Organizers of the annual 4/20 event at Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco announced that the 2024 celebration of all things cannabis has been canceled.
SAN FRANCISCO – In a statement posted on their website Monday, organizers said 'we have been unable to secure enough financial sponsorship to get everything required for a safe, clean, city & state compliant event. We will be back next year!'The group cited multiple reasons for the cancellation including city budget cutbacks, the current climate of the cannabis industry and the economy.
A long-time cannabis enthusiast and musician in San Francisco who gave his name as Zack Glue said Golden Gate Park holds memories of 4/20 celebrations. His experiences with the annual event go back to a time before it gained official recognition from the city.'It used to be cool to have a drum circle where everyone was gathering, smoking weed, and hanging out,' he reminisces.
