Cannabis Freedom Day in SF
PARTIAL report on Cannabis Freedom day celebration, 3 May 2003, in San Francisco (merely what one person experienced).
On Cannabis Freedom Day, 3 May 2003, I arrive unfashionably late at Civic Center Plaza in downtown San Francisco, wearing my usual mask, but with a faux-cannabis garland enhancing my usual sign.
Honoring National Masturbation Month, Butchered Hands (?) are playing "We Beat Our Meat".
California Assemblyman Mark Leno speaks eloquently about ongoing efforts to protect California's voter-approved medical cannabis law from federal interference.
The next band, Galaxxy Chamber*, feaures a lovely green-haired guitarist, dressed entirely in black and green. This costumed performing group seems to include dancers as well as musicians. The most spectacular dancer, a woman scantily clad in SM-style leather, gestures with several flaming torches, which are attached to her fingers.
After Galaxy, I drift over to a nearby dance area which offers what I loosely call "rave music" (since I can't distinguish between house, trance, etc.). For the next couple of hours I watch the dancers and display my sign (promoting Nude Freedom Day, July 4).
Then, just before 6pm, I notice the crowd forming into a march, so I scramble to catch up. We march a few blocks in a circle, winding up at the plaza again.

*(Note on Galaxxy ( Galaxy?) Chamber: I can't find their website; but a few photos may be seen at [http://www.flaminghot.com]. They will perform May 22 in SF at StudioZ.tv, with Gun And Doll Show, et alii.)

MORE INFO: Since this report is just a fragment, perhaps other attenders of this event could add more details? Or give links to other reports? Perhaps as comments?

CannabisNews.com MMM search shortcuts.
MMM search shortcut for CannabisNews.com archives. Results in chronological order. Latest on top. Unfortunately, some results are for MMM mentioned only in a comment.
http://www.cannabisnews.com/thcgi/search.pl?K=million+marijuana+march&PS=on&H=320
*CannabisNews.com press and media archives. Expanded search form.
http://www.cannabisnews.com/thcgi/search.pl
The expanded CannabisNews search form has a checkbox for phrase searching. Or you can add "&PS=on" to the search shortcut URL. In either case phrase searching is not perfect, because when searching for 3 or more terms, the search engine pulls up articles with any of the terms adjacent to one of the other terms. All the terms must be in the article or comments somewhere though. But not necessarily all 3 terms adjacent to each other. 2 adjacent seems to be enough.
http://www.cannabisnews.com/thcgi/search.pl?K=million+marijuana+march&PS=on
You can set it to pull up any number of articles up to the maximum number of articles allowed (320). Just add &H=320 (or a number under 320) to the search shortcut.
http://www.cannabisnews.com/thcgi/search.pl?K=million+marijuana+march&PS=on&H=320
Results are in chronological order. The default order for results is by date of the article (not the comments). So it is fairly easy to figure out the year of the article by running your cursor over the result URLs and noting the numbers.
This sometimes produces better results than using Google MMM search shortcuts for CannabisNews, and with a specific year in the search shortcut. Google results do not arrive in chronological order of the articles. So it can be difficult to find the year of an article without opening the article. Because the search term for the year may only be found in the comments. Comments will sometimes mention years other than the year of the article.
The CannabisNews search engine searches the articles AND the comments. So some pages are pulled up in which the search terms are found only in the comments.
Open the article. You can use the "find" command in the edit menu of your browser to locate whether the search phrase "million marijuana march" is in the article or in the comments.

Drug war ads, and Rachel Corrie, American killed by Israeli army bulldozer March 16 2003 in Rafah, occupied Gaza. |
It's the Occupation, Stupid!
Bush still occupies Texas -- through federal drug laws such as the draconian mandatory minimum drug laws at the federal level. They are the model used by many state mandatory minimum drug laws.
The inner cities of the USA are occupied open-air prison camps similar to the occupied open-air prison camps of Gaza and the West Bank.
