San Francisco 420 Events 2013: The Best Way To Celebrate Weed In The Fog City (PHOTOS)

We know, we know. Our friends in Washington and Colorado can legally enjoy bong rips while the fate of San Francisco's medical marijuana community still remains in the hands of the justice department.

But will that stop the city that birthed the Summer of Love from celebrating hemp's highest holy day? The Dude abides!

Since the term "420" was first coined at a high school in Marin (more on that here), San Franciscans have unabashedly marked the Greenest Day of the Year with concerts, festivals, limited-edition beers and a hearty helping of Sour Diesel.

And this Saturday will be no exception. Below, a roundup of the foggiest events hitting the Fog City for 4/20:

• Cypress Hill Show

• Snoop at The Fillmore

  Is he a dog or a lion? On 4/20 it doesn't matter, because the man who coined "hey hey hey hey, smoke weed every day" <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/11/snoop-dogg-420-show_n_3064367.html" target="_blank">only belongs to San Francisco</a>.
