By admin | October 7, 2023 |

Golden Gate Park’s Robin Williams Meadow was a hive of activity Wednesday as crews prepared to host 20,000 cannabis enthusiasts for the 4/20 unofficial holiday. The celebration has underground origins, but has become both a cultural and commercial event.

The true story of 4-20 has to do with John Davison Rockefeller Junior and the Ludlow Massacre that took place on 4/20/1914😊

Invite all the homeless to this event so they can enjoy cannabis instead of fentanyl

Dude, what time does Taco Bell open?

Notice now abortion is the hot topic and we pay sales tax we stoners are forgotten by the GOP? Shades of what is to come for pro life supporters. The conservatives always find something new to harbor anger over and be afraid of. Your pro lifeness dear conservatives will become old hat as did prohibition for the Grand Old Party. Shade of things to come.

And taxed to death on weed
donworryboudat on October 7, 2023 at 11:23 pm

Now they make you pay for tickets to get into hippie hill.. shits ridiculous. I miss the old days!

Cannabis like many others things are fine in moderation. Excess of anything tends to be harmful. Just stay away from hard drugs and too much alcohol and nicotine.

sounds fun wonder how many people will get arrested for driving under the influence
