Proponents of marijuana legalization are sponsoring Walk for Weed starting at 9 a.m. Monday at the Cheyenne Union Pacific Depot, 121 W. 15th St., an hour before the 2014 legislative session convenes.

The procession will walk six blocks to the Wyoming Capitol, then will march around the building.

Wyoming NORML is hosting the march. The organization is working on a petition it hopes to get on the 2016 ballot that would legalize pot for medicinal and recreational purposes.

In a separate effort, state Rep. Jim Byrd, R-Cheyenne, is sponsoring a bill that would decriminalize less than 1 ounce of marijuana.
