV show and eat some puddling pops. Remember Bill Cosby? He’s much better than Bill Clinton, what a creep am I right? Anyway blah blah blah blah
Ha ha ha. The idea of you wanting to have a respectful conversation with anyone is totally laugh-out-loud funny, Karl.
Or it’s because we have no common causes, because you are right wing conservatives.
Yet another motivation for a national divorce, Karl.
No you didn’t. I never brought up government in this line of questioning at all. Instead, you keep trying to shoehorn it in for some reason. Silvia – my opinion and how it may or may not be wrong, or how it may or may not include the government, is not the answer to the question. I was looking for your opinion. Try to stay on task.
” Maybe you should concentrate your efforts elsewhere then, hmm?”
Pot meet kettle. You respond to my comments more than I respond to yours.
Uh huh. Thing is Karl, you should probably expect that sort of thing when you go around swimming in other people’s soup. By the way, I did give you my opinion. And now you’re all mad and stuff cuz it wasn’t in line with your expectations. That’s totally hilarious to me, by the way. Say, speaking of swimming, didja hear the latest skinny on Lia Thomas? You’re so gonna love this, Karl. First a little background info, though. Thomas is an NCAA Division I swimmer who, according to the AP Styleguide, was born male, went through puberty as a male,… Read more »
“By the way, I did give you my opinion.”
No you didn’t. I mean, I can infer that you are a transphobe based on your reluctance to answer the question, but you never actually gave me your opinion aside from you don’t want the government to do anything. The thing is, my question didn’t involve the government. I was asking how you were going to treat these people.
If there is a point to your rambling trans athlete story please let me know.
Yeah Silvia, when Karl talks about the “leftist” way of doing things, on a societal level, it has nothing to do with government and stuff. How silly of you to think that.. Totally on an individual, personal level. Totally that.
Idk Karl, you did ask the question earlier “At the end of the day, who gives a shit who has which dangly bits?”
According to Silvia’s story, some female athletes and the NCAA seems to care. Does that mean nothing to you?
Alright, it’s bad enough that I have one person gish galloping, but adding a second person too much.
I’ll see you two in the next half baked FK post.
Gish galloping? Ha no need. First, this wasn’t a debate to begin with. Second, you ran out of steam as soon as you realized Silvia and I knew the true nature of “The ‘Leftist’ route.” It is no different from what anyone else does, except for having the government make others do stuff (which by definition isn’t accepting and embracing.)
So yeah see ya in the next FK post with your troll posts among all the other trolls 🙂
Hilarious how Karl sees himself as both the debater and the debate moderator – all nicely wrapped up into one neat package, huh Intrigare?
No, there is good reason to suspect foul play here. We’ve had as many people in these courtrooms on plenty of occasions and the number of people in that courtroom should not be setting off a CO2 sensor anyhow based on the size of the room and the number of people in it. In fact there was a prior occasion recently in which as many people were in that room as Ian pointed out and the detector did not go off. Even if it was off at the time because it was new someone still had to set the CO2… Read more »
Or a faulty detector. They can and do go bad, you know. That’s a much simpler explanation than conspiracy.
The judge, Erin B McIntyre, was appointed in 2017, according to my research. Anyone appointed by the Damn Emperor is a conflict of interest.
Thanks for the excellent independent media coverage of our latest kangaroo court event!!!!

sb here, imma put on the hat of thecovidblog blooger and refers to himself as a 3rd person. here goes
“this blogger first heard of a CO2 detector in relation to this robed woman. Prior to that he knew about smoke dectors and rarely, CO detectors”

Judges, being alien creatures are particularly susceptible to co2. No doubt it makes their lizard features begin to reassert. Hence the mask. You ain’t foolin’ me, judge!
Are you serious Ian? A CO2 detector going off can be a life threatening thing. It sounds like the judge had everyone’s safety in mind. Only a criminal such as yourself would whine and cry about this. You obviously do not know anything about CO2 detectors as you convey in this article. We will have to see how you really act when your trial begins.
By the way, does your PO know you are leaving your residence to record these idiotic videos? Someone will have to check with your PO. Maybe me.
Gosh, Jacks. You’re such a badass sticking your nose into other people’s business and all. How do ya find the time for all this Karening, by the way – you owning all those rehabilitation centers and being a doctoral candidate and stuff I mean?
Anyway, how’ve ya been? Me? I ate some pancakes and sausage and then I read the news. You’ll never guess what I found out. Turns out the WHO’s looking set to declare the dreaded monkeypox as a global health emergency. Pretty scary, huh? Especially for Karl, him being particularly susceptible cuz he’s a homo and all.
You are the only one sticking your nose into my business. You are a pathetic slime.
I see what ya did there, Jacks. You’re accusing me of the same thing you’re doing in order to deflect blame away from yourself and stuff. Boy you’re good at this. Anyway, so what’re ya planning on doing to save us from the monkeypox? I’ll bet it’s gonna involve posting how scary it is here on Free Keene dot com, am I right? I can’t wait to read some of it. Remember when ya did all that for covid? The guys over here are still laughing about that. Of course that shit’s all over now, huh? Now you’re back to… Read more »
That isn’t what Ian was saying. The CO2 dector going off of safe amounts of CO2 (which umm duhh is in the air around us all the time) doesn’t result in life threatening situations. An excess amount might, but not the amount detected by this particular CO2 detector. The amount was far far far less than what it should have been set to and thus was going off because the levels were maybe 1/5 of what would constittue a point where the alarm should go off.
I just got DISMISSED from my court room!
So that’s good?
Maybe it was the bailiffs bad breath, which the alarm interpreted as co2
That was it I bet.
This video was super entertaining. The judge was stunned, momentarily speechless, and didn’t know what to say when she realized crazy footloose was right about not receiving an arraignment for new charges.
