Global Cannabis Protest in Bogota Calls for Legalization and Rights
Colombians in Bogota demand decriminalization and legalization of marijuana at global rally on May 4, reports EFE News Agency.

According to a report from the EFE news agency on May 5th, in Bogota, Colombia, a global marijuana march was held on May 4th. Participants in the march called for the complete decriminalization of marijuana use and sales, and demanded the legalization of marijuana cultivation, whether for medical or recreational purposes.

 

Another important aspect of the appeal is the legalization of personally grown marijuana, regardless of its intended use for medical or recreational purposes. They believe that everyone should have the right to freedom of choice, and current discriminatory laws do not adhere to principles of fairness.

 

In this global marijuana march, participants strongly urge for the complete lifting of criminal penalties for the use and sale of marijuana. Marijuana consumers gathered in the Colombian capital, Bogota, actively organizing protest activities to fight for their rights.
