(JOPLIN, Mo.) Nearly 4,000 people made it out to the 11th annual 'Cannabis Revival' in Joplin Saturday, advocating for legalization of marijuana.

They're advocating for "freedom," and they want it "now," say the crowd in a chant directed from the stage.

That leader on stage? Kelly Maddy, chair of the Joplin chapter of NORML, who organized the event, which is the fourth largest of its kind in the country.

He says they're for "any advancement toward the reform of marijuana laws, whether it be medical, industrial, recreational."

    Peoples have really being expecting for marijuana to be legal for long. If done, it should be done very wisely, to avoid problems.

    Also if it would be done the wrong way, it could be that it would be banned again. That is good reason for users too, to make sure it is done right.
