Canada: Pot smokers rally for ... um ... what?
---
There was lots of weed on the grass at Queen's Park yesterday.
As many as 15,000 pot users crammed the lawn north of the legislature
building for the Toronto Freedom Festival and the cornerstone event --
the ninth-annual Global Marijuana March.
"I feel cannabis should be completely legalized in our society," said a
19-year-old from Guelph who identified himself as Herb Merkel. "It
should be controlled like tobacco or alcohol."
Yesterday's event also included speakers touching on issues like
legalizing prostitution and the Committee to Memorialize the Abolition
of the Slave Trade.
"I support every one here and all the issues," said Gavin Kinross, 17.
You dream it. We have it.
There were no reports of any arrests.
