The 8th Cannabis Liberation Day will take place on June 11th, 2017, 2PM till 10PM. The event is free. On Cannabis Liberation Day we celebrate the international cannabis culture and show how much good this plant has to offer. Cannabis Liberation Day calls for tolerance and widespread use of hemp as durable resource and challenges the crminalization of the plant, the cannabis consumers, coffee shops and cultivators. Click here for the Facebook event page.
