Get Active:
While lounging around and watching movies is a time-honored tradition on 4/20, there are many ways to enjoy our most beloved green holiday (no offense, Earth Day).
Go Green
Immerse yourself in nature with a casual hike, a frolick through the park or a frisbee/hacky sack hybrid game you invented after the first blunt rotation. Good times in the sunshine is our only goal here.
Arts, Crafts, Laughs
Bust out the paints, markers, or clay and let your creativity run wild with a cannabis-infused art session. If you haven’t revisited finger painting in adulthood, there’s no time like the present.
Ganja and Grooves
Light up the dance floor with your wildest moves to songs from 4/20 vets like Snoop Dogg and Wiz Kalifa. If you or a friend is figuratively (or physically) glued to the couch, opt for a seated silent disco with Pink Floyd blasting through your best headphones.
However you choose to spend 4/20, be sure to breathe deep and inhale these dank and dear memories with your best buds.
