'A MARIJUANA WORLD' IS QUEST OF MARCHERS
Thousands marched through lower Manhattan to protest laws criminalizing
marijuana use.
"Marijuana is good medicine" and "Stop all cannabis arrests" read signs
carried by protesters in the Cures Not Wars 2001 march.
"We want to turn an alcohol and tobacco world into a marijuana world," said
Dana Beal, a march organizer. The carnival-like atmosphere was accented by
chants including "We smoke pot and we like it a lot."
There were no apparent signs of marijuana use along the parade route, and
no arrests were reported.
