| Info: | PRESS RELEASE June 3, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 5TH – CANADIANS TO ‘FILL THE HILL’ TO REPEAL MARIJUANA PROHIBITION Contact: Jody Pressman, Event Coordinator: 613-829-9239 E-mail: info@fillthehill.ca Web: [ www.fillthehill.ca ] OTTAWA – The Freedom March Organizing Committee has invited all Canadians to Fill Parliament Hill on June 5th, 2004 at 1 p.m., to demand the repeal of prohibition laws and the establishment of a regulatory framework to deal with the use of marijuana in Canada. Canadians are tired of politicians ducking the issue and want a sensible approach in place – not more empty promises. The regulation of marijuana is the only way we can protect the health and legal integrity of Canadians. It is time to redirect police and court resources toward serious crime, and to end the current black market – and its harmful consequences. Medical marijuana patients continue to suffer without safe access. Less than 600 Health Canada exemptions have been granted, yet over 400,000 Canadians need marijuana for medicinal purposes. Fill the Hill will advocate an alternative to the harmful policies of prohibition through regulatory controls aimed at reducing prohibition-related harms. The issues will be discussed from all perspectives by a broad list of speakers from across the country. For more information, visit [ www.fillthehill.ca ] There will be a press conference on Parliament Hill, Friday June 4th, 2004 at 10AM in Room 130-S |
