UK: Picnic on the grass to feature open defiance of cannabis laws

Western Morning News

Friday 26 Sep 2014

Members of a club dedicated to the smoking of cannabis are to hold a picnic with a difference tomorrow when they will smoke the drug in public as an act of protest.

Around 250 members of the Devon Cannabis Club are expected to turn up to the organisation's annual Harvest Picnic at Flowerpot Playing Fields in Exeter between 2pm and 6pm.

Last year a similar protest was held in Exeter that was attended by around 60 cannabis users.

This year's event is being promoted on facebook and the page states: "Come and join us for a picnic and to consume herb to lift the blanket of stigma and these ridiculous laws."

Daryl Sullivan, South West regional administrator for The United Kingdom Cannabis Social Clubs, said: “Our aim is to raise awareness of the benefits of cannabis and to address the bias and misinformation so often seen in the mainstream media.

“To this end we have, for the past two years, been holding public protest picnics around the country.

“These are gatherings where people get together and openly smoke cannabis to prove that it can be done sensibly and without harm to anyone, and to show the absurdity of its illegal status."
