Legalise cannabis supporters march in Paris
Placards and banners with the message "Ganga for all!" could be seen in the streets of Paris on Saturday as hundreds marched in support of legalising cannabis. As part of the Global Marijuana March, the crowds were calling for a change in France's drug policy.
The GMM is an annual rally held at different locations across the planet, now in its 15th year. Pro-cannabis rallies were held last weekend in several cities across France such as Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon, Bayonne and Poitiers.
Among the arguments for the legalisation of recreational marijuana use: less trafficking, better products and perhaps less crime.
Others say marajuana offers relief for the terminally ill.
Cannabis use has been illegal in France since 1970, punishable by one year in prison and a 3,750-euro fine. In practice, imprisonment is rare, although fines continue to be meted out.
