THOUSANDS PROTEST MARIJUANA LAWS

Several Thousand people marched in New York City on Saturday to 
protest laws against marijuana use.  "Marijuana is good medicine" and 
"Stop all cannabis arrests" read signs carried by demonstrators in 
the Cures Not Wars 2001 march through lower Manhattan.  "We want to 
turn an alcohol and tobacco world into a mrijuana world," said Dana 
Beal, a march organizer.  The carnival-like atmosphere was accented 
by chants including "We smoke pot and we like it a lot."
