<p>Protesters gathered outside the White House on Saturday to smoke marijuana, claiming it should no longer be considered dangerous.</p>
<p>They came armed with flags, signs and, of course, a giant inflatable spliff.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the secret service swooped in before the 51ft joint made it to the doors of the White House, stopping it being displayed over security concerns.</p>
<p>In fact, perhaps unsurprisingly due to their, ahem, relaxed state of mind, the activists were described as “very respectful” by one sergeant.</p>
<p>Despite public smoking of weed being illegal in the US capital, police made no arrests at the event. Possession of up to 2oz (56 grams) is legal, however.</p>
<p>Protest organisers say President Barack Obama should remove pot from the list of Schedule 1 controlled substances, which includes heroin and other addictive drugs.</p>
<p>Mr Obama has maintained that pot advocates should try to lobby Congress to pass a bill reclassifying the drug.</p>
