MEDICAL POT ACTIVISTS STAGE PROTEST RALLY

SAN FRANCISCO -- About 50 medical marijuana activists rallied under Wednesday's leaden skies near the United Nations Plaza farmer's market, wielding a bullhorn and picket signs to demand that federal officials act on a formal request to loosen the drug's ban.

This weekend, "Guru of Ganja" Ed Rosenthal of Oakland hosted a "Wonders of Cannabis" festival in Golden Gate Park featuring joint-rolling contests and an appearance by comedian and noted stoner Tommy Chong.

Mixed messages, some drug policy experts say sadly.
