Sponsored by Texas NORML
[FONT=&quot]The Texas Cannabis Crusade will be held on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009. We are marching for the re-legalization of cannabis. If you would like to join thousands of Texans flooding the streets of Austin in the name of cannabis reform, please join us.[/FONT]​

The first annual [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Texas Cannabis Crusade[/FONT][FONT=&quot] was held on May 3rd, 2008. ( http://www.texascannabiscrusade.com/2008 ) This one actually gives a lot more information, such as how long the walk is, but be careful of the date- this one is from last year.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
The event was a huge success, with nearly 300 cannabis using Texans marching through downtown to the Capitol and over 1,000 attendees at Zilker Park.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Below is some news coverage of the event. [/FONT]

MAY 16TH Somewhere Around DALLAS, TX

Candle-Light Vigil to honor Texas medical marijuana 'patients' & draw attention to HB 164.

Hosted by DFWNORML

Now seeking volunteers to help with letting people know about the event.

There will be speakers present. We are seeking speakers who use medical marijuana, or their caregivers.
We have applied for a LEAP speaker to appear.
We're trying to get a politician to speak, too.

This is in its early planning stages and I am in need of people who live around the DFW area. I need recommendations as to which park to use, etc.

For information on any of these 3 events, please contact the organization putting them on.

To volunteer or help out in any way, large or small, with the Candle-Light Vigil, please contact me at:
