A longtime New Jersey weed activist is suing Trenton’s mayor, claiming city police harassed him after he started projecting a sign onto City Hall that says the local government “sucks.”

Ed “NJ Weedman” Forchion claims the harassment by Trenton police began in March when officers started issuing him tickets for keeping his restaurant open late, though he said he was in compliance with the law.
