BOISE -- The Global Marijuana March is slated to rally in Boise today.

Supporters will begin gathering at the entrance to Julia Davis Park from 2 to 4 p.m. for the ninth year of the march. They will go to the Statehouse for a rally about 4 p.m. Speakers are scheduled for around 4:20 p.m.

"We just try to get people's attention to raise their awareness of whatever they want to know about, whether it's medical, or industrial or even responsible adult use," Rev. Tom Hayes, the march coordinator for Cures Not Wars and a Boise representative for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, said. " We don't condone drug use of any kind, but we do allow people in a free country to be free to express their own opinions."
