Marijuana Man
An international visitor dresses in Cannabis costume-clothing for the celebration of the 2010 MardiGrass Festival in Nimbin Australia. An estimated 10,000 cannabis-lovers attended the 3 day festival which has its roots in the Aquarius festival in 1973. The MardisGrass was initiated in 1993 after police raids and marginalisation of people and business within the town caused locals to explore other avenues for the reform of Marijuana laws. An estimated 33% of the Australian population smoke cannabis and Nimbin inland from the popular coastal tourist location of Byron Bay is the Nations unofficial Marijuana capital attracting thousands of backpacking-travellers per year.
