Photos from 420 celebrations across Canada

In what may be the final act of defiance from marijuana smokers across Canada before government legalization, citizens came out in droves from coast to coast to celebrate April 20th.

From Parliment Hill to the Pacific Ocean people were puff, puff, passing yesterday and no one seemed to shy away from posting their celebrations to social media.

Here are some of the best photos from around the web of Canada's 420 celebrations.
