The Hanfparade took place on 13 August 2005 in Berlin. It took place under the motto, "We are the hemp!"—a play on the slogan
"Wir sind das Volk!" used by the East Germans before the opening of the
inner German border. The demonstration started at 12:00 at the city hall
Rotes Rathaus accompanied by five parade floats and by the citizens of Berlin city center. The parade was again smaller than in the previous years with 1000 to 1200 participants. This was because (among other things) the closing speech was forbidden at short notice by the office responsible for green area. The police enacted substantial controls and wrote 24 announcements because of offenses against the
BtMG (German narcotic law). ==2004==
