This 420, cannabis is more widely available to your average consumer than it has been in decades. Recently,\u00a0some have argued<\/a>\u00a0that 420 is increasingly irrelevant, now that it\u2019s legal for adults over the age of 21 to consume in 10 states, two U.S. territories and Washington, D.C., as well as abroad in Uruguay and Canada.<\/p>\n

But we at Cannabis Now call on our readers, whether you\u2019re a wake-and-bake champion or a one-hit wonder, to reject the narrative that chalks up weed\u2019s appeal to its illicit status. We know that if you really appreciate the plant, you don\u2019t just ingest in search of a cheap thrill. You do it because it makes you feel good, because it brings you relief from a wide spectrum of ailments, because it\u2019s a great way to veg out with your friends, because it\u2019s\u00a0fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to maximize your good time \u2014 and the amount of good you can do \u2014 on this year\u2019s 420.<\/p>\n

What To Know About 420<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s easy to take 420 at face value, as a day dedicated to enjoying cannabis. But before you start smoking (or once you\u2019ve already begun), take some time to read up on the history of 420<\/a>. It\u2019s good to have context for why we\u2019re so obsessed with\u00a0this number<\/a>\u00a0in the first place, the\u00a0activists<\/a>\u00a0who\u00a0paved the way<\/a>\u00a0for the 420-friendly landscape we enjoy today, the\u00a0forgotten legacy<\/a>\u00a0of New York City\u2019s anti-prohibition movement and even how 420\u00a0isn\u2019t quite what it used to be<\/a>, thanks mostly to big business.<\/p>\n

What to Smoke This 420<\/h4>\n

We\u2019ve got you covered when it comes to the basics of cannabis consumption, from\u00a0rolling blunts<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0rolling cone joints<\/a>, choosing the\u00a0hypest strains<\/a>\u00a0right now, and\u00a0dabbing top-shelf concentrates<\/a>, because there are so many different ways to indulge your cannabis cravings.<\/p>\n

We also have guides from cannabis experts for creative ways to partake in the plant throughout the day. We have Ngaio Bealum \u2014 of Netflix\u2019s \u201cCooking on High\u201d fame \u2014 on\u00a0how to live your best 420<\/a>, Jimi Devine with\u00a0tips for how to consume cannabis like a pro<\/a>, and Mike Adams giving\u00a0a play-by-play of what your 420 day should look like<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where to Celebrate Do This 420<\/h4>\n

If you live in a major city in an adult-use cannabis state, chances are you\u2019re surrounded by almost too many 420 options \u2014 so we broke down the best event for you to attend in each city.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to do something extra special for 420 this year, why not take a little last-minute trip to D.C.\u2019s\u00a0National Cannabis Festival<\/a>, headlined by Ludacris and Action Bronson, or book a magical night at a\u00a0420-friendly treehouse<\/a>. If you\u2019ve got a passport, you could even head up to Vancouver\u2019s\u00a0contentious 420 celebration<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and don\u2019t forget to build the perfect\u00a0420 playlist<\/a>\u00a0for some tunes on the road and for the inevitable sesh when you arrive at your destination.<\/p>\n

What to Eat This 420<\/h4>\n

420 wouldn\u2019t be complete without some dank edibles, like these\u00a0cannabis-infused granola bars<\/a>\u00a0that are perfect to carry with you or split with friends. But why stop there? Infused\u00a0mac and cheese<\/a>, a\u00a0wake-and-bake brunch<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0THC-packed popsicle cubes<\/a>\u00a0could all be on the menu if you want to spend your 420 getting crafty in the kitchen. And if you\u2019d rather participate in a hype-garnering advertising ploy, Carl\u2019s Jr. has whipped up a\u00a0history-making CBD burger<\/a>\u00a0for your culinary pleasure if you live in the Denver area.<\/p>\n

How to Give Back to the Community This 420<\/h4>\n

At the end of the day, part of what makes being a cannabis enthusiast so great is that you\u2019re part of a community \u2014 and as such, you should be doing the work to champion social causes and uplift your fellow weed lovers. Follow the lead of activists and take the\u00a0day after 420 to focus on cannabis justice<\/a>, or donate your time and money\u00a0to these four worthy causes<\/a>. You also can read the poem of a man<\/a> incarcerated for running a state-legal dispensary and even eat some Ben & Jerry\u2019s to support\u00a0criminal record expungement<\/a>. After all, there\u2019s no better way to buck the stigma surrounding cannabis than to engage with the issues and fight for what you believe is right.<\/p>\n

Now get out there and make the most of your 420. Don\u2019t worry, you can thank us later.<\/p>\n
