IDAHO FALLS - There have been many protests around the country lately, but the one in Idaho Falls Monday was a little bit different.
Some protesters have been seen around town on street corners trying to pass the knowledge they say they have about marijuana.
They call themselves the 420 Soldiers and they were holding up signs letting drivers know some of the "benefits" of marijuana.
They say legalizing marijuana could help relieve prison populations, give the government another crop to tax and there are many paper uses for hemp.
They say that they are not just smoking it for fun but they also believe that marijuana could help in our current economic crisis.
"We're not trying to tell everybody they need to smoke marijuana. One of our models is to pass the knowledge. And we are just trying to pass the knowledge on to people so they understand that it can help our economy, we got too many people in prison right now for marijuana, and it's not a crime it's just a plant." says the organizer Vintino Brugetti.
The group did see some signs of support from a few drivers. Though police were called several times today by drivers thinking they were posing a driving hazard.
