As the world marks the unofficial holiday of 420, thousands of marijuana enthusiasts gathered in New York City to celebrate the annual tradition. The event, which has become a symbol of cannabis culture, saw revelers lighting up joints and sharing in the spirit of the day. Despite marijuana still being illegal in the state, the event has become a tolerated spectacle, with many participants using the occasion to push for legalization. With the US federal government set to review its marijuana laws, the 420 celebrations in New York City are likely to be seen as a powerful symbol of the growing movement for cannabis reform.
