I like to celebrate 4:20 in the afternoon (and sometimes the morning) as often as possible, so when the actual day April 20th finally rolls around, it’s obviously time to roll some phat dubbies, fire them up and get high as fuck — ideally in a public place. This year was no different, as countless stoners across America and around the globe lit up in joyous rapture, spreading the sweet smell of ganja for all to enjoy!

Here in New York, greenies converged upon Central Park’s bandshell for a gathering of pot smoking and (one assumes) bad hippie dancing to the “jambient” sounds of some band called Glint. And a few blocks south in Times Square, NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) marked 4/20 with the unveiling of a giant animated billboard advertising the sad fact that weed busts in NYC have increased 4,600% since 1992. Watch a clip of the sign here:
