Vancouver is the place the be this 4/20, and no place within the city beats the Vancouver Art Gallery when it comes to smokey mass gatherings. The Gallery is best attended by mellow potheads who don't mix and match their drugs, as the crowd doesn't really lend itself to the paranoid. 'Tis a Vancouver tradition, and you don't have to worry about the cops. Get there before 4:20 p.m., duh.

High Times magazine also hosts a 4/20 party at Mansion in Miami tonight. It's a release party for an issue that features a "Top 10 Ganja Getaways" article. Apparently DMX is performing, though he doesn't have a very good track record for showing up for anything. More event listings are available at the magazine's website.

Separating Seeds and Stems from Nuggets of Advice

The argument over what a travel guide is supposed to be results in the many different kinds of guides that are out there. Some focus on hand-holding and important monuments, while others are all about the nightlife. No matter what, however, the concept is simple: give precious local knowledge to the non-local.

By that standard, WeBeHigh is an excellent travel guide. A repository of how to score pot on a country-by-country basis--really, from Aruba to Vietnam--it then discusses where you'll be likely to find dealers, how tolerant the country and city are about consumption, and whether you should eat that last cookie. There's no way to tell how legit the advice is--they say that the best place in Prague to buy is Chateau Rouge, which, well, it's not--but it makes for an entertaining read nonetheless.
