The Cannabis Freedom March is an annual event that begins with a gathering at Volunteer Park with speakers and performances by local musicians. The march proceeds through Capitol Hill into downtown to it’s destination at Westlake Park where more local speakers and musicians preformed into the evening. This years march was significant because it symbolized the end of prohibition in Washington State, but the message behind this protest was for legalization across the country. There were several issues that medical marijuana patients specifically were protesting for, such as the right to have home-grows.
