The stakes at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration are high, and the people attending it might be, too.
A marijuana legalization advocacy group said Wednesday it was planning on handing out thousands of joints during the Jan. 20 Washington, D.C. ceremony to raise support for efforts to legalize pot nationwide.
The group, called DCMJ, will hand out 4,200 joints at 8 a.m. near Dupont Circle, before marching over to the National Mall.
Participants will then engage in a token toking gesture of lighting up their blunts exactly four minutes and 20 seconds into Trump's inaugural speech, the group's founder said.
The number "420" is a buzzword in the cannabis community denoting the celebration of smoking marijuana, although its exact origins are disputed.
"We legalized cannabis in Washington, D.C. and we are not going to let anyone take that away from us!," the group wrote on its website. "This is an outreach opportunity to show President Trump's supporters we are the marijuana majority!"
Residents of Washington, D.C. voted in 2015 to legalize recreational marijuana, although city lawmakers have put in place tight restrictions on it use, including a ban on smoking in public spaces.
As a result, distributing the joints is legal, but those smoking them on federal property will risk arrest.

Gonna make America great again!
If Obama disappears from the stage for a while, at least we'll know where he is.
Conservatives should get one, then crush it out on the ground with their foot in front of the passer out and watch him pass out for real.
Did I miss the twitter that Trump declared he gave even the slightest f&$&@@&& about pot?
at least Sharia and Malaria will have something to do with dad during the speech...
~chuckle~ It’ll keep them pacified. Kinda like using a smoker on a beehive.
“Participants will then engage in a token toking gesture of lighting up their blunts exactly four minutes and 20 seconds into Trump’s inaugural speech, the group’s founder said.”
The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere.
Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal.
For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands.

Alrighty then. I think this is the way to go dudes. Get stoned and watch the most awesome display of making America great again that ever existed. Far out.

Pot is now prescribed for Trump Derangement Syndrome? Perhaps pot is also useful to fight off the symptoms of Hopium withdrawal and the disappointment that must be inherent in the cessation of the march towards Marxism.
I hope they do. Law enforcement will be heavy in the area.
Barry and Malia will be tokin’ on stage in front of the cameras because they can.
Is it true that you can, like, get money for turning in someone you know with drugs? Cuz, like, I wanna turn in KC_Conspirator.
Sadly, your bounty would be a fat zero. :(
It’s now legal to possess several ounces and give away pot in DC. So theoretically nothing would happen to those handing out joints.
However, it’s not legal to smoke in public
So you’re saying that canabis is now the “hopium” of the (leftist) people? I certainly know individuals who almost have made the weed a religion.
