​A group of protesters smoked marijuana in downtown Boise, Idaho Saturday afternoon. Participants said they were lighting joints to make a point. They said smoking marijuana doesn’t hurt other people, so it should be legal.

“Cannabis is a victimless crime,” protest organizer Theresa Knox told Toke of the Town. “In my opinion, a crime punishable by outrageous prison terms, loss of children, loss of jobs, education and employment, is one that included a victim — someone who was negatively affected by the ‘crime,’ or harmed.” Boise Police claimed they found out about the event on MySpace. That’s how they knew the time and place it would happen. Still, no arrests were made.





​”When I go to my dealer’s house and buy a bag of pot, no one is harmed,” Knox, director of research and networking at Moms for Marijuana International, told us. “When I drive home with that pot in my car, no one is harmed. When I then smoke that pot in the comfort and privacy of my home — my castle — no one is harmed.”
