Marches are underway across the land, as hundreds of thousands of people are showing their support for the movement to finally end marijuana prohibition.
In honor of this great day, here’s a lovely infographic showing the negative costs of the ineffectual policies drug prohibition, and what could be gained by finally freeing the weed. (The stats pertain to America, but are equally applicable to any nation choosing to fight the war on drugs.) (more…)
Occupy is back! Not that it really went away… t’was just a mild hibernation over winter. Now, with Mother Nature being a little more hospitable, the uprising can switch back into high gear, louder and stronger than ever before!
To kick off this season’s social uprising, scores of protesters retook the famed Zuccotti park, aka Liberty Square, after which dozens were arrested. During the march up to the square, NYPD callously smashed a medics head into reinforced glass, breaking the glass and probably the medic’s skull (video above).
With greater numbers filling tighter-knit communities, weekly marches on Wall Street being planned, and numerous Occupy-related events being held all the time, 2012 has all the makings for a glorious year of revolution!
Man, what an awesome time to be alive!
This Saturday, May 1 2010, will be the Global Marijuana March, held in every major city around the world.
We march to protest the prohibition of Marijuana. On Saturday, we will speak out to free the weed. This blight on humankind – drug prohibition – has got to stop.
Even if you don’t smoke pot, you can still come out and let your voice be heard. These marches are often a big party and lots of fun so come out and support the wondrous plant known as Marijuana.
Here’s a clip from Vancouver 2008 pot rally:
