An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Mohandas Gandhi
Thought you guys would like that

Actually, protesting by breaking the law is very effective. That was the point behind lunch-counter sit-ins and freedom rides. When police arrest the lawbreaking protesters it makes the police (and hence the law) look bad. If police do not arrest them, it shows that no harm comes to society from the law being broken. Also, widespread breaking of a law makes what enforcement remains appear arbitrary and harsh, which turns opinion further against the law, as occured with alcohol prohibition.

Weed will become legal now because of people trying to get arrested (sarcasm). Also, notice the baby stroller right by them at the bus stop. Even in the event weed became legal, you still should not smoke around kids.

I am not from NH but I can say by observing your published videos your group is hypocritical and does nothing more than create issues to victimize yourselves you all look foolish and because of you I will never step foot in your state. Freestarters. Your organization or group is overzealous the only thing we see here is cameramen and narrators creating the pettiest conflicts from nothing just to have a reason to cry. You cause all the conflict you report you fail to report the facts.

I bet the really bad pigs (DEA, BATFE, IRS) will be moving pig reinforcements into NH now.
Another thing to do would be to show up one at a time to get arrested (to ensure the arrest of some people), and video them from far away. Then, have more and more people show up at the scene of the arrest who are smoking and carrying .762 rifles. Have the police arrest them, one by one, or make a mockery of the arrest of the first one.
Remain peaceful, but show them numbers that raise questions.

"Having a federal ban an cannabis is clearly illegal."
Er, it's illegal? Are you sure that's the word you want to use?
Okay, then who should be arrested for it?

their is no federal justification to ban any substance. That junk "act" from the 1970s is easily unconstitutional. The interstate commerce clause does not give the federal government the power to make any substance illegal. That power; as the tenth amendment clearly states, is reserved to the states. Having a federal ban an cannabis is clearly illegal, and in the case of industrial hemp 100% irrational. If a state government wants to have it legal it is well with its right to do so.
