See the 199 listed cities for may 2002

Norge - Norway Europa - Europe USA + The rest
Oslo and Trondheim: In Trondheim there was about 200 people. In Oslo about 1000+ marched. - NORMAL: "It's all a' big lie"!

Pinner mot politiet: Færre deltagere enn tidligere år i Oslo men ett vellykket og helt fredelig arrangement som i fjor, sier politikilde til 'freddiefreaks takredaksjon'.

Razzia: Hampemarsjen som ble borte i graset. "Noe av det morsomste etter hvert års marihuanamarsj er vurderingene av hvor mange som deltok".

Trondheim: 150+ i byens første hasjmarsj - Ett antall omtrent som den første marsjen i Oslo hadde i 1999. NORMALs arrangement i Trondheim ble bl.a. støttet av Grønn Ungdom, Venstre og Internasjonale Sosialister. IS prøver seg nå overalt også da...

Hasjelskere fylte opp Youngstorget - Paroler som "Legaliser cannabis", "Stopp hykleriet", "Hampforbud spotter skapelsen" og "Dørum må forstå -eller gå", slo adskillig bedre an blant ungdommen enn tunge, politiske paroler og søvndyssende politiske taler.

Trondheim: Bystyret representert på talerstolen. Ca. 150 personer møtte opp på mmm i Trondheim.

Trondheim: Reggae, røyking og drita russ

RAZZIA: Marihuanamarsjen i Oslo ble fjerde suksess på rad!

Oslo: De rundt 2000 hasjdemonstrantene startet marsjen rundt 15.30 og kom fram til Akershus festning en halv time senere. Da hadde et ukjent antall jointer blitt avfyrt.

Oslo: Dagbla' har flotte bilder fra mmm-2002

Oslo: Politiet blåste i hasjmarsjen :O)

Gaianet/Argus: Marihuanamarsjen gikk fredelig for seg i både Oslo og Trondheim lørdag 4.mai. Samme dag var det marsjer i 190 andre byer i hele verden. (antall byer var 199)

Trondheim: Beredskap mot hasjmasj - Det er varslet motdemonstrasjoner, og politiet griper inn på begge sider ved eventuelt bråk.

Trondheim: UMN elsker bråk og vil lage opptøyer under MMM-2002. UMN-Ungene sier de vil sperre veien for fredelige cannabistilhengere.

Blodig Hamp-Kamp uteble i Oslo - De fleste avisene håpet på bråk, men hasjbrukere er fredelige mennesker. For noen blasker er visst det helt uutholdelig...

Indymedia: Oslo: Tradisjonen tro skinner sola når legaliseringstilhengerne går i tog i Oslos gater. Slik var det i år også.

Indymedia: Trondheim: 200 i tog for avkriminalisering i Trondheim.

NORMAL har også etterhvert begynt å våkne etter anstrengelsene ( som arrangører av to vellykkede demoer er de unnskyldt for sløvinga si) og får nå etterhvert mmm-2002-nyheter ut på nett. - "Døm har jo en lett jobb med det nå, døm bare kopierer herfra, vettu", sier Anders fra Gjøvik i rimelig høy fistel og alle klapper mellom trekka. "Redaksjonen "på taket" hilser normal med ett rungende "Dere fikk det da til igjen" , ihvertfall!

NORMAL: Det hadde regnet i flere dager, men tradisjonen tro smilte Shiva som en sol og finværet kom. Over to tusen mennesker samlet seg på Youngstorget i Oslo 4. mai kl. 15.00 for å demonstrere mot løgner, intoleranse, arrestasjoner og det sinnsyke forbudet som nekter syke mennesker medisin.

NORMAL: Video og fotos fra MMM-2002

Hans på Hamar (+ den evindelige subba) hilser alle og sier han planlegger en utblåsning i sin by neste år (som på Domkirkeodden i 2000) og oppfordrer alle andre til å gjøre det samme i sin by.

Selv synes jeg folk på østlandet bør fortsette å ta seg til hovedstaden for å vise felles fredelig styrke i kampen for legalisering, men også at de som ikke har anledning arrangerer en markering på sitt hjemsted i form av en opplysningsstand med utdeling av brosjyrer som inneholder fakta om cannabis. Det er helt lovlig (søk allikevel tillatelse) NORMAL stiller med råd og materiell og du slår ett slag for yttringsfriheten som vi må beskytte mot krefter som f.eks NNPF og visse ordførere + ungene i UMN. Alle markeringer blir registrert på den internasjonale deltagerlisten.

Copenhagen: Det var et forrygende optog. Som sædvanelig foregik marchen i et hyggeligt og roligt tempo. Flere marchdeltagere spurgte vittigt om vi skulle gå ned og tage et tog til en anden by og gå en runde der også. Shiva vil det. Der var også nogle sjove norske cannabisbrugere med som råbte "Fri Hascccch". Bra købenrapport med bilder.
