DescriptionSome 20,000 marijuana advocates marched on the streets of Canada's largest city Toronto on Saturday, calling for legalizing the drug.

The demonstrators, taking part in the ninth annual Global Marijuana March being held in 232 cities, blew smoke on the lawn of Queen's Park in Toronto and puffed away as they marched the streets, reports reaching here said.

"It's incredible that 20,000 people are meeting only 100 yards from the legislature to demand that marijuana be legalized, to celebrate our culture and to defy the law with almost open sanction of the entire City of Toronto," said activist Marc Emery from British Columbia nicknamed Canada's "Prince of Pot."
