April 20th is an unofficial cannabis-centric holiday celebrated by stoners, smokers, and vapers alike. Initially starting in the 1970s, the concept of “420” was originated by a group of San Rafael high schoolers nicknamed “the Waldos” who would meet every day at 4:20 p.m. to — you guessed it — smoke pot.
Today, in honor of these blazed trailblazers, there is no time more revered by stoners than exactly 4:20 on 4/20. Whether you’re new to cannabis or an experienced user looking to mix things up, read on to learn how to celebrate 4/20 and make the most of your holiday high.
Get Social With a Weed-Themed Party
One of cannabis’s most popular properties is its social enhancement. A strong puff of THC can reduce social anxieties, make you feel more comfortable, and help you open up. Because of this, many people absolutely love smoking pot or eating edibles at parties. It can be fun to see the different types of highs that develop among users at once, leading to wacky and memorable interactions.
Hosting a weed-themed party is a great way to celebrate your 420 holiday, so long as you invite fun people to smoke with. To make the most of the big day, stock up on cannabis products, put on some Snoop Dogg music, light some incense, and see where the party and the highs take you.
Stock Up on Different Cannabis Options
The world of cannabis has changed monstrously since the 1970s. Not only do marijuana products now have much higher potencies, but more legal options are available to use than ever before.
This 4/20 is a great time to stock up on different cannabis options, particularly consumption methods you haven’t tried before. Stop at your local smoke shop and dispensary, such as Boston’s Harbor House Collective, and check out what they have in store.
Some of the most popular ways to consume THC include:
- Bongs
- Bowls/pipes
- Joints
- Blunts
- Pre-rolled joints
- Vapes
- Concentrates
- Oil drops/tinctures
- Topicals
- Gummy edibles
- Cannabutter
- Other food-based edibles, such as chocolate bars and baked goods
Watch a Movie or Listen to Music
Cannabis enhances how you perceive the world, which can heighten your enjoyment of art and media. So, this 420 holiday, consider popping back a couple of edibles and tuning into a movie, TV show, or playlist.
Pot may completely change how you interpret your favorite movies or shows, helping you notice details and action sequences you’d never paid attention to before. Additionally, creating a music playlist before smoking can help you plan out your high for maximized entertainment and vibes.
Visit Harbor House Collective
This April 20th, don’t just settle for passable weed. If “the Waldos” were teenagers today, they’d likely be amazed by the many options and high THC percentages found in cannabis dispensaries. If you live in Massachusetts, visit the Harbor House Collective to stock up on pot, vapes, edibles, and accessories to ensure you’re fully stocked up for your 420 celebrations.
