Why do people still do 420 in 2023?

Once a year, the stoners of the UK congregate at Hyde Park 420 to celebrate everything to do with weed.

But it’s 2023, and people are still coming to Hyde Park to get zooted at 420… why?

    These people are programmed and don’t really ask themselves questions. Just smoke if you smoke.

    Rebelling against the people who planned the event lol

  18. 𝔉𝔦𝔧𝔦 on July 28, 2023 at 7:37 pm

    1:25 is it just me or I could not take this part serious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂



  19. Tom Manley on July 28, 2023 at 7:38 pm

    I used to think all drugs should be legalised but now ive got kids i wouldnt want them growing up where they can ask Bill to pop in Tesco and pick them up a pack of superspliffs. Keeping it illegal deters a lot of young people from smoking it due to the stigma attached with illegality and lets be honest, there would be a lot more smokers than there are currently.. medically prescribed however is a completely different argument



  20. Laurențiu Constantinescu on July 28, 2023 at 7:39 pm

    can someone please tell me the name of the song at the end? tank you!



  21. Rob Blaettler on July 28, 2023 at 7:43 pm

    Let people do as they wish. If you want to put yourself into a mind altering head space, go for it. But everyone in this video made excuses just saying



  22. Freezeland on July 28, 2023 at 7:44 pm

    Young People love to be lazy and paranoid but when its time to grow up it doesnt feel good anymore 😮‍💨



  23. Lone Wolf on July 28, 2023 at 7:48 pm

    They should make CIGARETTES 🚬 a class A drug.



  24. Nikolas Maes on July 28, 2023 at 7:49 pm

    Also Brussels fault that it isn’t legalised yet, right?
    Google this German: Health minister Lauterbach.
    It’s happening folks.



  25. L0ve1tRetr0 on July 28, 2023 at 7:52 pm

    The origins of why 420 relates to weed are well documented to be unknown.

    At least you didn’t go with, "Its the code for possesion of marijuana in NYC.", but to state any origin as true is wrong.

    Even if it happens to be the correct origin story, it’s never been confirmed.



  26. Scott Thompson on July 28, 2023 at 7:54 pm

    Big nasty wanting a shit😂



  27. julio gallo on July 28, 2023 at 7:55 pm

    420 forever like it or not



  28. Vieng K on July 28, 2023 at 7:57 pm

    why is young john mayer interviewing stoned people in the park



  29. Paul Smith on July 28, 2023 at 7:58 pm

    The old Boy was on point 💯



  30. Eddie Howes on July 28, 2023 at 7:59 pm

    Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life from depression and excessive weed smoking. Never had a bad trip.



  31. Tree Snackz on July 28, 2023 at 8:01 pm

    “Just get high “ I agree with the lady in the intro



  32. Brodzzzzz on July 28, 2023 at 8:04 pm

    So absolutely sick of our Australian Government, Bunch of dinosaurs, Can’t believe it’s still Illegal here.



  33. Bob Bob on July 28, 2023 at 8:05 pm

    Mad how many issues you get with drunk football fans starting riots, and yet fron what ive seen from every time ive been, there hasnt been an ounce of violent crime in hyde park the entirety of 4/20. Somehow weed is the one thats criminalised and stigmatised, but having violent drunks parade about the streets harassing locals every time a match is on is completely normalised and okay.



  34. Chris Hollins on July 28, 2023 at 8:05 pm

    I’m so confused! I thought it’s illegal in Uk or London?🤔



  35. Bob Bob on July 28, 2023 at 8:06 pm

    Its human comfort



  36. Mihai Viteazul on July 28, 2023 at 8:06 pm

    it is not good for your health, only couple of medical cases proves it, what makes you feel good and think is good for your health, might be a danger for others



  37. Suraj Mishra on July 28, 2023 at 8:07 pm

    Peace 🕊️❤



  38. Nelson Ferreira on July 28, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Ja bless



  39. Zacric Parks on July 28, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Im 30 years old and since the age of 18 ive smoked every day and since 25 ive smoked all day and night every day so let me tell you something to destroy some propaganda i have a amazing memory i can rememeber all the way to when i was 3 and 4 you tell me something once and ask me again later ill remember so the memory thing is fake also they say after so lpng and when using it slows your motor function yeah thats why i can function more at 100% capacity when i smoke . Cannabis didnt cause my mental issues my childhood and this life have caused me mental striff and thats the cause of my mental problems and olf drinking and drig habits but ive havent drank for years and years and as for my opioid use disorder the Cannabis has actually helped keep me off pain pills and heroin. Not to mention if i didnt smoke it id be so high on opioids pain killers and so zombiefied from antiphycotics atleast on Cannabis i can still function perfectly. Also atleast the God given plant is natural unlike the hazardous chemicals the use to make all those legal pills that hurt me or did nothing to help. So ill continue to smoke and use cannabis to treat my bodys illnesses and mind!



  40. Seeking Success on July 28, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    no deaths of cannabis is terrible statistic to go off of.



  41. Walley on July 28, 2023 at 8:11 pm
