Aside from sizzling entertainment from fire-arts ensemble Cirque de Fuego and a late-night set from irrepressible dance machine DJ Disco Phantom, the event includes appearances from Vermont Cannabis Solutions and Lt. One of the biggest official 4/20 parties happens on Saturday at Zenbarn in Waterbury. Most of the following events aren't officially 4/20-related - but the timing for many is beyond perfect, and I'm making an executive decision to brand them as such. That said, those who enjoy cannabis responsibly should have plenty of fun things to choose from this weekend. And you definitely don't want to get behind the wheel with any kind of buzz on, no matter what substance you used. You shouldn't feel empowered or entitled to toke up anywhere you dang well please. Second, it's still illegal to consume cannabis in public spaces - as it is with alcohol - so nothing much has changed in that regard. That week's paper will be brimming with the latest on all things Green.
First, Seven Days' official cannabis issue comes out on Wednesday, May 15.

You're likely to get a whiff of the plant's signature spicy aroma no matter where you go. For the first time in our state's history, cannabis is legal to consume in a recreational capacity on the stonerific holiday. I'm referring to Saturday, April 20 - aka 4/20. But this week, I'd like to direct your attention to some events that pertain to an extra-special day of remembrance - or a day of forgetfulness, depending on how well you can handle yourself. Throughout the year, you can look to Soundbites for spooky Halloween happenings, Santa-related soirées and New Year's Eve nonsense.
