Marijuana enthusiasts marched up State Street to support the drug's legalization, smoke and listen to music during the 41st annual Great Midwest Marijuana Harvest Festival over the weekend.
According to one hemp bags vendor who wished to remain anonymous, the festival is a chance for activists to ""talk about the legalization of marijuana, the recreational use of marijuana and to prove the fact marijuana is not a dangerous drug like they say it is.""
Supporters and participants marched in a parade down State Street to witness the band Nama Rupa perform on the Capitol steps, which started at 4:20 p.m.
Bands, including Taki All Stars, Groovulous Glove and The Dave Band played in Library Mall Saturday and Sunday.
Vendors sold tobacco products, bags, incense, hemp bags and bongs to the public.
