I watched a procession of protesters streaming across Pioneer Courthouse Square, chanting something like “Hemp NOW! NOW Hemp!”, and singing something like “We like hemp, yes we do.”

Standing at the corner, yelling into this mix, was a small group of Christian fundamentalists. I think they were yelling a chant akin to “You will burn in Hell! Jesus Saves! Ezekial 3:17!”

All of this was, perhaps, par for the course. I saw a sign that suggested it was part of the “Million Hemp March”, a joke if there ever was one considering the size of the crowd — large, I suppose, so far as these things go. But what I couldn’t figure out for the life of me…

At the end of the procession, there was what appeared to be a dragon. Why?
