Hey SoCal! Yesterday, cannabis connoisseurs of Southern California celebrated April 20th (aka 420). In honor of this high holy day, we sent photographer Jason Kentaro to The Artist Tree in West Hollywood for the grand opening of their new cannabis consumption lounge to capture the high points on camera. Enjoy the visuals!
