LOS ANGELES -- If you forgot marijuana is legal in California, just look to the Hollywood sign.

The landmark has been altered to say "HOLLYWeeD" in an apparent New Year's prank, KABC reports.

A Los Angeles Police Department representative said the agency was aware of the vandalism and would investigate.

Surveillance video shows one man acted alone, TMZ reports. He apparently used a tarp to change the final two capital "O"s into lowercase "e"s.

In November, California voters passed Proposition 64, allowing adults 21 and older to use marijuana for recreational purposes.
