With glass pipes and odd-smelling cigarettes, protesters have taken to Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Manchester, lighting up at 4:20 p.m. daily, the same time as do protesters in downtown Keene.
Participants yesterday said they started the effort Sept. 28, a week after the daily smoke-ins began in Keene. They say they light up to protest marijuana laws.
“There’s laws, and they shouldn’t be here. So many have tried to work within the system to change the laws, begging bureaucrats. But it never works,” said Travis Eden, a 24-year-old who lives in Manchester and works in information technology.
Eden said a video of him selling marijuana is posted on the FreeKeene Web site. (more…)
The daily 4:20 cannabis celebrations have stepped up again and now some nice smoking implements are being brought out! I’ve seen all kinds of things being toked – someone even brought out a hookah recently here in Keene! The celebrations have continued with no police hassles for over a week now – hopefully KPD will keep doing the right thing and spend their time investigating real crimes that have victims. Here’s some more footage from Manchester’s 4:20 cannabis celebrations:
The election is tomorrow. Here are the voting locations and times, courtesy of the Sentinel. Remember that anyone can register to vote immediately prior to voting here in NH. If you plan on voting, please vote for Nick Ryder for at-large city council and write in Ian Bernard for mayor. Even though Nick will make it to the general election regardless of what happens tomorrow, it’s my understanding that if he gets the most votes in the primary, he’ll be listed at the top of the general election ballot. Also, with ten write-in votes (presuming another write-in candidate doesn’t garner more), they are supposed to put my name on the ballot. Of course I’ll be continuing to campaign as “Nobody”, but they won’t allow that on. Also, I expect they will continue to attempt to keep me off the ballot even if I do get write-in votes (as they are attempting to unregister me to vote), but go ahead and write Ian Bernard in anyway – we’ll see what happens!
