Things moved slowly on Parliament Hill Thursday – and not just because the House of Commons is adjourned until May 1.

A haze of marijuana smoke hung over the Hill as hundreds lit up during the annual 4/20 demonstration, which pushes for the drug’s legalization. The smoke was naturally its thickest around 4:20 p.m.

The federal government tabled legislation to legalize marijuana earlier this month. #420 on the Hill - Curated tweets by ottawastart

  Is it just me, or does this afternoon's view from the Peace Tower seem a bit hazier than usual? . . . #420 #Parliament #PeaceTower #Ottawa #Canada
