Saturday May 22nd in Sacramento: Million Marijuana March
Medical Marijuana supporters had good news to celebrate at worldwide annual Million Marijuana March fetes on May 1st. A California appelate court has ruled that the Justice Department may not raid or prosecute the 250 members of the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana. WAMM was raided in 2002 by the DEA. Since the 2002 raid, over 25 of WAMM's seriously ill members had died. Marijuana afficionados recently celebrated the "420" holiday with a rally for more allowed medicinal plants in Berkeley, a concert in San Francisco, and a picnic in Cupertino.
There was some bad news during the 420 season, as the city of Oakland ruled that the city must reduce its number of medical cannabis clubs from 7 to 4 in June. Hearings about permits were held at the City Manager's office the week of April 20th.

On May 1st, San Franciscan's celebrated Cannabis Freedom Day in Civic Center Plaza. Photos
