As part of the celebrations for International Marijuana Day, also known as “4/20″, at least 250 people gathered this Wednesday afternoon on Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, in Mexico City.
Despite the high temperatures, around 16:30 hours a musical and entertainment event began in the vicinity of Luis Pasteur Park, in front of the Senate House. This celebration was organized by members of the cannabis movement, although it is known that they did not have the permits to do so.
Many of the attendees arrived with friends and acquaintances, who set out to clean their weed and started smoking. Others demanded the playful use of marijuana with banners and slogans, since for a year the permission for self-use has been frozen in Congress. It is worth mentioning that the legal use of cannabis is for medicinal purposes.
Other curious people came to enjoy the rock concert, between the mist and the scent of “a touch”.
Supporters of this movement also closed the central lanes of Paseo de la Reforma in its section from the Glorieta de las Mujeres que Luchan (formerly Glorieta a Colon) to Avenida Insurgentes without affecting the roads of Avenida Insurgentes.
Elements of the metropolitan group of the Mexico City Ministry of Citizen Security arrived there, but they did not stop the participants, they only made an appearance and subsequently withdrew.
