Cannabis Law Reform Rally . Brockwell Park Brixton. Sun 23rd May 1982.

Nice picture of the Cannabis Law reform rally in Brockwell park Brixton 1982 with Nik Turners pyramid which had seen good service at Stonehenge. with a link up between a wicked turbo sound rig with Jah Shaka ,Coxsone, king Sounds and DBC´s boxes all connected in a huge horseshoe. Even Tony Banks came up to shake hands with the organisers backstage.

The African styled Ekome dance troupe from Bristol were lined up to play but unfortunately because of the huge numbers of people on stage the base collapsed and the centre of the stage caved in , fortunately it was only about 2ft 6in off the ground so nobody was hurt.     A day of sunshine and showers and a big thumbs up to the decriminalization of the cannabis user. About 5000 people turned up.

2002´s version looks well cool..And with the real possibilty of a reclassification of this mild intoxicant to a more enlightened approach to it´s status and availability for medical, social and industrial use.LONDON CANNABIS ACTION: Sat 4th May 2002
