Thanks Paul

July 3, 1978, I arrived at my first cannabis event, the White House Smoke-In, a Yippie! event, one week after my 18th birthday. The 3rd was a "bust-in" in Lafayette Park in front of the White House. The idea was to provoke the police to arrest us all for smoking ma*****na. There were about 5,000 of us. The police were aligned in rows of 10 alternating on motorcycles and 10 on horseback on both sides of the street between us and the White House. We chanted "bust us" (knowing they lacked the resources to arrest us all), among other chants. The next day was the smoke-in concert between the Lincoln Memorial & the Washington Monument. I met Dana Beal, Gatewood Galbraith, Ben Masel and Dr. Tod Mikuriya there, people who are among my mentors.
