Canada: Montreal marijuana lovers march for cannabis

CTV

Sunday 08 May 2011

MONTREAL — Pot lovers took to the streets of Montreal, one of over 200 cities which hosted local versions of the Global Marijuana March Saturday at noon.

Hundreds displayed their support for the legalization of cannabis by marching from St. Louis Square on the Plateau to Parc des Ameriques where they then took in entertainment.

Event spokesman Marc-Boris St-Maurice said that this year's march was dedicated to workers at the four local Compassion Club who face drug-related charges after raids in June 2010.

He said that the workers are facing serious charges which might even lead them to prison.

Police have said that the Compassion Clubs had been selling drugs to people regardless of legitimate medicinal justification.

St. Maurice said that the workers simply wanted to ease the pain of very sick people.
