‘420’ gathering brings more than a thousand to Redwood Park | The Eureka Reporter
Consuming comestibles from ganja ice cream to hash lollipops — or even hash itself — more than 1,000 people gathered at Redwood Park on Sunday to celebrate “420” — a reference commonly used when referring to marijuana culture.
Along with the sizable crowd, 10 police officers were visible patrolling the scene.
It was something to see, with loud, persistent bongo music louder and camp tents set up alongside beach blankets.
Right around 4:20 p.m., a section of the crowd began to go wild.
A cloud of smoke rose above the heads of a small group, as its members began to smoke a joint that was at least a foot long and as wide as a hearty burrito.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
I was looking at some feed back as to what to expect for my road trip up to the Humboldt county this 420 and this is what I stumbled upon. This article has made feel full of glee! I am even more excited about my trip with one of my best friends up North. We will be making stops all along the coast and this will be one of the first before we head down the coast back to Redlands, CA. A joint the size of of a burrito? WOW who wouldn’t be stoked? Peace…
