There was a lot of interest in our post about the rescheduling of the Denver 4/20 Rally, featuring Wiz Khalifa and Lil Wayne.

The event was originally scheduled to take place on April 16, but its plug was pulled at the last minute because of a snowstorm that is said to have prevented at least one headliner from making it to Denver for the big show.

Now, the gathering is slated for May 21 — and organizers say both Wiz and Wayne are committed to taking part.

Still, some readers feel the 4/20 rally is outdated in the age of legal cannabis sales — including this one.
