Pitted-olive enthusiast Dennis! Kucinich will join other illustrious speakers like Wayward Bill of the United States Marijuana Party, folks from “Moms for Marijuana” and “Gramma’s for Ganja,” and “Stinkbud” from High Times Magazine at Seattle’s “Hempfest” this weekend.

The PD reports Seattle mayor Mike McGinn will also be there, but he’s the least credible of the group.

As Dennis! has undoubtedly reminded you, the GOP might be targeting his district in the upcoming redistricting that will leave Ohio with two fewer congressional seats. But redistricting is bo-ring, and Washington state is adding a congressional seat, and Dennis! likes to flirt. So, off he will go again to the west coast to talk about marijuana.

(Credit where credit is due for comprehensive research by the PD: they cited crowd estimates via The Weed Blog.)

Dennis!, it should be noted, has said that he’s never smoked marijuana, but that he’s in favor of decriminalizing it. So, no, Dennis! isn’t high when he says all those crazy things.

Vince Grzegorek has been with Scene since 2007 and editor-in-chief since 2012. He previously worked at Discount Drug Mart and Texas Roadhouse.

  1. Greetings Congressman Kucinich!!

    If I can I would like to help your effort amd make a gift to the good people of Seattle.
    The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) and the Children of Berea, Ohio would like to donate a Peace Stones from the Worlds Children Peace Monument to the children in Seattle to assist in the iceality of promoting a sustainable global Culture of Peace and Goodwill.
    I believe that every child has a right to live in Peace.

    I thought this comment might appeal to you and you could help get the word out to civic leaders (especially in Ohio) !!

    There is no cost to the city except to find a suitable public location for the Peace Stone sculpture.

    The Stones are approximately 3 to 4 ft square and weight about 300 lbs are indestructible (vandal proof) and erects in a few hours…..(NOTE: specific Peace Stones will be designated as part of the coast-to-coast Great American Peace Trail)

    If this is something you would like to pursue, please have one of your staff contact me directly to expedite delivery to the west coast.

    Thank you for your time.
    Peace Friend,
    Ambassador Renate
    ICEA

  2. Funny thing about me being mentioned with Dennis Kucinich is that I am an expatriate Buckeye from Youngstown. Small world being made smaller everyday with the truth coming out about the “weed!” The truth being that everything ever said or printed about marijuana by “our” government is a lie. The dominos are going to tumble in 2012. ARE YOU READY FOR THE RE-LEGALIZATION OF CANNABIS…Join us as we march toward the past and bring reform to the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act of 1937.
    Peace, Pot, Politics,
    Wayward Bill Chengelis
    President, United States Marijuana Party
