2010. May 1. Global Marijuana March.

2010. April 3. Hash Bash. Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
 * "The Hash Bash in Ann Arbor is the Nation's oldest marijuana Rally." . There have been other cannabis rallies in the USA before 1972, but they haven't continued on for as many years. Info follows from Hash Bash (Wikipedia): The first Hash Bash was held on Saturday, April 1 1972 in response to the March 9th 1972 decision by Michigan Supreme Court declaring unconstitutional the law used to convict cultural activist John Sinclair for possession of two marijuana joints. This action left the State of Michigan without a law prohibiting the use of marijuana until after the weekend of April 1 1972.

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. April 3, at Ann Arbor’s Michigan Theater.

300px YouTube link. The song for John Sinclair by John Lennon. December 1971 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Excerpt from lyrics:
 * If he was the CIA,
 * Selling dope and making hay,
 * He'd be free, they'd let him be.
 * Breathing air, like you and me.

2009. December 6. 15-year anniversary of the Berlin Hemp Museum.

'''2009. October 30-31, November 1. Madrid, Spain. Expo Cannabis.''' See: Category:Cannabis fairs and Cannabis-related event graphics. Website: expocannabis.com - English page.


 * "5th EXPOCANNABIS Edition: October 30, 31, November 1 - 2009


 * "It is almost a decade since the first cannabis derivatives trade fair was held in Germany. Since then, the growth of trade fairs dedicated to cannabis in all its applications, whether direct or derived, has been on the rise in Europe. So much so that for the last six years, Spannabis trade fair has been a highly popular event in Barcelona, and Expocannabis is following its steps in the capital of Spain, Madrid.


 * "The trade fair conditions offered by the Spanish capital are unbeatable due to its population density and its geographical situation, equidistant from almost any point of the Peninsula. The first edition was acclaimed by the public and the exhibitors, and this year we can proudly say that we expect an even bigger success. We count on you. You can't miss it!"
