Pot Smokers Assault Republican Congressman in His Office

Demonstrators pushed through office door of Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), according to a series of tweets from Huffington Post reporter Jennifer Bendery. Fox News reporter Chad Pergram tweeted that two female protesters “from the pro-cannabis legalization group the ‘Dank City Growers’ got into a scuffle” with Harris, reports NTK Network.

They were also smoking marijuana, according to the police Bendery spoke to.

Harris was attempting to hold his door closed when demonstrators burst through and began assaulting him. No injuries were reported from the incident.

Harris has been labeled an anti-pot lawmaker by Rolling Stone.
