Marihuana march through Prague

More than a thousand young people marched through the streets of Prague on Saturday calling for the legalization of marihuana. Its organizers argued that the present legislation plays into the hands of the drugs mafia and violates rights guaranteed by the constitution in preventing people from using marihuana as a drug that has been proven effective against serious illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and arthritis. The police were out in force to maintain order.
