http://globalcannabismarch.com/Home_Page.phpHistory of the
MILLION MARIJUANA MARCH
After 44 years of smoke-ins, rallies, pot festivals and demonstrations throughout America a lot of progress has been made in cannabis reform. There is still much more to do. With the dedication of a handful of cannabis activists and the momentous support of Cures-Not-Wars (NYC), a new direction was formed. Hundreds of thousands of have now marched together in hundreds of cities over the last decade.
The Global Cannabis March is an annual rally held at different locations across the planet. It refers to cannabis related events that occur on the first Saturday in May or thereabouts and may include marches, meetings, rallies, concerts, festivals and information tables. The march originated out of the 5th AVENUE POT PARADE in NYC. After ATLANTA, NYC & ANN ARBOR formed and promoted the 1st INTERNATIONAL MARIJUANA DAY, the idea for promoting a truly GLOBAL demonstration came to fruition.
The founding organizer since 1998, Dana Beal and his group CURES NOT WARS, along with other supporters from Cannabis Culture Magazine, High Times Magazine, C.A.M.P., Coalition for the Abolition of Marijuana Prohibition and now hundreds of cannabis reformers/organizers worldwide are promoting marches and events in their own cities.
The Million Marijuana March was born. ..............more at: http://globalcannabismarch.com/WE_CAN_DO_THIS_.html
