Well I didn't know these things existed but today I recieved a nice flyer (promptly filed in the bin with the remainder of the junkmail) inviting me to a 420 day at the local park . Apparently it is a festival to celebrate "cannabis culture"
Local press confirms it is actually a real thing as well and not someone who has had too many brownies and gone leafletting aimlessly

I kinda thought that cannabis use was illegal and doing it openly in a public park at a gathering for that purpose might not be a good idea but it seems this same thing happened last year and the police didn't do anything which I found interesting .
What do people make of this ?
Me personally obviously being a safety critical member of rail staff I cant and wouldn't take any drugs but I used to live with someone who smoked it sometimes and personally I don't see the big deal about it If It where up to me I would just legalize it for use at home behind closed doors and let people get on with it .

Hundreds of people are expected to go to the ‘420’ event at Platt Fields Park in Fallowfield on Sunday - as part of a series of worldwide events which campaign for the legalisation of marijuana.
