‘Pot-smoking agitators’ injure Republican lawmaker

Published October 4, 2018 11:31am ET



Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., said he was injured this week when “aggressive, pot-smoking agitators” burst into his Capitol Hill office to protest his opposition to legal recreational marijuana.

“They attempted to shove open a private door, throwing their shoulders into it and injuring my wrist in the process (thank goodness not seriously),” he said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. “Some from the crowd were arrested. Also thankfully, my staff and innocent bystanders weren’t injured. But it could have been much worse.”
