GMM Salvador Edition This story looks for to try to bring up to date the people interested on the course of the Salvador edition of the Global Marijuana March. The passed year, analyzing the absence of walks or other types of on manifestations to the base of the antiprohibitionist movements, I reflected that in 2006 such movements they had been wronged for the fact that the Growroom left the Web in July, leaving a vacuum in the possibilities that the users of Cannabis had to change information and to dialogue. The Walk Green, that if had consolidated as a landmark of the fight pro-normalization, organized and divulged way Web since 2003, and that it came gaining force in 2004 and 2005, practically does not happen in 2006. Mine suspicion they are mainly of that the impossibility to argue way fórum became the walk an impracticable enterprise for 2006. Of this form, few people had appeared and she did not have Walk. In this process, my fear was of that same without having official walk, many were to indicated places e, due to organization lack, started to smoke and if to risk with the policy without any type of profit for the cause. I passed then to dream of the possibility to integrate Brazil in a ampler event and of bigger weight, at the same time that it tried to prorogue the ideal to construct a walk for the 2007 start, so that of this time of the Growroom to return, to make possible the organization of a pretty walk and not to risk the health of users in unnecessary confrontations with the policy. I created then the two blogs (gmm saving Brazil and gmm), and started to divulge the idea in all place that passed. The speech was always the same: The GMM is a world-wide event that stimulates the people to promote editions local to give one weight in such a way to the world-wide event, to the date (first Saturday of May), and to the local editions, that gain the endorsement to be 1 between 180 cities. But at the same time always I looked for to clearly leave that it did not have money, wise person what it went to still make, nor could not make responsible me for GMM it are of Salvador. Thus, I looked for to carry through meetings with interested people here in Salvador and to stimulate the one that other Brazil people it measures they carried through the same. I received many letters that had not understood the proposal and found that I went to make in all the cities that if interested. Also I received a series from critical of people who found that we had to keep the walk in November, when had been the Green Walks, and that they would have exclusively to be in the same format of walk. I heard to all, I answered to many, but few of fact had been those that if had undertaken to carry through some type of event in its cities. I know that the edition of the GMM in Rio De Janeiro will be a success, a pretty great party, a time that galera obtained much interested people and support. As much that, some people of SP are thinking about organizing a caravan to join the two cities. This would be pretty! But I do not have notice of organization of events in other places, in other cities, and in case that they have, it would very like to be kept informed or to help in that she will be necessary. In Salvador, it is with some regret that story that after 4 carried through meetings, did not obtain to join enough people for accomplishment of a march and opted to strategical alterations. Of nothing an emptied walk advances, that runs the risk of not being a pretty intervention and weight. Of this form, I decided that for here we will respect the date of the GMM, inserting our together event to the event most global, but the format that we will give will not be of march. The idea is that all are syntonized in the same day, in the same intention: To foment quarrels for the revision of the laws anti-drugs, particularly, anti-marijuana. Therefore, no matter how hard it seems to be a more difficult event to organize, for being bigger and to last more days, the proposal of Salvador is more easy for me to carry through therefore has some experience in organizing events of this type. The event will count on 3 days, and intends to be an intervention of social and academic matrix, promoting the debate on the subject and making possible that information on the subject are argued in an open and democratic way. Until the moment the proposal is organized second below: Debtor to all for the patience, We will keep them informed of the next episodes, One I hug, Sergio Vidal, vulgo Rastafari Soul PS: I suggest that, in the places where is not possible to carry through walks, in let us join them to day 5 of May, constructing some type of intervention in the daily one of the city, nor that it is a simple thing as an artistic performance, or an installation. They are creative and if they join to the World-wide Day of Marijuana.
