Various of march STORYLINE: Dozens of people on Thursday marched through the streets of Quito to demand the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes. The demo was part of the Global Marijuana March in which people across the world hold protests during the first week of May. In Quito, many smoked as they marched. Daniel Taco, one of the organizers, defended the various benefits of cannabis aside from its recreational use. Since 2019, cannabis is legal in Ecuador for medical purposes, allowing some companies to create a small industry aimed at therapeutic uses. The Ecuadorian government requires users to have a medical permit to grow the plant themselves. Otherwise users could face a penalty of one to three years in prison, while the possession of a harvested plant is punishable with up to 13 years in prison.
