MMM 2003 was the smoothest,most "mainstream" legalization
event.... 2000 people, almost zero interest from police...
MMM looks more and more like regular festival, rather than
political rally. However media coverage was good/neutral,
and as usual, it seems politicians are more likely to talk
about legalization after MMM attracts media. We publicly
announced the list of 8 people imprisoned for cannabis only
out of 10 million. But Vaclav Havel is no longer president;
Havel used right to give amnesty to prisoners to virtually
veto some laws, including cannabis possession.

*MMM links. Million Marijuana March. Global Cannabis Action.
Annual rallies and marches the weekend of the first Saturday
in May. 236 cities rallied in 2003. Worldwide since 1999.
Cannabis Liberation Day. Many links. Alphabetical city
contact lists, event navigators, mailing lists and archives,
flyers, posters, banners, rally report compilations, search
shortcuts, media coverage, MMM history, etc..
http://www.geocities.com/tents444/mmmlinks.htm and
http://corporatism.tripod.com/mmmlinks.htm and
http://members.fortunecity.com/multi19/mmmlinks.htm

The cities were counted by doing a paragraph count via the
text statistics command in the tools menu of the
freeware/shareware NoteTab. http://www.notetab.com

The MMM 2004 city lists here are taken from the bottom of
the Dana Beal MMM emails found in the MMM World Yahoo Group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mmmworld

For much more info see the main MMM CannabisAction Yahoo
Group and its public archive.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cannabisaction

Web address links in the MMM city lists at their web
locations were often made clickable all at once by using the
message preview at the Cannabis.com Politics message board:
http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/boardview.shtml?1x0 --
Links for your city that don't click, or don't click
correctly, can be fixed if you point out any problems with a
particular MMM city link. Send MMM city info, updates, email
and web address corrections, etc. to Dana Beal at
dana@... . Be sure to put "MMM" in the title
so that the email is not mistaked for spam. Some messages to
Dana Beal disappear or otherwise do not get through (for
many reasons). So send the message again if necessary. Feel
free to pass on the MMM city list. Paste it into email,
forums, web pages, etc.. Most email and forums will
automatically make the links correctly clickable if the
links are correctly written. To learn how to do so please go
here: http://www.geocities.com/tents444/mmmlinks.htm#how or
here: http://corporatism.tripod.com/mmmlinks.htm#how - One
common error is not putting http:// in front of web address
URLs. Or not having a blank space at the beginning and
especially the end of either a web address or an email
address. Correcting these things will allow the links to
click correctly in the widest variety of email and forums.

Incarceration RATE per 100,000 population. You can
divide it by a thousand to get the percentage of
the national population imprisoned. Or just move
the decimal point to the left 3 places. 1000
prisoners per 100,000 population is 1.000 percent
of the population imprisoned.
