50 Elevated Ways to Commemorate 420 in 2022
Happy 420 Day! 4/20 is days away, and we are stoked to celebrate our favorite herb with you! Every year, 420 celebrations take place around the world to commemorate our love for the world’s most controversial plant. Affectionately referred to in the past as the stoner new year, 420 has come a long way from its roots. Legend has it 420 originated as a secret code between a group of California teens to meet after school and get high. Wonder if those teens ever imagined it would be legal and available on numerous streets corners (in legalized states) across the country. Not only is it a great time to be a cannabis consumer, but it’s also a major money-making day (and week and month) for cannabis brands, dispensaries and ancillary brands. Whether you’re honoring the day on your own in this weird somewhat-out-of-the-woods pandemic world, or you’re partying boldly with friends indoors or out, we got your back with a list of creative ways to celebrate 420 this year. Stop stressing about what to do for 420, and start the 420 celebrations now!
- First and foremost, take advantage of ALL the Happy 420 Day cannabis deals!
