April 20, known as 4/20, marks a significant day in cannabis culture, celebrated across the United States with various events and promotions. Despite marijuana's illegal status at the federal level, 38 states have legalized some form of cannabis. Forbes released its 2024 Cannabis 42.0 list, highlighting industry innovators. Cities like San Francisco saw unofficial gatherings, such as the one near Hippie Hill, despite the official event's cancellation. Restaurants nationwide offered special deals to cater to the 'munchies,' a common side effect of cannabis consumption. The day also coincides with a string of palindrome dates, adding a unique twist to this year's celebrations.
San Francisco’s official 4/20 event at Golden Gate Park may have been canceled this year, but cannabis celebrants blazed forward Saturday, with the city and neighborhood groups stepping in to provide toilets and medical staff. https://t.co/4VDWhhrLi5
