Swedish NORMAL and GMM 2007 in Stockholm
Dear mr Beal,
I got an e-mail from Alexandra at the polish Hemplobby saying that you hasn't recieved any report about this spring's Global Marijuana March in Stockholm, Sweden. We're sorry about that. While the polish movement are true activists, the swedish one sometimes tend to be more like passivists. Here it comes though, better late than never.
At saturday the 5th of May we gathered at the square Kulturhustorget to form a lineup. The march then went through the City Central, Old Town, South District and finally ended at the park Fatbursparken where we had speeches, poetry reading, live music and sets with Trinity Sound System and a hiphop-DJ called Calle.
We had ca 300 people attending the rally in the park and 150 in the march. The sun was shining and we had a good contact with the authorities (only a slight disagreement about the content of the permit). We recieved little media attention, mostly in the liberal tabloid Expressen:

This paper has also printed editorials on the issue of legalizing cannabis and turning the current hardline prohibitionist policy towards harm reduction.
Pictures from the march can be found at: https://www.swecan.org/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=249
Swedish NORMAL is going through a change where we reconstitute and try to get the more formal work done. The swedish political climate climate is rather rough but we're going through a change. It takes time though.
This summer the newspapers has been full of reports of the evergrowing amount of marijuanagrowers, mainly small closet setups but also bigger factorylike installations. The police force is overwhelmed with the spreading. Nice trend, keeps the stoners of the black hashishmarket and ensures them a good supply of unadultered marijuana.
Finally, it's most likely that Swedish NORMAL will host GMM next year, first saturday of may.
Yours sincerely,
Jonas

PS. A completely different thing. Since you're living in New York and I presume are quite involved in the local counter culture; do you know Mykel Board, founder of the World For Free-network?
