04 May 2002
197+ cities worldwide ,4th annual Million Marijuana March (MMM).
197 MMM cities! Italy Indymedia top feature! Cannabis Liberation Day Worldwide May 4 2002. Please send in those MMM rally reports to Dana Beal at dana (at) cures-not-wars.org and to Cannabis News at submissions (at) cannabisnews.com and also put them on web pages too if you can.

MMM Cannabis Liberation Day Worldwide is the top feature on the top page of Italy Indymedia! They must have an old MMM city list, though.
It's now up to 197 cities worldwide and counting! (I used the word-count tool in my word processor to count the MMM city paragraphs).

See the latest MMM cities list at the links after the Italy Indymedia article below. Go to Italy Indymedia to see the illustration used there, and to click the many links in the article there: http://italy.indymedia.org/

Here is a rough translation of the Italy Indymedia featute article using the free online Babelfish translation tool:

To free it in order to free to us. 4 Saturdays May the
antiprohibitionist movement comes down in public square to Rome and 145 cities in the world, in order to ask the liberalizzazione for the cannabis and the acknowledgment of the right the ludico and therapeutic use. The favorable voices to the legalization are always more. And more the experiment always appears positive dell.Olanda,
than from 1976 the uso has decriminalized of hashish and marijuana.
As well as that some Countries, like the Inghilterra, are see again their proibizioniste political, at least for the introduction of the Medical Hemp. In Lombardy it has been for granted hour the therapeutic use. But the Italian government - allying natural of the speculative world of some therapeutic communities - instead prefers
to hide the head under the sand and to undertake the refined strategy of tolerance zero, copied from the USA: the distinction between drugs ' leggere' and ' pesanti' has been formally abolished, and consequently the penal provisions go also. The strong powers use the
proibizionismo like marginalization instrument, criminalizzazione and social control. The battle for the liberalizzazione of the cannabis is therefore one fight for the affirmation of the personal freedom, for the emancipation from the giogo of the narcomafie, for
rivendicare the right to the cultivation and the consumption of a product of controlled quality. Many are the initiatives that are being prepared in Italy in order to speak about antiproibizionismo and substances: To Genoa the 18 MaggioMDMA organizes ANTIPROHIBITIONIST MOVEMENTS, an encounter conference on antiproibizionismo and reduction of the damage. To Bologna the 29
June the peninsula will come down in road the Street Rave
Antiprohibitionist Parade with participants from all.

Liberarla per liberarci.
Sabato 4 Maggio, il movimento antiproibizionista scende in piazza a Roma e in 145 città nel mondo, per chiedere la liberalizzazione della
cannabis e il riconoscimento del diritto all' uso ludico e
terapeutico. Le voci favorevoli alla legalizzazione sono sempre di più. E sempre di più appare positivo l' esperimento dell’Olanda, che dal 1976 ha depenalizzato l'’uso di hascisc e marijuana. Tanto che alcuni Paesi, come l'’Inghilterra, stanno rivedendo le loro politiche
proibizioniste, almeno per l' introduzione della Canapa Medica. In
Lombardia è stato per ora concesso l' uso terapeutico. Ma il governo
italiano - alleato naturale del mondo affaristico di alcune comunità
terapeutiche - preferisce invece nascondere la testa sotto la sabbia
e intraprendere la raffinata strategia della tolleranza zero, copiata
dagli Usa: la distinzione tra droghe 'leggere' e 'pesanti' è stata
formalmente abolita, e di conseguenza vanno anche i provvedimenti
penali. I poteri forti usano il proibizionismo come strumento di
emarginazione, criminalizzazione e controllo sociale. La battaglia
per la liberalizzazione della cannabis è dunque una lotta per l'
affermazione della libertà personale, per l' emancipazione dal giogo
delle narcomafie, per rivendicare il diritto alla coltivazione e al
consumo di un prodotto di qualità controllata. Molte sono le
iniziative che si stanno preparando in Italia per parlare di
antiproibizionismo e di sostanze: A Genova il 18 MaggioMDMA organizza
MOVIMENTI ANTIPROIBIZIONISTI, un incontro conferenza su
antiproibizionismo e riduzione del danno. A Bologna il 29 Giugno
scenderà in strada la Street Rave Parade Antiproibizionista con
partecipanti da tutta la penisola.
