There are several cannabis holidays to celebrate, some of which are celebrated worldwide, while others are for niche connoisseurs. There are lots of ways to commemorate the cannabis culture, and here’s how you can do just that by partaking in these holidays!
420 Day
The number 420 is globally recognized as one of the most notable symbols within the cannabis community. According to a report by High Times Magazine, it all started in the early 1970s, as five high school students known as ”Waldos” started using the term 420, which later spread within the community, becoming an iconic symbol of cannabis consumption.
420 Day, also known as National Weed Day, is obviously celebrated on April 20th. During this time, cannabis consumers can attend 420 festivities, events, and public gatherings, where they can enjoy the company of other cannabis lovers. 420 is also known as the best time to stock up on your favorite cannabis goods and even try something new, as a lot of dispensaries offer unique drops and discounts. The good thing about this weed holiday is that you can celebrate it however you want, by going out or by staying in, and honoring the cannabis culture by getting high exactly at 4:20 PM on April 20th!
710 Day
This is the perfect holiday for those who enjoy cannabis concentrates and oils, which are some of the most potent and flavorful cannabis products on the market. 710 holiday is considered a bit of a niche holiday, but it highlights how far the cannabis industry has come with its products and innovations.
710 holiday, which is known by many names, including Dab Day or Oil Day, is celebrated on July 10th across the US. The name and date of the holiday were chosen because when the number 710 is typed on a calculator and flipped upside down, it spells out oil. The best way to celebrate this holiday is to attend 710 events held by local cannabis dispensaries and dabble in the world of cannabis extracts.
Cannabis Legalization Day
Legalization of cannabis and cannabis-derived products in the U.S. has come a long way, with over 40 states legalizing the use of medical cannabis and over 20 states legalizing recreational cannabis. But one of the most important steps for cannabis culture happened on November 6th, 2012, when Colorado and Washington legalized the recreational use of cannabis for adults over the age of 21. This was a big milestone within the cannabis movement, as many states followed up with the legalization of recreational cannabis after November 6th.
Green Wednesday Holiday
Green Wednesday is celebrated on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It’s a perfect opportunity for cannabis connoisseurs to grab their favorite goodies and enjoy discounts, special drops, and time-limited offers. This holiday is considered like Black Friday or Cyber Monday for the cannabis community, and it goes hand in hand with Thanksgiving, or how some people call it Danksgiving. People can get all their goodies before the big holiday!
Danksgiving
This is an unofficial holiday for cannabis lovers. It’s held during or after the traditional American holiday Thanksgiving, but with a cannabis twist! Have a cozy get-together with your loved ones and celebrate the holiday with your favorite cannabis products. You can also infuse traditional Thanksgiving meals and desserts with cannabutter or cannabis oil for edibles to your liking.
Cannabis holidays are more than just an excuse to party with fellow cannabis enthusiasts, it’s also about supporting local cannabis businesses, celebrating the progress of the cannabis industry, and advocating for widespread legalization. Check out your local dispensaries and stay in the loop about cannabis events and available products.
