>> JOINTS ROLLED AND BONGS FILLED, CROWDS LIGHTING UP AT SAN FRANCISCO'S GOLDEN GATE PARK. HUNDREDS TAKING TO HIPPIE HILL SATURDAY IN CELEBRATION OF 420.

UH, THE ORGANIZER, COULDN'T GET THE SPONSORSHIP HE NEEDED. THE CITY IS FACING ITS OWN BUDGET CUTS AND SO WE COULDN'T, WE COULDN'T COVER ANY OF THOSE COSTS. >> BUT NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP THIS CROWD OF CANNABIS LOVERS. >> IT'S REALLY COOL KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WILL STILL COME OUT AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL JUST IN A CELEBRATION OF IT BEING 420. >> AND FOR SOME, THE TRADITION RUNNING GENERATIONS DEEP. >> WE'VE BEEN COMING OUT SINCE LONG BEFORE IT WAS EVER EVEN AN ORGANIZED EVENT, MY PARENTS USED TO COME OUT WHEN THEY WERE TEENAGERS IN THE 70S, AND THEY CELEBRATED EVERY YEAR, AND I JUST BEEN KIND OF CONTINUING THAT TRADITION FOR THEM. >> ME AND MY SIBLINGS HAVE BEEN COMING OUT FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, AND, WE LOVE COMING OUT TO HIPPIE HILL AND HANGING OUT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE OUT HERE. >> BUT HE SAYS IN PAST YEARS, THE PARK'S BEEN MORE PACKED COMPARED TO THE YEARS BEFORE. >> IT'S ABOUT HALF AS MANY PEOPLE, BUT WE'RE STILL A GOOD OUTCOME. >> ACTIVITIES LIKE VOLLEYBALL AND KICKBALL FILLING SOME OF THAT OPEN SPACE. >> WE PARTNER WITH THE CITY THIS YEAR, TO BRING SOME COOL ACTIVITIES TO THE FESTIVITIES THAT ARE ALREADY HAPPENING HERE ON 420. >> AND WHETHER JUMPING HIGH OR GETTING HIGH, THE CROWDS GETTING ALONG. >> PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REALLY, REALLY COOL AND RESPECTFUL.
