Israelis for Cannabis

Here's a late report on the Million Marijuana March event in Israel. There's no attendance figures but some 30 people were arrested for possession. Police claim to have seized large amounts of drugs, "including a chocolate cake filled with Marijuana." At that point the police went from undercover efforts to simply shutting the event down, confiscating the sound system and detaining organizer Boaz Wachtel, for "questioning." He was later arrested. "I am not sure what I'm being arrested for," he said.

MK Roman Bronfman who arrived at the scene attempted to convince police officers to let the event continue. "It is a mistake to end the entire event because of a few smokers", he said.

Bronfman also said he believed the event was disrupted in order to prevent him from talking in favor of the legalization of soft drugs. "The police is attempting to prevent an MK from expressing his opinion in a legitimate manner", he told reporters.

I'm not sure what a MK is but I assume it's some kind of government official. Meanwhile, Israeli reformers vow to continue the fight for legalization of our plant.
