Organizers, officials explain why SF's popular 420 Hippie Hill event is canceled this year

The city announced Tuesday that its annual 420 event at Hippie Hill in April which brings thousands of people to Golden Gate Park has been canceled.

"We wanted to support this amazing event that celebrates plant medicine," said Alex Aquino, the event's organizer.

He says the cancellation is because of two main factors.
