Oh shoot! It's that time of year, again, and I almost missed it! Every year, first Saturday of May is the Global Marijuana March (GMM) (Wikipedia Article). This is a photo I took last year on May 5.
This is only the third year Dallas has participated in the GMM, and it's hosted by DFW NORML - National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. I attended last year hoping that it would be a rally focused on the actual legalization of marijuana, but many were just shouting "I smoke weed, you should, too!" which is a statement I don't agree with. I don't think that one has to smoke pot to firmly believe in the legalization of a substance arguably safer than alcohol.
So, will I attend this year? Hell yeah. I may not agree with how a few individuals were interpreting the message, but I most definitely stand behind the cause. I put it on the Google calendar [look on the right side] if you want to easily add it to yours.
The "march" is this Saturday, May 3 from "high noon" to 3pm in front of the Earl Cabel Federal Building.
Hope to see you there!
