Legalize it!
Me and my friend went on the "legalise cannabis" march, back in whenever it was. It was sponsored by the Independent (please don't die on us Indy!) and the lion in Trafalgar Square had a big joint sticking out of its fearsome jaws.
The fat one out of friends was cheering on the parade from his hotel window, and there was no chance of a riot, everyone was too stoned.
When the march got to Trafalgar Square everyone sat down and listened to the speakers. I can't remember who they were but one of them was Irish and urged us to "fock the police".
We had brought sandwiches and had everything we needed for a cannabis protest on a hot summer's day, apart from some cannabis. So we asked a couple of teenage girls if we could buy some. We were in our mid 20s and the girls were about 14, so this was shameful in itself. But then we started having a bit of a smoke, and one of the girls said "thank God there are people here making a difference". My friend and I looked at each other and started laughing, and laughing, and laughing. The girl and her friend were just staring at us in bewilderment. We laughed so much we were crying and had to lie down, but still didn't stop. We only stopped when my friend suddenly choked, and puked on himself. The girls went off on their way and we made our way home.
