Williamsburg sparked tonight with Brooklyn’s 4/20 Burn Out, igniting NYC’s cannabis scene on April 18. Organizer Sofia Chen spun DJ sets as 300 toked, a free bash with raffles for Mets tickets. It’s borough haze—pure BK vibe, buds hot. A newbie coughed hard; a pro rolled a joint. ‘Brooklyn blazes—this is it,’ Chen says, cueing beats. The lot turned cloud.
The burnout’s fresh—April 18’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing streets by 8 p.m. Chen’s a Greenpoint stoner; tonight’s crowd hit max—smoke swirled. A latecomer nabbed a spot; raffles flew—NYC grit glowed. Giveaways hit Knicks swag—vibes ruled. #BK420 trended; Queens wants a puff.
Some griped—’Too smoky,’ sniped a passerby, dodging clouds. A speaker buzzed—fixed quick; party held. A rival’s pitching a Bushwick smoke-out, splitting stoners. Still, 400 stayed—haze reigned. Williamsburg’s never blazed so bold.
Chen’s teasing a weekend run, maybe a dispensary pop-up if spring stays green. ‘NYC’s high—this lifts it,’ she says, packing decks. The burnout’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets groove. It’s a 4/20 rush; catch the next. Bring buds—streets call.
