DC Cannabis Coalition Vows To Hand Out Free Joints On Inauguration Day

Looking for something to take the edge off this Inauguration Day? Well, despite conventional wisdom, a trip to our nation's capital could be just the answer. In a very hazy attempt at civil disobedience and organized noise-making, The DC Cannabis Coalition has vowed to hand out 4,200 pre-rolled joints at The National Mall upon president-elect Cheeto's vow-taking ceremony.

If this seems like a bad idea on face value alone, that's because you're thinking clearly. While DC is technically one of the few US provinces with legal weed legislation in place, it is also one of the most strictly-enforced and predictably-rigid testing grounds for responsible recreation use, with the sale of flower and/or concentrate still being forbidden and what amounts to a zero-tolerance policy on consumption in public spaces. Again, DCCC is not planning on selling anything. These will be free-for-all cones for those who seek them, and the group intends to get the smoke show started bright and early at 8am on the west side of Dupont Circle where they'll meet with fellow enthusiasts for coffee and tea before heading down to The National Mall.

And if no one stops them (they absolutely will,) DCCC plans on blessing the air with those 4,200 joints at precisely four minute and twenty seconds into Trump's inauguration speech. Go fucking figure.
