While Mounties watched, a crowd of about 250 people gathered in the spring sunshine to smoke weed in celebration of ''4-20'' - a police radio code for smoking pot. While police frowned at the event, no charges were laid. ''We are here to observe and as far as enforcement decisions, those are made on an individual basis,'' said Sgt. Gord Glasgow. ''Possession of marijuana is still against the law." He added police try to encourage youth to make positive lifestyle choices. ''Using drugs isn't one of them,'' he said. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
