US: Marchers protest marijuana laws in Niagara Falls
Niagra Fall Review Saturday 17 Apr 2010 The supporters of cannabis law reform chanted "Free the Weed" as they walked to bring attention to the Bill C-15 which calls for a mandatory prison sentence for growing a single cannabis plant. The protesters said the government wastes millions of tax payers money by waging a war against people who insist the drug eases their pain. "Calling us criminals is a complete waste," said Welland resident Regent Labbe. Labbe has attended the annual 4 20 rally in Niagara Falls for the past three years. He said he smokes marijuana daily as pain relief as over-the-counter pain medication causes stomach problems. "It does help with the pain," the 22-year-old said. "It just straight up helps." The group marched from Victoria Avenue at Highway 420 down to the River Road. Once there, the participants shared marijuana cigarettes and pipes as curious tourists looked on. http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2539610
