Church Steps Up to Support 4/20 Celebrants in San Francisco
After the city canceled its official 4/20 event due to budget constraints, the Church of Ambrosia is providing essential services at Hippie Hill.
- The Church of Ambrosia is offering over 30 porta-potties, a medical tent, and water at Hippie Hill for the expected influx of visitors.
- Despite the official cancellation, thousands are anticipated to celebrate 4/20 at Hippie Hill, traditionally a major gathering spot.
- The church views the gathering as a 'religious pilgrimage,' equating it to a journey to Mecca for cannabis users.
- Local merchants and the church have collaborated to ensure safety and manage the crowd, amid reduced city support.
- San Francisco's budget cuts led to the cancellation of the official event, prompting community and church intervention.
