Activists who support legalizing marijuana paraded through New York City with giant joints as part of the annual Cannabis Parade on Saturday, May 6. The parade was part of the Global Marijuana March, which held events in several cities worldwide.

The event started with a parade that wound through the streets to Union Square where a rally and concert was to be held for attendees.

The event’s website lent support to the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, a bill that would legalize and regulate marijuana in New York.
