Nimbin - Australia . Toronto and Halifax in Canada, as well as New York and a number of other US cities bore witness to thousands of cannabis smokers marching the streets in a bid to bring awareness to the current state of legislation in their respective countries, and news reports after the event recorded only a handful of arrests for misdemeanour/public-order offences. In Nimbin, its said that over a hundred arrests were made. Must have been quite some party dudes!!

Cannabis/marijuana enforcement was NOT on the menu at any of the march's. As if to prove the RCMP know how to handle a cannabis gathering the Queens Park, Toronto gathering has taken place for the ninth year without a single arrest.
