A rally was organized by Philadelphia area college students to show President Obama that America is serious about legalizing cannabis.
The President and Vice President Joe Biden are making a campaign stop in the Germantown section of Philadelphia.
The Facebook group shows over 600 people plan on attending today to hold signs or wear buttons and stickers. The theme is 'Tax and Regulate' using the marijuana leaf.
"We want President Obama to start working on legalizing marijuana nationally," said Lawrence Frydman, one of the key organizers.
"This is also a way for people on the East Coast to support Prop. 19 in California."
The upcoming CA ballot initiative would legalize and tax recreational marijuana. California voters get the measure on November 2 and current polls favor it passing by a slim margin.
PhillyNORML and NORML-NJ are the local chapters of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Volunteers and advocates from both groups are attending today to participate and support the student effort.
Local medical marijuana patients are attending to bring attention to the struggle they face for safe cannabis access.
Organizers are planning a 2:30 start time for participants.
