The Million Marijuana March was started in 1999 by Cures-not-Wars founder, Dana Beal.
The idea for an international march grew out of the annual pro-pot
demonstration that took place only in New York City. In its first
five years, the Million Marijuana March grew in size and scope. In
2003 there were rallies and marches in over 200 cities around the
world. 2004 marked the fifth anniversary of this worldwide event,
and in 2005 the name was changed to Global Marijuana March to
reflect the international scope of this global march for marijuana
freedom.
Cannabis Culture Magazine and its publisher Marc Emery are
strong supporters of the Global Marijuana March, and provided free
posters to numerous cities around the world for years. But
unfortunately, this generous contribution ended in July 2005 when
Marc Emery was arrested, and Marc Emery Direct Seeds, the financing
machine for the activist movement, raided and shut down by the
Vancouver Police Department on behalf of the USA's Drug Enforcement
Administration.
