Marijuana activists have one more reason to like Niagara Falls, now that it’s the home of Canada’s justice minister, says Matt Mernagh, the organizer of Saturday’s annual pro-pot protest.

 

 

 

Saturday will be the fourth annual protest Niagara Falls has seen where scores of protesters take to the streets, demanding the legalization of marijuana.

“My philosophy is for the Cannabis Control Board of Ontario,” said Mernagh, who said marijuana should be regulated, controlled and taxed the same way alcohol is.

Activists like the the symbolism of holding a protest near Highway 420. In pot-smoking circles, 4:20 p.m., is considered the universal time of day to toke up. They schedule it close to April 20. Scores of activists will meet on Victoria Avenue near Roberts Street at 2 p.m., march down Clifton Hill and then light up at 4:20.
