The first Smoke In was held in February 1967 in upstate New York by Michael Aldridge but it did not receive much press attention. In June 1967 Dana Beal and the New York Provos held the second smoke in in Tompkins Square Park. Due to several arrests this demonstration received considerable press. Beal went underground in January 1968 but the Smoke Ins continued just as they do today as evidenced by the above photo of 10,000 Smoke Inners in Boulder on April 20, 2008. Now we focus on the medicinal properties of pot. JOIN US on SATURDAY May 3, 2008 at high noon in Tompkins Square Park as we march to the United Nations demanding it adopt a sane drug policy.
