This was the height of the counterculture in Vancouver. On August 7th 1971 the Youth International Party organized a smoke-in for marijuana legalization. Mayor Tom Campbell had a hardline on hippies. The mayor very much favoured a strong police response to the Smoke-In which was peaceful. In the end 79 people were arrested and 39 charged on that day.
