Nine years ago a high-school dropout and daily
pot smoker attended his first Hempfest. That
teenager, Dominic Holden, got involved
and helped turn a backwater hippie smoke-out into
the largest marijuana-law reform rally in the world;
last year's crowd swelled to 175,000. Holden doesn't
smoke pot anymore, but putting down the bong
didn't quell his interest in drug-law reform
in the slightest. Hannah Levin talks to the
26-year-old activist as he and his fellow organizers
prepare for this weekend's Hempfest.
