Cannabis and 4/20 Around The World!
The time has arrived just as it has every year!
Birds are chirping, sun is shining, and people are getting PUMPED about cannabis more than ever…..!!
We’ve done the history of 420, cali teens, fans of the greatfuldead meeting at a spot after school at 4:20. This expanding to other greatfuldead fans when one went on tour with them and word spread.
Now it’s just a great day to acknowledge and celebrate this magical plant! The extraordinary part is how it spread, people just love an opportunity to get together and celebrate things they enjoy and what a way to do it. Parades, parties song dance and a sense of community which we all need especially in the world we live in today.
I love this time of year and think this is a great time for us to reflect on how impactful cannabis not just is for us, but how it can be for the world as well.
Let’s get into different ways others utilize cannabis around the world, and hopefully we’ll all be able to celebrate soon just like it’s Christmas!! :)
