Global Cannabis March

So, I found myself in the middle of another protest/rally today. Actually, I read about it on Philadelphia Weekly’s blog. This time it was on Broad and South Streets for the repealing of laws restricting the use of marijuana. I captured some photos and want to share them with you. But first, here’s a terrible video I shot with my iPhone (which doesn’t have native video recording support).
