MARIJUANA ACTIVISTS JOIN GLOBAL PROTEST
Marijuana Activists From Saskatoon Joined A Global Protest Saturday.
About a dozen people marched from Broadway Avenue to city hall Saturday
afternoon to raise awareness of what organizers call state-sponsored
discrimination.
Growing and using marijuana for medical and recreational reasons should be
left up to the individual, says Nathan Holowaty. "We want to stand up for
individual rights. It's a lifestyle choice. It shouldn't be criminalized."
He says the federal government is heading down the wrong path in making it
legal for a person to possess a small amount of marijuana for their own use
because it would still be illegal to grow the plant.
