All bidding will close at 4:20 p.m., but the rally gets underway at noon at the Ministry of Health office on the corner of Pandora Avenue and Blanshard Street. The City of Victoria has officially declared Nov. 15 International Medical Marijuana Day since 2002. The art auction contains 23 pieces from nearly as many artists. Contributors include David Calles, Virginia Smallfry, Fayaz Kara, Steve (Walbran) Pittner, Al Cowie, Terry Finnie, Helen Bryes and the late Paula Hill. Proceeds from the auction go to a patient in need who has recently been rendered homeless. For more information visit www.hempology.ca , or call 250-381-4220. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
