The global movement to legalize marijuana and bring an end to the drug war had a big push this past weekend on Saturday 5th May with marches all around the world, including Buenos Aires.  Smokers, growers, and even politicians gathered at Plaza de Mayo to march through the streets of Buenos Aires, ending up at Congreso to call for the end of the criminalization of the green weed.  Photographers Luján Agusti, Pedro Lampertti, and Patricio Murphy braved the clouds of smoke and the contact-high to bring our readers photographs from Saturday’s march.
