Every year on social media I ask readers and friend to send me events. This year I didn’t receive as many as in the past, I think in large part because 4/20 falls on a Wednesday this year. Also, some events were cancelled due to various reasons. But there are still some great events going on, from both a celebration and activism standpoint. I will personally be in Portland, Oregon, celebrating the holiday with some old friends and some new ones (I’m coming for you LeVaun, it’s celebration time!). Below are the events that I was invited to/sent, along with their links to their Facebook listings (if there is an event you want listed, shoot me an e-mail or invite me on Facebook and I’ll try to get it added before/after work, where are all the California events!?):
