Balloons for dagga liberation - decriminalize marijuana

Cape Town - A group of about 150 Capetonians, waving posters proclaiming "Cannabis Can Make Petrol and Paper", "Go Green" and "Grow with the Flow" marched to the gates of Parliament on Saturday afternoon calling for the legalisation of dagga.

On their arrival, the marchers released a bunch of about a dozen green balloons with alien faces drawn on them; these flew over the wall and into the grounds of the parliamentary complex, where they were quickly gathered up by police.

According to the organisers, the march was intended to highlight "the many uses of the plant cannabis".

2. South Africa -- Who Woulda Thunk?

It's a truly global phenomenon. Too bad it's confined to those out of power.

The amazing thing is that the one region where cannabis has a long history of socially accepted use -- the Middle East and North Africa -- are the only regions you never hear of a modern legalization movement.
