Every April 20th, stoners from around the world get together to celebrate the plant we all know and love: Mary Jane. 420 is a holiday that comes around once a year so, it's only right to celebrate with a fat re-up and a smoke sesh that would make Cheech & Chong proud. However, there are tons of other fun stoner activities that you can partake in between bong rips. In this blog, we are sharing all of our expert tips on how to celebrate this April 20th!

We all know that 420 is an international holiday for smoking marijuana but, we don’t all know how it started. Back in the ’70s, weed was becoming an extremely popular after-school activity. It actually became such an honored after-school tradition for five high schoolers in San Rafael, California, that they started to meet up every day at precisely 4:20. This was the birth of the term and the start of a movement from stoner to stoner as an underground code for getting baked.

If this is your first 420 or even if you are a seasoned cannabis connoisseur, figuring out how to celebrate 420 right can be a challenge. This guide will help you prepare so you can have the best 420 ever!

You and your smoking buddies will be so happy every time you take a clean rip!

Watching a movie high af is an honored tradition in the stoner community and it's only right to watch one of the classics to celebrate this holiday.
