SEATTLE -- More than 150,000 denizens of the Northwest will gather this weekend in a waterfront park for Hempfest, billed as the largest promarijuana gathering in the country, to listen to speeches from the biggest names in the national drug-law reform movement between band sets and bong hits.
But this year, attendees will hear an explicitly partisan message, too: Organizers are pushing pot smokers to help elect Senator John F. Kerry president.
The size of Hempfest indicates the potential power of the pro-pot vote, particularly in the Northwest, reformers said.

Sounds like a great place for a DEA raid.
pot---john, one and the same.
Minds I've addled just love Kerry!
That fits! Drugged out Dems.
No worries. Come November, most of them will be too wrapped up in hackysack or Scooby-Doo reruns to remember to vote. (or eat, or sleep, or bathe...)
Radical Homosexuals endorse Kerry.
Korean Kim endorses Kerry.
PotHeads endorse Kerry.
Movie stars endorse Kerry.
I'm starting to see a trend here...
Happy Happy Joy Joy!
So how much dope did you smke in your heady anti-war days Senator? I'm sure there were big pot parties with Tom Hayden, Hanoi Jane and the rest of the crazy crewe...
It's a modern day thang as well. Peter Lewis is a big donor to Moveon.org along with George Soros. Peter is a huge enthusiast of the herb and also a large supporter of NORML. Or whatever the doper group is.
good point. using the pot and going to the john are pretty much the same thing, aren't they.
Kerry just shored up the libertarian vote. All 3 of them.

LOL so hard I can hardly catch my breath...
Kerry/Edwards.....our dope for your vote.
Dude! This is so awesome!
DUDE, you are really harshing my mellow!!
As if the Dems would ever give up the War On Some Drugs either - it would take too much power away from the State.
Liberals are idiots. "Useful Idiots", that is.
Actually, libertarians that I know LOATHE Kerry. There's no statist pig like a left-liberal statist pig. (No insult to our porcine friends intended - they're quite tasty) Hard Libertarians may be idealistic, but regular (small-L) libertarians aren't fools.
