Lastly, do you have a message for David Cameron?
[2]
We're not fucking stupid.
[4]
This is a new England, and it's our England.
[7]
Where ganja and rough chicks will exist, and righteousness will exist.
[10]
That's my message to the people.
[23]
Possession of cannabis is illegal.
[25]
Despite the best efforts of Howard Marx, Professor David Nutt and Zane from One Direction.
[30]
This sinister herb remains banned throughout much of the western world.
[34]
It was Labour who first upgraded it to a class B drug,
[37]
the Tories have kept it on the naughty step
[39]
and even the Lib Dems feel we should only get wavy for medicinal purposes.
[43]
We're in Hyde Park for Britain's 4/20 celebrations.
[47]
In the run up to the election it feels especially political
[49]
Do of the estimated 6% of Britons or chuff the oregano dream pipe
[54]
feel that their views are going to be taken in to consideration?
[56]
And as you can see the police are getting some early numbers on the scoreboard here.
[61]
Why so many cops at Speaker's Corner?
[65]
It's not about the weed, it's trying to stop Speaker's Corner.
[69]
It's the cops encroaching on spies territory.
[72]
You fucking pigs!
[74]
Hardened criminals down for a night in chokey.
[78]
We're not saying that drugs are safe
[81]
we're not advocating a free-for-all, you know, we're not saying
[83]
tomorrow that all drugs should be legal and that everyone should
[86]
take them, and all the rest of it, no,
[87]
what we're saying is that some drugs are safer than others,
[90]
and that should obviously be reflected in the law.
[93]
Who are your picks for Election 2015?
[96]
Me!
[97]
Cause if I ruled this country, yeah, you could smoke bare piff, and get loud!
[104]
4/20, know what I'm saying?
[108]
Come to promote the legalisation of the herbs.
[111]
Is this a political act to you?
[113]
It's more social for me.
[114]
I think people decide on law,
[117]
so, I mean, as you can see the amount of people that are here, supporting the cause.
[121]
Go to Camden man, it's like 4/20 every day there,
[122]
It's like 4/20 every day there.
[123]
You can just smoke weed and blow it in the police's face anyway man.
[126]
No one gives a shit.
[129]
Well, the police are over there,
[131]
they're on the lookout for law breaking marijuana smokers.
[136]
I could point them towards a few over there,
[139]
but I'm no snitch.
[142]
I mean, UKIP and the Greens are the only two parties who are pro-marijuana in the polls.
[148]
ULIP are chatting shit, yeah, and the Green Party, they're all really green, innit, of
[153]
course they love green.
[154]
Natalie Bennet said that she found marijuana quite unpleasant.
[159]
What would you recommend to make her experience more pleasant?
[162]
What I would recommend to her to make her smoking experience a lot better is
[165]
try hitting it through a bong, hitting it through a bong is so much
[168]
smoother on the flow and doesn't kill you off as much.
[170]
Is there a correlation between marijuana and not voting?
[173]
A lot of non-voters probably do smoke weed, but,
[175]
that's the thing, that's the thing, like,
[177]
if you want to sit at home smoking weed all day, doing nothing,
[182]
then fuck you, innit?
[183]
But if you've got medical terms and conditions, yeah?
[186]
Then you've got to back it fam, I'll back it.
[190]
What would you recommend for Nick Clegg?
[193]
What would you think his preferred method of cannabis ingestion would be?
[196]
Who's Nick Clegg?
[198]
He's the sideman.
[200]
What would you recommend for Ed Miliband?
[205]
Ed looks like he smokes weed already to be honest.
[207]
He has those very heavily lidded eyes, doesn't he?
[211]
He does.
[212]
EVeryone vote Ed, he already gets high.
[215]
Come on a zoot with us mate!
[217]
If politics were a tree, what sort of tree would it be?
[220]
A big, fat, cannabis plant.
[222]
It should just be one big fat cannabis plant.
[224]
If Ed Miliband were a tree, what sort of tree would he be?
[227]
Yeah, word, a shit stick cuz, stick stick innit, a shit stick.
[231]
If David Cameron were a tree, what sort of tree would he be?
[236]
A prick.
[237]
Well, we're in the eye of the storm here, the epicentre of the green hurricane,
[241]
and I have to admit to feeling a little bit hazy.
[244]
I'm not sure if it is all the marijuana, I did take a few evening primrose oil tablets
[249]
this morning, it might be that, but,
[252]
it's now coming up to a quarter past 4 and,
[254]
well, you could cut the tension with a hot knife.
[261]
A little booing going on and I think perhaps someone has tried to rack up a line of coke.
[265]
He's racing.
[266]
Is it just you lot?
[267]
I'm a big guy, I'm a big guy/
[271]
It's a bull running through here.
[273]
Big Narstie appears to be racing people through the park.
[277]
This day has gone from marijuana straight in to surrealism without any Pink Floyd in
[283]
between.
[285]
Right, we've just heard that it is 4/20 now and
[292]
I am about to be surrounded by hundreds of law breakers, if not thousands.
[297]
One's cheese and one's haze.
[299]
Is this cheese?
[300]
That's definitely haze.
[303]
Come on, this is a real thing, we're wavy right, cannabis is a good thing.
[314]
Well the 4/20 protests are drawing to their natural stoned conclusion
[318]
just behind me with the police mopping up.
[321]
It's been a very fun day.
[322]
It would be easy to mock these sorts of things,
[326]
with their Cartman bongs and hemp leggings, but, you know,
[328]
with 3 of the 5 major parties now in favour of some kind of marijuana legalisation
[335]
it does seem that the green tide is turning in our new multi-party system.
