Cannabis Culture Magazine - a pretty good compendium of web pages about the yearly Million Marijuana March. GlobalMarijuanaMarch.com has details on cities holding marches. I haven't been to one since 2000, when I posted my account of the Millennium Marijuana March.

Bill, went to the linked page for the 2000 march - thanks for the story and the pics. Noticed the one with you and your sign - is that a 2+4 you're using for the sign handle? Surprised me - ptb's don't usually let folks even have substantial handles for signs, much less cudgels! Noticed a few months ago a pic of 'reasonable' looking mature ladies being divested of sign handles that weren't much more than kebab skewers!

In 1999, I went to the New York City march with my sign stapled to a frame made out of wooden 1x3's. The cops took it away from me, and I carried the sign in my hands. They didn't however, take from by backpack my staple gun, or the screwdriver I used to screw the 1x3's together.

The next year, I folded up a cardboard box, and used that for the handle. No cop bothered me. There are pictures at http://billstclair.com/blog/000504.html

I was just curious. Now I see why that handle looked like a 2+4.
