I used a pipe for my first tokes. Smooth, piney, a strong skunky aroma. Right away I felt very relaxed, especially in my eyes and forehead, as the stress of the day melted away. One bowl and I was done–stoned and ready to watch a movie. I really didn’t feel the usual sativa effects; in fact, I fell asleep halfway through Tobey Maguire pretending to be Bobby Fischer.

reggae vibes and The Kyle Turley Band chipped in with some alt-rock spirit. Known for their specialty cocktails and appetizer-sized bites, the V Lounge made sure everyone was good and tossed. When looking around, everyone appeared a bit pie-eyed with a drink(s) in hand—signs of a successful event.

The 420 Games have a San Francisco edition in August, as well as stops in Colorado, Seattle and Oregon. Just like the Santa Monica rendition, those events will also feature marathons, mountain bike races (for Colorado and Oregon), and other competitions in support of de-stigmatizing marijuana and celebrating its empowering properties. See you next year!
