'TOKING TIME' AT FALLS

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. -- The Horseshoe Falls was the backdrop for activists
rallying to legalize marijuana. "Weed is a good thing. It's stereotyped not
in a good way," said Mary Wilson, a Niagara Falls woman among approximately
250 people who lit up in Queen Victoria Park on Saturday at 4:20 p.m., the
time of day pot-smokers consider the universal toking time.

"The whole cannabis culture is oppressed. We're here to support it," said
Analise Spencer.

Saturday was the second time the falls has been the site for a large
pro-marijuana rally. Both times, organizers arranged a public smoke-out to
coincide with April 20, the fourth month of the year and 20th day of the month.
