Happy Munkey Hits The Biden Inauguration

Last month the Happy Munkey Crew trekked below the Mason-Dixon to celebrate the inauguration of President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris. Ignoring calls from government officials to stay home and avoid the monumental ceremony, we channeled one of Happy Munkey’s founding principles, “No Guts, No Glory”. While we do not fully affirm the agendas of the new administration surrounding cannabis, we felt it was of the utmost importance to be in D.C. on Inauguration Day to remind the new administration and the world, that the cannabis community is watching and plans to hold them accountable! Especially following the White supremacist terrorist attack on the U.S. Capital on January 6th myself and the Happy Munkey team felt that virtually tuning in was not enough, we had to go and represent in person! So we packed our bags, made a few signs, rolled up joints of the Zaza, and headed to Washington D.C.!

Ordinarily we would have headed straight to the National Mall, however due to the uptick in security the entire Mall and surrounding streets were closed and gated off to the public. Not knowing what the National Guard lockdown would look like we parked our car at DC Metro Park and Ride and took the train into Dupont Circle. When getting off the Metro, I was surprised how few people there were walking about. I have spent a lot of time in DC and never in my life have I seen the Capital city as empty as it was on Inauguration Day. While I would love to give you all the play by play, to better understand and capture the energy of the day I am going to leave it to Happy Munkey’s very own Rafael to fill you in during his Blunt Walk.
