CBC: The 1971 Vancouver Pot Protest

POT TV – The CBC takes a look at the first 420 protest.

The Grasstown Smoke-In was a peaceful show of collective freedom. The event swelled from a number of activists demanding their right to use cannabis into thousands of people celebrating in a park, and police attacked. Unlike riots fueled by alcohol, cannabis-centered events are typically peaceful.

For more information on the Grasstown Riots including first-hand accounts, previous anniversaries, and panel discussions, keep in touch with PotTV.
