From Russia with love..but no peace

The May-day celebrations for 2007 will be remembered in marijuana-smoking circles as a very positive period on the whole.

May-Day Holidays in Russia - An advertisment for tourism?

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!!

Canadian self-proclaimed "prince of pot" Marc Emery was the parade-master as close to 15,000 people met up at Queens Park in Toronto, and marched on to the countries legislative buildings where its said, "the smell of cannabis and hot-dogs lasted for hours after the march ended"!!

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. Respect to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police!

UK
In the UK, the largest ever Hemp and Hydroponic Expo is taking place in Telford, in the central heartlands of the country.

UK Hemp & Hydro Expo 2007

Over 10,000 people are expected to attend the UK Hemp & Hydro expo , which has been organised by global cannabis culture magazine Weed World Magazine, (www.weedworld.co.uk ).

So all in all a peaceful holiday weekend...except in Russia!

Moscow Police Crack Down on Marijuana Legalization Advocates

Moscow police on Saturday suppressed a rally for the legalization of marijuana, detaining 30 people and beating many more. Participants of the Marijuana March were fined and sentenced to 15 days in jail.
The Marijuana Legalization League attempted to stage a rally in downtown Moscow on Saturday to demand the legalization of marijuana in Russia. Police detained the demonstrators, beating several people with truncheons.

The rally was to become part of the Global Marijuana March which brings protestors to the streets in cities all over the world. This was the fifth attempt to stage the Marijuana Rally in Moscow.

City authorities have turned down an application to organize the rally as “propagandizing drug abuse”. The Federal Drug Control Federation earlier urged Moscow to crack down on the possible gathering “as tough as possible”.

The detainees were charged with violation of rally regulations, and propagandizing drug abuse. One of the demonstrators was sentenced to 15 days in jail. Six other people got ten-day jail terms and 3,500-ruble fines.
