THOUSANDS MARCH TO PROTEST MARIJUANA LAWS

Several thousand people marched through lower Manhattan on Saturday to
protest laws criminalizing marijuana use.

"Marijuana is good medicine" and "Stop all cannabis arrests" read
signs carried by demonstrators in the Cures Not Wars 2001 march.

"We want to turn an alcohol and tobacco world into a marijuana world,"
said Dana Beal, a march organizer.

The carnival-like atmosphere was accented by chants including "We
smoke pot and we like it a lot."

There were no apparent signs of marijuana use along the parade route,
which was lined with police officers. Police did not immediately
report any arrests.
