Global Marijuana March (GMM) in Manley Hot Springs, Alaska, USA.

2007 GMM
Report from globalmarijuanamarch.org/2007.php

This years march was 15 consecutive years for us here in Manley Hot Springs ! The march strated at 1:30 P.M. on the North end of the bridge crossing Hot Springs Slough and followwed our usual route to the U.S. Post Office building in the center of town. While we had several participants due to the small size of our community only 2 would participate in a photo to be submitted here. As the march ended at the Post office there were several community members there and we engaged in lively discussions as to the general benefits of Medical use, recreational use, and the fact that in Alaska it is legal to indulge within the privacy of your home. Sales, transport, gifts are not allowed but still the right to privacy in the State Constitution prevails. Alaska is also one of the 11 U.S. states that have medical Use laws on the books.

Following the march there was the usual gathering at the river which was not frozen this year as the ice had went out 2 days earlier. Those there enjoyed each others company, the good vibe and sense of coming together to support something that we believe in. Our goal as always is to increase awareness of responsible cannabis use, increase our participants for next year and as always.
