O' Canada

Pro-marijuana activists gathered this afternoon in downtown Vancouver to enjoy some ganja and protest Canada's drug laws, which prohibit smoking the green stuff.
The group hopes to draw the attention of new Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff when it marches to the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre at 2 p.m. where the Liberal Party of Canada is meeting.65 per cent of British Columbians support legalizing the Maui wowie to curb violence related to the drug trade.
The march is part of a worldwide event dubbed The Global Marijuana March. In Toronto tens of thousands of people have participated in recent years.
While Mexico passed a law this week allowing Mexicans to be in possession of small amounts of the herb, in Canada it is still illegal to be in possession of any amount of reefer.

"Why not make some money off it just like alcohol and tobacco. Funds can go to health care," Douglas said.
In support of marijuana were Green Party members handing out 'End Drug Prohibition' leaflets.
Giving the rally some colour was 'Herb' a larger-than -life marijuana leaf mascot.
"I'm out of the closet," Herb said while blasting his lungs with a joint.

"It's amazing this law still exists," Hunter said.
Also, "we're asking the Liberals to not support Bill C-15," Hunter said.
Bill C-15 is a new set of proposed laws governing criminal activity drafted by Stephen Harper's Conservative government. It would give people minimum sentences for trafficking weed.Hunter said it could mean anyone caught growing just one dope plant could go to jail for at least six months.
