Huge crowds expected to take over Leeds park for 4/20 day to celebrate weed

Huge crowds are expected to gather on Woodhouse Moor in Hyde Park for 4/20 day next week to celebrate cannabis.

Last year drone footage showed people packed onto the hazy park, with smoke seen drifting above the crowds. April 20, or 4/20 in US form, has become an international day for the celebration of cannabis and counterculture, taken from the slang 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty), which refers to smoking cannabis, especially around 4.20pm.

But there was anger after the park was left trashed after hundreds descended for the celebration. Videos from the park in Leeds showed rubbish piled high prompting Leeds City Council to slam those who chose to leave their mess behind in a public warning.
