The Global Cannabis March is an annual event which takes place in over 200 cities worldwide. It started in 1999, and since then over 450 different cities across the globe have held this event.

Join PhillyNORML activists and over 500 local pot smokers, law reform supporters, medical marijuana patients and doctors, and even non-smokers as we rally and protest the government's war on marijuana users.

We will meet at the southeast corner of South St. and Broad St. at 4:00PM, and between 4:20 and 4:40 we will begin the march. Our route will take us east, down south street until we reach Headhouse square. There we will rally and hear people in the movement speak about their issues. There will be vendors selling marijuana-themed items (but not marijuana itself, unfortunately), and a raffle.

After Headhouse square, we *may* extend the march unofficially and go elsewhere to raise support. We will see how people feel about it.

Later that night, we will be having an after party. Details on that are still forthcoming. This will be edited when we have more information.

This year will be the biggest one yet, and we're going to need people to help volunteer during the event. If you're interested in helping out, send an email to co-chair@phillynorml.org.
