CANNABIS LAW REFORM RALLY AND PARADE<\/b> <\/b><\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

* Prohibition is an incitement, not a control! <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 pm<\/b> * Gather and get ready for the<\/b> MardiGrass<\/b> Parade<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are here to peacefully protest so please join us for the march either inside the exit of the western car park or across the road from the Magic Garden Market. The march for Cannabis Law Reform is the main event, so please join in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2:30pm CANNABIS LAW REFORM RALLY<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Led by the Widjibal Elders of the Bunjalung Nation, with children holding the Koori flag, the parade this year will start off at 2.30pm from<\/strong> the Western carpark and <\/strong>make its way south along Cullen street where it will turn left and head down past the Town Hall and Greenbank to the Hash Bowl Stage in Plantem Park<\/strong> for the Cannabis Law Reform Rally, speeches and MardiGrass Float Prize presentations. Just follow the GANJA FAERIES and the BIG JOINT!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the parade might stop while the Ganja Faeries up front do a brief performance. This keeps the parade from being too hasty and allows the crowd a better opportunity to take it all in. Everyone wait behind the BIG JOINT until the procession continues. No rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percussionists who have not been practicing with the Ganja Faerie troupe are asked to form a second Drumming Troupe, further back in the parade to provide a continuing accompaniment for the parade. People are asked not to occupy the space between the Ganja Faeries and the first group of Drummers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we finish the march there will be short speeches by Bundjalung Elders and guests. Parade Float prizes, and the Legends Tribute winners, will be awarded, followed by more speeches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is our twenty eighth consecutive annual Rally for Cannabis Law Reform. We vowed to Rally every year on the first Sunday in May until we are no longer criminals for using this herb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
