US: Dozens March For Marijuana Reform
---
BAKERSFIELD -- Dozens of people demonstrated in downtown Bakersfield
Saturday, calling for the legalization of marijuana.
Carrying signs saying "I'm a stoner and I vote" and "Cannabis is safer
than alcohol", supporters walked from Beach Park to the Liberty Bell
where they held a rally.

Demonstrators argue since California voters passed Proposition 215,
which allows the consumption of marijuana for medicinal purposes more
than ten years ago, federal authorities should have no right to raid
legal dispensaries. Drug enforcement agents seized several pounds of pot
Tuesday at a dispensary in Oildale, and say federal law making marijuana
illegal supersedes the state law.
Some supporters say the federal government should legalize weed and
impose taxes on weed to generate millions, if not billions of dollars in
tax revenue.
