San Francisco Considers Official Sponsor For 420 Event

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – A move is underway in San Francisco to make the 4/20 gathering in Golden Gate Park an officially sponsored event.

The annual unsanctioned gathering attracts thousands of marijuana fans to park every April 20th.

Now, city officials are considering allowing a private entity to sponsor 4/20 day.

How it would work isn’t clear. For instance, the event would be limited to people 18 and over, but there’s no plan for checking identifications.

Another question is whether the ban on smoking in city parks would be enforced for the duration of a sanctioned event celebrating pot smoking.
