Cannabis activists paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue with flags, banners, a 51-foot inflatable joint, and a plan to get high at 4:20 p.m. two years ago in a last-ditch bid to convince President Barack Obama to administratively legalize marijuana.
Attendees blew smoke through a shofar, took selfies, and reveled in a communal cloud as police watched, but the rally didn't sway Obama, who left office with pot still a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning illegal for any purpose outside limited research.

Gardner told a group of Washington Examiner journalists Wednesday that the legislation was 80 percent complete, and spokesman Casey Contres said Thursday that hes almost finished with a bill to protect states rights to determine for themselves how best to address marijuana.
An activist who met with Gardners staff Thursday said the draft bill currently takes a limited approach, carving out autonomy for states without comprehensive reform of federal drug law.
Its going to be a fairly short bill that protects states that have medical or recreational programs, said Jonathan Lubecky, veterans and governmental affairs liaison at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, or MAPS.
