Watch: 420 Protester Jesse Willesee & His Parents Talk About His Sentencing

After leading the 420 protest and smoking a joint in front of police on the steps of Sydney’s Town Hall last month, activist Jesse Willesee was obviously arrested. Today, he was called to attend court. 
Our video of Jesse being arrested reached over 1 million views, which makes it pretty damn clear that a lot people care about this issue (you clicked on the link, didn’t ya?), so we decided to get a little more information from him. We wanted to know a little more about his reasons for protesting, his medical relationship with marijuana, and what his parents thought of his arrest. 
Jesse spoke to us before his court appearance, decked out in a t-shirt that we don’t particularly agree with (but we appreciate the gesture), waggling a bottle of Fiji water like he owns shares in the company. We also got to speak to him after his sentencing, walking arm in arm with his conservative but supportive dad, and his adorable, bra-burning mum. 
Enjoy:
p.s. Sorry for saying you looked like you shit yourself Jesse.
