- $4.
Every April, pot-lovers $4 to San Francisco to celebrate 4/20, an informal holiday for marijuana enthusiasts.
This year, the city is asking its people to celebrate with Netflix and takeout rather than the usual smoke-filled party on Hippie Hill, otherwise known as Robin Williams Meadow in Golden Gate Park.
San Francisco mayor London Breed issued a stern warning on Monday, to any marijuana enthusiasts looking to celebrate 4/20 later this month: stay away from the city.
"To be clear: 4/20 will not be tolerated this year. Do not come to San Francisco to celebrate... We will arrest people if necessary," Breed $4. "Order food. Watch Netflix. Stay home and stay safe."
The organizers behind San Francisco's 'Hippie Hill' celebration in Golden Gate Park had $4 the event, but it seems as if Breed was worried that people would $4 and pick a different spot to unofficially gather for the event.
San Francisco has allowed $4 during the city's nearly month-long shelter in place order, deeming medicinal cannabis to be an essential item for residents. But with many of the city's public recreation areas now closed and off-limits, including basketball and tennis courts, Breed made it clear that throngs of pot-smoking revelers would not be tolerated - no matter how essential their usage.
In her tweet on Monday, Breed included a short clip from a press conference that added more detail, telling people that the event would not be allowed to proceed "at the height of a pandemic."
