There’s no permits issued, it’s not really legal, but usually the city tends to turn a blind eye when 5,000+ of people turn up on Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park on April 20th each year for a giant smoke out. Let’s just pray for no federal bust up.
How to stay on the good side of the cops? Don’t bring in any glass bottles, coolers, don’t amplify your sound too early and don’t be a dick – just come and be cool and mellow and the cops in the past have generally just formed a perimeter and let people be.
