By Ted Smith

One of the craziest Hempology 101 meetings we ever held was in June 2001 at City Hall when the Victoria Police Department was determined to start arresting participants and causing chaos.  When I made this video blog I had forgotten about the video made that night by Tyler MacDonald and it is our great fortune that he still has it so it is included with my story explaining the situation.  Luckily this was the only night in over 12 years that the police arrested anyone at our events, except for the two guys we actually sent to jail for harassing me but those are stories for another day.
