The roar of a crowd echoed through the streets of downtown Dallas Saturday.
Close to 1,000 people joined a march in support of what organizers call sensible marijuana policy in the state of Texas.
"I believe responsible adults should be able to make adult decisions," said Shaun Mcalister, Executive Director of Dallas-Fort Worth NORML.
NORML is a national organization dedicated to reforming marijuana laws.
At the march, which started at the JFK Memorial Plaza, it was hard to ignore people like Dale Turner, who donned a cannabis costume he calls "Pot Man."
"I giggle and laugh about it," Turner said. "A lot of people wanted a picture with me today."
For others, the march had a much deeper meaning.
"While I was going through my chemotherapy treatments, I used cannabis to help me with my nausea," said breast cancer survivor Barbara Humphries.
Humphries is hoping for a clearer legislative bill that will make medicinal marijuana more accessible to the everyday patient.
A bill signed this year by Gov. Greg Abbott only gives epilepsy patients access to low doses of cannabis oil.
