Marijuana smokers across the US and Canada lit up yesterday in public parks and outside statehouses to observe the movement's annual high holiday, known as 4/20

April 20 has become a de facto holiday for marijuana advocates, with large gatherings and 'smoke outs' in many parts of North America

The gatherings carry on a tradition that began in San Francisco in the early 1970s, where a group of students met every day at about 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana

Most Americans still oppose legalising marijuana, but many believe pot has medical benefits and the government should allow its use for that purpose
