Pro-Cannabis Activists Hit City's Streets

Edinburgh Evening News

Friday 03 May 2002

---

PRO-CANNABIS campaigners are to take to the streets in Edinburgh in a bid
to raise awareness to legalise the drug.

Members of Legalise Cannabis Campaign Scotland will be petitioning on
Princes Street to seek more support on Monday.

Linda Hendry, LCCS spokeswoman, said: "We want to raise awareness in the
fight to legalise cannabis because the present proposal to make it a C
class drug does not mean it is legal.

"The penalties would only be halved if the law was changed to make it a C
class drug."

Their plans come as thousands of people were today expected to march in
various cities across the UK to mark Cannabis Liberation Day.

The Million Marijuana March is a worldwide event involving people taking to
the streets in nearly 200 cities across the globe.

Marches were due to take place in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool.

Across the world marches are taking place in more than 30 countries
including the US, New Zealand, Canada, and the Netherlands.
