THOUSANDS PROTEST MARIJUANA LAWS
Several Thousand people marched in New York City on Saturday to
protest laws against marijuana use. "Marijuana is good medicine" and
"Stop all cannabis arrests" read signs carried by demonstrators in
the Cures Not Wars 2001 march through lower Manhattan. "We want to
turn an alcohol and tobacco world into a mrijuana 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."
