Millenium Medical Marijuana March 2000 - Free DC!

In April 2000, medical cannabis patients and activists convened in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, then a march to the Lincoln Memorial. Speakers include: Wayne Turner; Kitty Tucker; Patsy Flemming; Dr. George Labrot; Sister Perris; Richard Eastman; John Pylka; Terence Hallinan; Robert Batista; C.H.A.M.P. - "Tyranny Blues" by Faith for Mayor.
Just the year earlier, in 1999, Congress blocked implementation of "Initiative 59" - when 78% of DC voted for medical marijuana, negated by the "Bob Barr Amendment".
Many old friends can be seen marching, including Julian Heiklen and Ron Crickenberger, who has passed on. What an honor to be with these noble souls on a march for compassion!

Finally, after ten years, Congress is honoring the will of the electorate and medical cannabis will be legal in Washington, DC!

When our Government and States decided to OUTLAW MARIJUANA they ALL were GUILTY of CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

That's the real crime here...
