The Seattle Hempfest in the summer of 2006. Hempfest is an annual festival held in Seattle. Its purpose is to promote the legalization of (medical) marijuana and drug reform. Please feel free to comment and discuss this controversial issue.

Note: I do not necessarily agree or disagree with the topic at hand. I just went to Hempfest to document and experience what it is like. I’ve never done any illegal drug in my life before and I am not particularly passionate or educated in this area of politics. But I would still love to hear some feed back from what you think.

Note: this version of this video came out looking weird, with blobby streaks in the picture at times. I’m not totally sure why this happened. If you want to see a better version, go to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=984519452607769498
