Hundreds are expected to descend upon Glasgow Green this month to celebrate 'going green' at the annual 420 Hempstock Festival.

Organised by the Glasgow Cannabis Social Club, just under 200 people have clicked attending on the event online to celebrate the Class B drug at a gathering on Friday, April 20.

On their Facebook event, organisers have promised "live music, hemp extract, speakers, stalls and raffles".

The pro-cannabis festival was first held at Kelvingrove Park in 2012, on April 20 or ‘Weed Day', with another event running simultaneously in London, Durham, Leeds and Derry.

This year's festival is set to kick off at 12pm, with revellers planning to join others across the world by “lighting up” at 4:20pm – despite not having the green light from Glasgow City Council.

Glasgow Cannabis Social Club said in a Facebook post: "Police Scotland have been notified of our event."
