Milwaukee Marijuana March (Event #2)

My friend is a contributor to NORML - the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. - and he and the leader of NORML - Jay Blaze, set up a march in honor of reforming Milwaukee's Marijuana Laws. We marched from the top of Kilbourn Park all the way to City Hall downtown and back to Kilbourn Park marching through Riverwest.

There was a huge turnout, people expanded about four blocks!
Some people even joined the march as we walked past.
There was some downfalls though, like drunk people who were giving NORML a bad name by jumping on public property and causing a scene.

Some of the chants we sung were as followed:
"What do we want?!"
"WEED!"
"When do we want it!?"
"NOW!"

"D.E.A. - GO AWAY!"

We had a megaphone being used, I got to speak on it a little bit.
Halfway through the march, everyone was parched, and next year if the march happens, water will definitely be needed. A woman actually had fallen in the grass next to the sidewalk, and everyone kind of waited patiently and made sure she was okay then began moving again.

I think it was a successful march and many people in their cars would honk and yell and appreciate what was happening.

Although, personally, I think this march was a performance, not much of political or effective stance at reforming a law. I think it definitely brought people together in unity to honor a reform, but I don't think marching will change anything.
