420 Events 2012: List of 4/20 Celebrations, Parties, Things To Do

Happy 420! Tomorrow is April 20, 2012. Here are Some Ways To Enjoy 420 2012!

April 20, 2012 marks another 420, a day to celebrate marijuana and cannabis culture. Over the years, 4/20 has grown into a global event with celebrations held around the world.

In case you haven't heard, 4-20 is a day when people gather in public place at 4:20 pm to smoke some of that sticky-icky.

420 2012 events will be held in major cities all over the world including New York, Amsterdam, Vancouver, and all parts in between. 4/20 will kick off in Australia where 420 events will take place in cities like Sydney and Brisbane.

Of course, some authorities aren't thrilled with the prospect of 420.  The University of Colorado at Boulder, for instance, wants to clamp down on the event. Of course, they seem to say that every year.

If you're not looking to be out in public, Guyism has an excellent list of ways to celebrate 420 on your own. The list includes using a vaporizer to get high and/or watching the Big Lebowski over and over.

Or you could just sit at home and enjoy a book--say, Snoop Dogg's new smokable book.
