April 29, 2005 article from "ForUm. Ukrainian Internet Newspaper" begins.
http://en.for-ua.com/news/?id=611

"Marijuana March" will take place in Kiev

Marches of supporters of marijuana legalization - "Million Marijuana March" – will take place on May 7 in 200 large cities of the world. The action is also planned in Kiev, the newspaper "Segodnya" writes.

According to Sergey Sokolenko, the member of civil initiatives association "Objective reality", the march in Kiev will be organized not only in support of marijuana legalization, but also for realization of private liberties. The action will be named "March of liberty". On the eve o the action the organization "Objective reality" prepares three-coloured flags and kerchiefs (red-yellow-green – the colours of fighters for marijuana legalization), leaflets with demand to abolish criminal responsibility for growing and use of marijuana.

According to the article 39 of Constitution of Ukraine the organizers of any action must inform the authorities about route, time, place of performing, slogans and aim of the action, contact phone of a person in charge.

As "Segodnya" informs, the Kiev state city administration did not get any application about the action, and, consequently, the law machinery, which is obliged to guarantee public order, was not informed also.

In any case, police officials recommend strongly not to use drugs and not to keep them to oneself.

Currently, 181 cities in 37 nations worldwide have signed up for MMM/GMM 2005 on May 7, 2005 (or thereabouts).

There is an even more detailed 2005 worldwide city list here:
http://mercycenters.org/events/MMM_Citys_2005.htm

It has names, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, some event details for some cities, etc..

The various city lists online have more or less links and email addresses. So check them all out if you want the most info for a particular city. Email addresses and links are added as they are found. I hope to add report and photo album links to the city lists this year, too. Instead of only putting report links on a separate page.

A pie smack-dab in the face leaves a bad aftertaste
Indianapolis Star - Apr 14, 2005
... "I am involved with political organizing," he said. "I helped to organize the Million Marijuana March around the country this year.".

Longer excerpt from the article:
http://www2.indystar.com/articles/5/236665-7315-009.html

Quote:

---

Josh Medlin, a second-year student at Earlham, took credit for the pie throwing there. But he has refused requests for interviews. The Wayne County prosecutor is investigating his actions. He may face battery charges.

This leaves the pie-throwing defense to Aron Kay, of Brooklyn.

Now 55, the former hippie/yippie threw pies with the best of them during the 1970s. Among his hits: Phyllis Schlafly, E. Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy. He never wore a mask, either.

He contacted Medlin, but Medlin would not talk to him, he said.

Pie-throwing, he said, has a great tradition. "Look at The Three Stooges."

So what does he do, now that the '70s are long gone -- and he is a grandfather? "I am involved with political organizing," he said. "I helped to organize the Million Marijuana March around the country this year."

Like Washington said, surreal.

I'm going to create a new thread for everyone to continue sharing information and plans for the Million Marijuana March. This year deserves its own thread!

Thanks, Jodie for the new thread pinned to the top. Please keep this thread archived, though. Hundreds of webpages on my websites currently link to this thread. Many other websites probably link to it too.

Are there any new posters we can use for Calgary's 2006 Million Marijuana March?


Calgary and it's ever changing weather has caused us to have poor weather alternative dates.
May 13, 20, 27 2006 will be poor weather alternative dates for the Calgary Million Marijuana March.

"Are there any new posters we can use for Calgary's 2006 Million Marijuana March?"

Unfortunately, due to the DEA bust of Emery Seeds, everyone is going to have to figure out the creation and financing of their own posters this year. Unless Dana at Cures-not-wars or someone else has another sugar daddy.

Perhaps you can download something from this site:
