Marijuana Marches Set for Saturday in More Than 200 Cities Worldwide
---
On Saturday, tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of marijuana
aficionados and supporters will take to the streets of more than 200
towns and cities around the globe in the annual Million Marijuana March
pro-legalization demonstrations. Long coordinated by veteran New York
City marijuana (and ibogaine) activist Dana Beal and his organization
Cures Not Wars ( http://cures-not-wars.org/ ), and lately joined by
Canadian "Prince of Pot" Marc Emery and Cannabis Culture magazine (
http://www.cannabisculture.com/ ), the marches are now in their fourth
decade.
Marches or other events will take place in most major North American and
European cities, as well as numerous smaller towns and cities,
especially college towns like Asheville, Boulder, and Chapel Hill. Latin
America will also be represented, with rallies set for Buenos Aires and
other Argentine cities, Lima, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, and
Sao Paulo. Kingston, Jamaica, will also be on the marijuana map this
year. Capetowners will march in South Africa, and marches are scheduled
for cities in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Israel as well.
Check out the complete list of cities (

and then go out and exercise your rights. The Chronicle will be covering
the event in San Francisco, and we will have scene reports from around
the world next week.
