Freaky fest in Olympia

Submitted by Rick on Sun, 08/28/2005 - 6:39pm.

The annual hempfest came to Olympia today, and everyone was looking very freaky. There were many booths selling barely legal paraphernalia. (Three kids actually asked me if I would buy a bong for them, which is kind of odd, 'cause I look pretty straight). There was also music, but I noticed that not many people were dancing. It looked a little sad and empty. Here's a bunch more pictures from a person (a bit paranoid, I might add) who attended the fest.

photo sharing is cool

i looked at the photos from hempfest, and those led me to the photo sharing site, Flickr. Interesting site, check it out!

Hempfest

I think it is a shame that we don't have more interest in hemp than we saw at Hempfest. I am not much interested in making marijuana legal. but I am interested in the government making hemp legal to grow. It is a great product with many uses. I would like to see more mainline people advocating for its legalization. We could stop cutting down trees for paper if we made our paper using the hemp plant. Its a renewable source. It grows like a weed.
