Following yesterday’s video of a presentation by Pete Eyre, today Free Concord presents footage from the premiere of the director’s cut of Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree. The director’s cut is the street legal version of the film which appears on the recently released DVD, available through Amazon. While a theatrical release of the original cut of the film screened at Keene Cinemas in September, the February 22 screening at the Liberty Forum was the first public showing of the newer version. DVDs were also on hand for sale, which feature hours of bonus footage from related Shire activism. After the film, Derrick fielded questions from the audience.

Derrick J’s daily 5-minute newscast Peace News Now yesterday featured coverage of Free Concord’s footage from the cannabis legalization hearings Thursday at the legislative office building. The expertly produced video podcast features photo and video to illustrate audio overviewing the current state of peaceful resistance.

Yesterday the house Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee heard not just one, but two cannabis legalization bills, in addition to a decriminalization proposal. The hearing was populated with the usual bureaucrats and law enforcement busybodies, as well as a number of professionals, activists, and entrepreneurs speaking in favor. HB 492 presents a controlled, “tax and regulate” schema for cannabis distribution in New Hampshire. HB 337, if passed, would result in a much simpler legalization, only removing prohibitions from state law, making the substance just as legal and tomatoes, basil, and other plants and herbs. A decriminalization proposal, HB 621, would make possession of under an ounce punishable by no more than a $100 fine.
The Union Leader has published a summary. Video and written coverage has also been published regarding HB 492 at adventuresinthefreestate.com, which also links to other mainstream coverage of the historic hearing.
Embedded below is the first of many Free Concord videos in a playlist from the public testimony during HB 492 and HB 337.
In the spirit of the Franklin Youth Initiative, government school programs turned out schoolchildren in opposition to any leniency upon the cannabis consumer plague.
While heading out of town on Route 9 to testify at some state house committee hearings, David, Darryl and I were pulled over by Keene police Sgt. Jason Short. Short had noticed the yellow Shire license plate on the back of the peace cruiser, pulled us, and proceeded to pore over his book of NH RSAs to see with what he could charge me.
He really couldn’t find anything, since the car is legally registered in Wisconsin to a corporation, so he wrote me a ticket for allegedly being a “resident” and not getting a NH driver’s license (more…)
