420 day is here, and in light of the fact that it's still very illegal to smoke or possess cannabis in Australia, a pop-up protest with a difference has emerged.

 

A retail storefront featuring hydroponic weed showed up on Thursday in Sydney's Kings Cross and rather bold protest slash installation got the internet collective tongue wagging.

 

"Who are we hurting?" asks the signs on the storefront sign, while inside, trestle tables housed what appear to be nine cannabis plants growing in pots.

 

Organised by a group called the Craze Collective and Ballin On A Budget TV, the grow room has been leased until the end of the month, according to a spokesperson.

 

 

"Situated in the heart of the Australian city killed by alcohol fuelled violence our purpose is to demonstrate that the new wave of stoners are successful and to spark debate regarding the inadequate laws turning them into criminals," the spokesperson adds.

 

 

If you're hoping to visit it, authorities have (unsurprisingly) already raided the location. But plot twist! It turns out the plants weren't even the real thing.

 

"Police attended the premises to investigate the alleged hydro set up at a shopfront at Kings Cross. As the plants were not cannabis there was no further police action," a New South Wales Police spokesperson said.

 

Got your attention, though, didn't it?

It's a great stunt, got your protest in the media. I hate PETA and their lies, but they ace manipulating the media to sell their distorted agenda - you sure got your message talked about. Good work!
