From the medicinal herb, to prohibitionist propaganda; from the War on Drugs to legalization, marijuana has come a long way.
Now, 24 states across the US and the District of Columbia legalized recreational marijuana with an additional 14 that allow for medical marijuana use.
According to Pew Research, roughly 9 out of 10 American adults now believe marijuana should be legal in some form.
Over the years we’ve seen 420 seep into the public consciousness. What started as a playful secret among teenage friends has become a significant cultural event, reflecting the changing attitudes toward cannabis. The future of 420 may see it morph into a more universally recognized day of freedom, advocacy, and community celebration.
Whether you’re a longtime cannabis enthusiast or simply cannabis-curious, 420 offers a moment to reflect on the progress made and the road ahead. It’s a day to advocate for policy changes, educate about safe use, and celebrate a plant that has brought relief and joy to many. So this April 20th, whether you attend a rally, visit a dispensary, or enjoy a quiet evening with friends, take a moment to appreciate how far the cannabis community has come and the vast possibilities that still lie ahead. Happy 420!
To celebrate 420 this year, listed below is a selection of products, some of my personal favorites that I recommend you try this 4/20.
Pinpoint Extracts
Pinpoint Extracts – Live Resin Mimosa Cartridge
Honestly, I can’t rave about this enough. The first thing I noticed was how high in terpenes it was; racking in almost 12% terps. For people who don’t like distillate but also want something that tastes and smells good, this is the one for you.
Vaping Mimosa first thing in the morning has drastically improved my mood and helped me start the day off fresh. This is perfect for people who want that little extra boost in the morning but not the tiredness. Anytime I have this cartridge it always puts me in such a good mood.
CODES
Codes – Strawnana Cobbler Preroll Pack (3.5)
Anytime I’m trying to get absolutely fried, CODES is always a hit. Their new pre-roll packs are so cost-effective for what you are getting. $35 for 7 joints already packed for you. Honestly, that’s such a steal for people like me who are tired of rolling every single day. It’s a job after a while, especially when you are the only one in your friend group who can reliably roll every single time.
The infused pre-rolls will have you ready to pass out and have the best sleep you’ve had in a long while. The one that I love most would be the Mixed Berry and Midnight Special XtremeJ’s.
Smokey River Cannabis
Smokey River Cannabis – Strawberry Lemonade Gummies 1000mg
For those who have a higher tolerance, these edibles are a lifesaver. Each 1000 mg package contains 10 gummies, each dosed at 100mg. I like these because I can just take one small gummy as opposed to eating a whole package of lower-dose edibles. What’s even better is if you go by one of the BesaMe Wellness Dispensaries, you can get these for only $50! What a steal.
Head Change
Head Change Concentrates – Cake Crashin
The holy grail of concentrates, otherwise known as my favorite wax brand, Head Change really will change the way you look at concentrates. This is a brand that cares about quality and you can see that with each product they put out. Always high in terpenes and bursting with flavor, you can never go wrong with any of their products. Ask any budtender at your local dispensary and I promise you will get rave reviews. Cake Crashin boasts ß-MYRCENE, ß-CARYOPHYLLENE, D-LIMONENE, LINALOOL, a-HUMULENE, NEROLIDOL, 2 ß-PINENE, and more in its terpene profile.
Curio
Curio – Black Cherry Vanilla Chews
One of the most well known medical marijuana companies, and one of the state’s newest brands – Curio brings a passion for wellness to cannabis consumers. With dosages of 10/25/40mg per piece the chews offer a tailored experience that accommodates diverse therapeutic needs. These chews are ideal for users who require different dosages throughout the day, ensuring flexibility and personalization in their experience The Black Cherry Vanilla Chews burst with cherry flavor and are made with all-natural colors and flavorings using no gelatin.
