By 7:59 AM on Friday, the line for DCMJ’s #Trump420 free pot handout stretched four blocks away from Dupont Circle. Though DCMJ had advertised that it would be handing out 4,200 free joints, leading up to the event, the organizers and volunteers ended up rolling 5,500 joints. With additional donations the morning of the handout—one volunteer, Elayne Burke, tells Washingtonian that someone walked up to her and handed her a cigarette carton of “beautifully rolled” joints—Burke estimates that DCMJ and the DC Cannabis Coop Club volunteers had over 8,000 joints to give out.
Police officers were parked across the street from the handout at 8:45, but they didn’t make a move to interfere with the event.
“They’re good…as long as everybody stays safe,” an officer told Washingtonian.
