About 35,000 marijuana legalization advocates, area students, and
politicians converged on Boston Common yesterday for the 13th annual
Freedom Rally.

The six-hour gathering, which some have dubbed ''Hempday,'' featured
speakers, live band performances, appearances by Green Party and
Libertarian gubernatorial candidates, and more than 25 vendors
selling anything and everything pot-related.

Fifty-two people were arrested, most on drug-related charges, said
Officer John Boyle, a Boston police spokesman. Boyle said no serious
disturbances were reported during the event.
