City sanctioned 420 celebrations will take place in San Francisco on Wednesday after a pandemic pause for the last two years, ABC7 reports.

"We are asking everyone who attends this event to come with excitement and happiness and a desire to have joy during the event," said Mayor London Breed. "We want people to enjoy this safely."
Also, Mike Tyson will be there
