PhillyNORML – 2009 Global Cannabis March
The 2009 Global Cannabis March, or Philadelphia Cannabis Festival, will be taking place on Saturday May 2, 2009. The event is still being planned, so more information will be posted as it becomes available. The GCM is an annual event that brings out hundreds of supporters, patients, and onlookers. It’s an excellent opportunity to show just how popular legalization is, and to have a lot of fun. In 2008 we had our biggest one yet with over 400 people. This year we hope to top 1,000. Check back often for updates!

Demonstrate the depth of American opposition to the war on drugs and cannabis use.
As long as opposition to the war on drugs only presents itself only as an online abstraction politicians like President Obama can sneer at and dismiss your political voice. Masses of Americans out in the streets of America screaming NO MORE DRUG WAR! can’t be ignored, dismissed, sneered at and marginalized.
