So why is 4/20 chosen as the day everyone feels the needs to get baked out of their minds? There are 364 other days in the year that we're sure any cannabis connoisseur doesn't discriminate smoking on. But we suppose we shouldn't try rationalize something created by people in a purple haze.

Still, that didn't stop the 420 Music Festival by closing out the event last night at PS14 with a 4/20 BBQ Smokeout. Coppa Stone, Spread the Dub, Don Sha, ArtOfficial, King Bee, and Boy Prostitute performed and our cameras were there to enjoy the contact high. Click here to view the full slide show.
