Boston Phoenix: MassCann's 20th Freedom Rally relatively free from arrests

Boston Phoenix

"The whole day was amazing for a lot of reasons," says MassCann board member Mike Cann.

"I definitely saw people blazing near cops who didn't say anything," says Boston weed-rap czar DJ Slim, who performed tracks from his album Hemp Hits. Adds Cann: "It was an improvement from the past, but we still had issues with police searching bags. They had a tent where they were detaining people, and at one point they even got the horn player from The Force. A lot of people saw it as harassment — or at least a waste of resources."
