May 19, 2013 - "On May 18, talk radio host and civil rights activist Adam Kokesh was arrested during a marijuana legalization protest in Philadelphia, Pa.

"The event, known as Smoke Down Prohibition V, has been a monthly event in Philadelphia since February, with an initial event in December 2012. The events feature music and public speakers, and are intended to be peaceful demonstrations against drug laws....
