According to the daily Página 12 in Buenos Aires, the rally to legalize marijuana in that city drew 12,000 people. ... In Buenos Aires, speaking to the multitude in the Rosedal de Palermo park, Gustavo Hurtado of ARDA (Harm Reduction Association of Argentina) said:
“The repressive policies [of drug prohibition], the prosecution of personal possession of small amounts of drugs as a serious crime, and makes drug users into criminals. This keeps them out of the healthcare system and only increases the potential for harm and the risks of HIV/AIDS transmission.”
Like many policies pursued by the US administration, he said, drug prohibition is an “irrational aggression.” The central message of the Buenos Aires march, said Hurtado, was to “say no to the war on drugs, and say no to the war on drug users.”
| Million Marijuana March (Buenos Aires)#1 | |
| Description: | All these photographs correspond to
the march and sitting that was made in Buenos Aires the 4 of May of
2003. It is spoken of near 10 thousand assistants to the event
that with his presence they wanted to demonstrate to his total
disagreement to the present effective system of laws in Argentina with
respect to the plant friend. The Association of Reduction of Damages of
Argentina (ARDA) with the collaboration of Network RADDUD summoned this
march to demand the following points: * To legalize the drug possession for personal consumption (To countermand art. 14 of the law 23.737) * To stop the arrests by marijuana consumption * Coarse of lies * Let us defend the scientific research of the therapeutic uses of the cannabis * Let us help the patients whom they require of the therapeutic use of the marijuana |
