Summary: Does anyone remember the anti-drug commercials a few years back that basically equated smoking weed with being a terrorist? As if a bunch of stoned people were really the big problem here, and we should bring 'em down! Today march for the the legalization of marijuana and support those that use it for medical purposes at the Global Marijuana March. The day begins at 11am at Mercer and Washington Streets with a forum, followed by a free speach rally at Broadway and Houston, at 1pm march to Battery Park, and finish out the day with a rally and festival in the park. Now kids let me warn you, somethign called "Global Marijuna March" is bound to be policed very strongly by New Yorks finest as well as undercovers, so don't be using your one phone call to say I did't warn you!
