Another 4/20 is in the history books, with thousands flocking to Hippie Hill in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to celebrate legal weed. As they created a huge cloud of thick smoke, we asked them why they like this holiday so much. Watch more:
Though lines were long for the cannabis dispensary booths selling pre-rolled joints and edibles on site, lines were even longer for the vendors selling piping hot food."Garlic fries!" exclaimed one man who finally made it to the front of the line."I think they're amazing, and I haven't even tried them yet!"
Nearby, another man had just finished dressing two hot dogs with a mountain of condiments and was preparing to chow down on them.As 4:20 p.m. drew near, the crowd began making plans for the big moment — rolling joints and figuring out who to share them with. "I've got the biggest joint here," proclaimed a man who said he's a five-time joint rolling world champion.
He held up a giant joint shaped like a cannabis leaf that he said contained half a pound of weed — a quantity worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. He designed the joint to be passed around and smoked through the leaf's stem.With help from the emcee onstage, the crowd counted down from 10 as a gray haze rose up over the park.
"Just relaxing, smoking, having a good time," said a man hanging out with the green-haired woman we spoke to earlier.This article tagged under:
