The president of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps has been arrested twice in front of federal buildings. In 2009, he planted hemp seeds on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's lawn to protest a ban on domestic cultivation of the plant. In 2012, he milled hemp oil in a metal cage outside the White House. "DEAR MR. PRESIDENT," said a sign atop the cage, "LET U.S. FARMERS GROW HEMP!" Police and firefighters had to cut open the steel cage with a chain saw before arresting him.
