Report (from old GMM site):

Saturday May 6, at 4:20 the Million Marijuana March converged at north high street and 17th avenue. The estimated size of the crowd was fifty people. A strange odor emerged from the crowd. Protesters showed their utter disregard for the law by smoking joints throughout the event. Local police occasionally swung by the march, as it went down high street. The only cop on hand was a man with a camera claiming to be doing a documentary at Ohio University. Indymedia has already heard this excuse from Columbus Police. There was little doubt about the identity of the photographer, when he began taking point-blank pictures of the faces of people smoking on the sidewalk.

After a brief speech the march began down high street into the gateway center. Chants ranged from "Fuck the gateway center" to "no more drug war" and "marijuana, yes I wanna." Bystanders, on the street, seemed supportive of the cause. Leaders of the march slowed the crowd at local businesses, who support Hempfest and the Hempfest Journal. The march was suspiciously slow throughout the day. The crowd filed through Short North's Gallery Hop and ended with another smoke-in at Goodale Park.

The Million Marijuana March has been going on globally since 1998. The purpose of the march is to raise awareness about the positive effects of marijuana usage. Nearly everyone in this country was indoctrinated with a negative, pro-law enforcement mentality about marijuana. Of all the industrialized countries of the world, America is the most draconian in its relentless prosecution of the War on Drugs. Well over 2 million people in these United States are in prison today. Prisons, which are growing increasingly privatized, and increasingly resembling slavery. As one bystander of the march remarked "The War on Drugs is a war on black people."

Save $1.5 trillion yearly in the US. Canada spent 11.2 percent of its GDP for total healthcare costs in 2022. US spent 16.6 percent in 2022. 5.4% is the difference. 5.4% of US GDP is $1.5 trillion dollars in 2022. Universal single-payer healthcare savings, and progressive taxation, could pay off the $36 trillion US national debt. Share link.

Canada vs US GOP[edit source]

Return to top. Canada has legal recreational and medical cannabis across Canada. Republicans (GOP) block both in US. In Canada the average per-person cost of their single-payer universal healthcare is half that of the US. And Canada has a longer average lifespan. As for the US read a UnitedHealthcare denial horror story. Stats article: "The company dismissed about one in every three claims in 2023 — the most of any major insurer. That's twice the industry average of 16%". See Wikipedia: Medical debt. It's much higher in the US. US Republicans Voted Often to Kill Coverage of Pre-Existing Conditions. [12][13][14].

Canada compared to US: Legal cannabis nationwide, free universal healthcare, longer average lifespan, more harm reduction, lower overdose rate, much lower murder rate, higher median wealth per adult. Richer, safer, healthier.

Future elections: Vote.org and Vote411.org. Eventually people may realize that voting for Democrats is the only way to raise state and federal minimum wages from $7.25 to at least $15 an hour, regain abortion rights, get expanded Medicaid in the South, and Medicare for All, and flip the Trump tax cuts for the rich (2) back to progressive taxation. Then wealth concentration would be reversed.
