Pot Enthusiasts Light Up On 4/20 Pot Enthusiasts Party At Cow Palace Pot Smoking Stars 'Higher' Education: Oakland School Of Pot Related Stories '420' Enthusiasts Honor Cannabis On High Holiday (4/20/2010)
Forget "Hippie Hill." For thoroughly modern marijuana smokers in the San Francisco Bay Area, the hip place to celebrate their movement's high holiday this year was the inside of a stretch Hummer parked outside a pot gardening superstore.
It was one of the more unusual places where marijuana legalization advocates lit up during the annual observance of 4/20, the celebration-cum-mass civil disobedience derived from "420" — insider shorthand for cannabis consumption.
Advocates in California trumpeted marijuana's rising commercial and political acceptance while producing collective clouds of pungent smoke — often under the watchful eyes of law enforcement officers who for the most part let the parties proceed.
A 3-month-old cultivation equipment emporium in Oakland got a 24-hour jump start on the festivities, sponsoring a "420 Eve" festival on Monday.
