As pot smokers celebrate the holiday of all things marijuana, The Daily Beast crunches the numbers to determine the 40 highest cities. PLUS: VIEW OUR GALLERY of celebrities who toke.

April 20 is a date born out of many myths: It was police shorthand (“420”) for marijuana smoking, it was the time of a daily toking ritual of a high school crew in San Rafael, California, and it was an orchestrated event by Deadheads in the early ‘90s.

Regardless of origin, 4/20 is now universally known as the annual date of celebration for those with pot-smoking, counterculture pride. This year, 15,000 residents and students in Boulder will crowd together for the University of Colorado’s annual smokeout, marijuana magistrates will gather to judge the best medical marijuana at the annual Oly 420 Cup in Olympia, Washington, and the All American Health and Healing Cooperative will host a 420 Celebration fest in Los Angeles where, for $75, attendees can learn to clone plants, enter a raffle for five ounces of pot, and snag a photo-op in the “Garden of Weeden.”

I can't believe that in the year 2010 the government still wants to pretend they can control marijuana.

While I myself am no longer a smoker I wish those of you who are a happy 420.

Thanks GMM - you articulated my thoughts.
Regardless of opinion on 420 - it's about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as each of us defines it.

I do not like to use the word 'marijuana'. It is a derogatory Mexican slang word that has been propagandized and used to demonize one of the greatest natural resources on planet earth. Dont be fooled.

I have actually found that just changing the term to cannabis is enough to get all kinds of people to listen to an intelligent argument/stance. We have all been inculcated into hearing the word 'marijuana' and directly connecting it to 'drugs', 'illegal', 'bad', etc.

As a matter of fact, we should celebrate the fact that all of our most sacred documents, and flags were once made from hemp, The most abundant resource on the 3rd rock from the great Orb.

PEACE!

Absolutely! Besides it being a victimless crime, the uses for the plant are almost never ending, including as a bio-fuel.

There's the rub. Chopping down trees and burning fossil fuels is making a few men rich, and selling guilt over chopping down trees and burning fossil fuels is making their buddies rich. They make money from from the disease and the antidote, all the while passing the costs of a degraded enviroment and onerous cap n trade laws onto you and your children.

They won't allow some cheap abundant weed ending all that.

Hemp is one of those things that make me think there may actually be an intelligent designer who created this planet.
