hempfest2011 SEATTLE HEMPFEST THE MOVIE PART 1 – MUSIC BY: SINIMA BEATS (SNN BEATS)

Hempfest started 20 years ago in 1991 when a humble gathering of supporters came together to peacefully protest the government’s prohibition of marijuana. Every year the protesters have returned in solidarity seeking a change in the nation’s marijuana policy. Hempfest grew exponentially in size from some 500 attendees in 1991 to an expected crowd topping 300,000 people this year.

Over the past 20 years, Hempfest has proved to have a profound impact on the region’s marijuana policy. Washington passed medical marijuana legislation in 1998. Seattle made marijuana the lowest police priority within the city in 2001. Seattle has stated that they will no longer prosecute simple possession cases in 2008. And this year, Washington State approved patient cannabis gardens and the City of Seattle passed an ordinance allowing for cannabis collectives.
