A group called Legalize Louisiana is leading statewide marches today seeking to change Louisiana laws and legalize marijuana.
Donnie Griffith, founder of Legalize Louisiana, says rallies will take place in four cities across the state this afternoon.
In New Orleans, Loyola NORML and Tulane NORML join the effort and will rally and march starting at 2:00pm at the federal courthouse on Poydras Street.
Organizers say they want to protest the prohibition of marijuana and rally in support of the "victims of the drug war."
They have encouraged people to prepare flyers, signs, chants, and any other methods to express their free speech and support of legalizing marijuana.
Griffith says he knows any attempt to actually change the laws is several years away. He says they need time to educate the public and raise awareness.

if all states said it was legal..passed a law..each and every state..would the federal law still hold?
YDG - I think so, you would just have the privilege of being busted by the DEA instead of state or local police.
Ever notice how we don't get to vote on Federal laws?
if people can overthrow military regimes in the middle east why can't we overthrow marijuana laws????
i guess smoking pot just makes us too mellow.
I wonder if that's what happened in California. All the people that wanted it remain illegal voted and the stoners said "I'll vote for it next time."
