Some of these events take place at the latest and greatest places to smoke pot legally with your homies. Others are classic spots from cannabis history, infused with energy from the victories activists and advocates have accomplished in ten states.<\/p>\n<p>While we can\u2019t promise the pot will be equally great everywhere, the vibes certainly will. At its heart, 420 is a day for like-minded people that enjoy the company of others and cannabis. Ever since\u00a0<a href=\"\/the-history-of-420\/\">the Waldos had their first rendezvous in San Rafael, California<\/a>, 420 has always been about the person-to-person experience.<\/p>\n<p>So this list is all about connecting. Grab some friends, a pack of backwoods, jump in a taxi and head to one of these various ragers in cities with adult-use cannabis laws around the country.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Denver-420-Rally.jpg\" alt=\"Denver Could Seal 13,000 Past Pot Convictions\" class=\"wp-image-41910\" \/><figcaption>Denver\u2019s 420 rally in 2014.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. free of charge. A bunch of Colorado performers are on the bill, with T.I. headlining the main event. That being said, security will be pretty tight and no backpacks will be allowed. All the Europeans there will finally understand why Americans wear cargo shorts when they see you pull two ounces out of each pocket.<\/p>\n<h4>Seattle \u2014 420Fest Seattle Hempfest<\/h4>\n<p>There is a ton of stuff do this weekend in Seattle, and the folks at the Seattle weekly\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thestranger.com\/things-to-do\/2019\/04\/17\/39938425\/52-weed-events-for-420-2019-in-seattle\" target=\"_blank\">The Stranger<\/a>\u00a0were kind enough\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thestranger.com\/things-to-do\/2019\/04\/17\/39938425\/52-weed-events-for-420-2019-in-seattle\" target=\"_blank\">to put together a list of 52 options<\/a>.

The event serves as their main membership drive of the year and is generally a great time. If you want to support the cause, or even help them throw Hempfest later this year, head on down.<\/p>\n<h4>Boston \u2014 Boston Common<\/h4>\n<p>America\u2019s oldest public common has traditionally hosted the nation\u2019s second largest activism-inspired rally in support of changing cannabis laws in late September every year. The\u00a0<a href=\"\/top-travel-tips-for-the-boston-freedom-rally\/\">Boston Freedom Rally<\/a>\u00a0is hosted by Massachusetts\u2019s NORML chapter MassCann at the Boston Common, but the real heads get out there for 420, too. You will find them at the top of the hill at the memorial bench dedicated to the late local cannabis activist\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailychronic.net\/2013\/25801\/remembering-michael-malta-king-pot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michael Malta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/DC-National-Cannabis-Policy-Summit.jpg\" alt=\"DC National Cannabis Festival Cannabis Now\" class=\"wp-image-32707\" \/><figcaption>The National Cannabis Festival in 2018.

The current level of access to cannabis in D.C. is rough, but there is still some good pot inside the beltway. If you score some, head to the Festival Grounds at RFK Stadium to enjoy Ludacris, Action Bronson, DJ Biz Markie, Backyard Band and more. Try and get a picture with an elected official and tag us on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h4>Los Angeles \u2014 Kushstock 7<\/h4>\n<p>LA is a bit of a wasteland for pot parties that aren\u2019t an underground black market sesh. However, pretty soon,\u00a0<a href=\"\/west-hollywood-is-set-to-double-the-number-of-pot-lounges-in-the-u-s\/\">West Hollywood will be loaded with 16 pot lounges<\/a>, so next year we\u2019ll likely recommend touring their events one by one. But that time hasn\u2019t come yet, so this year, we\u2019re recommending you and the squad load up for a trip to the pot-friendly town of Adelanto for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kushstock.life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kushstock 7<\/a>. Not only will you be puffing tough with your buds, but you\u2019ll be helping an old prison town transition to a new industry.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/People-On-Hippy-Hill.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42936\" \/><figcaption>San Francisco\u2019s Hippie Hill in 2016. Photo Gracie Malley for Cannabis Now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>San Francisco \u2014 Hippie Hill<\/h4>\n<p>The gathering at Hippie Hill in San Francisco\u2019s Golden Gate Park is the closest major 420 celebration to the holiday\u2019s ancestral home in San Rafael. In the years since California legalized adult-use cannabis, the event has gotten less chaotic and is now fairly well done \u2014 as the city figured it probably made sense to let someone take responsibility for the day\u2019s planning and logistics. You can also spend the day taking a tour of San Francisco\u2019s numerous lounges, but expect them to be packed. At 4:20 pm, the Waldos will be at\u00a0<a href=\"\/the-vapor-room-outgrows-adaptation\/\">the Vapor Room<\/a>\u00a0doing a meet and greet!<\/p>\n<h4>Oakland \u2014 Flyt Lounge<\/h4>\n<p>Starting on 420, Oakland will be opening a new combustion-friendly pot lounge, which is awesome because vapor pen parties are just not as much fun.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/flytlounge\/posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flyt Lounge<\/a>, attached to a delivery service with the same name, will have its grand opening to coincide with the holiday. Expect a ton of brand reps throughout the day, food and official opening ceremonies. With the lounge, they hope to employ a \u201ctry before you buy\u201d mentality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US,\u00a0<\/strong>what 420 events are you attending this year?<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/where-to-celebrate-420-across-america-this-year\/\">Where to Celebrate 420 Across America This Year<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\">Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nRead More: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/where-to-celebrate-420-across-america-this-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">Where to Celebrate 420 Across America This Year<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve got a list of events from coast to coast sure to spark maximum adventure and cloudy fun this holiday weekend.
