Global Marijuana Marches Set for Tomorrow
For more than 30 years, marijuana fans and legalization supporters have marched on the first weekend in May in support of the cause. Despite legalization having occurred in Uruguay and the US states of Colorado and Washington, this year is no different.
[image:1 align:left]As of Friday, at least 160 cities in 35 countries have signed up for marches Saturday (or thereabouts). That number may be an undercount; some countries where there will be marches in many cities do not have complete lists. Those include Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, New Zealand and Spain.
In previous years, crowds have been tens of thousands strong in some cities, including Vancouver, Toronto, Rome, and Buenos Aires. But marches have also taken place in smaller towns and cities across the world, with attendance ranging from mere handfuls to thousands.
This year, marchers will take to the streets in Aceh, Indonesia; Albany, New York; Alva, Oklahoma; Amsterdam, Antofagasta, Chile; Antwerp, Atlanta, Auckland, and Austin; Texas. And that's just the letter "A."
Other notable march cities include Erbil, Iraq; Iqalit, Nunavat, Canada; Johannesburg, Lima, Mexico City, and New York City.
