This 4/20 Why Don’t You…

• Host a Cannabis-Infused Potluck

  What better way to celebrate 4/20 than by sharing a delicious meal with friends? Host a cannabis-infused potluck and ask each guest to bring a dish that incorporates cannabis in some way. From weed brownies to cannabis-infused cocktails, the possibilities are endless. Just make sure to label each dish with the appropriate dosage so everyone knows what they're getting into.

• Have a Movie Marathon

  If you're in the mood for a chill 4/20 celebration, why not have a movie marathon? Pick out a few of your favorite stoner movies (think Pineapple Express, Half Baked, and Dazed and Confused) and settle in for a cozy day on the couch. Make sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand!

• Host a Stoner White Elephant Gift Exchange

  If you're looking for a fun way to celebrate 4/20 with your friends, consider hosting a stoner white elephant gift exchange. Ask each guest to bring a cannabis-related gift (like a new strain of flower, a fancy grinder, or some delicious edibles) and wrap them up. During the exchange, each guest will have the chance to choose a gift and unwrap it. They can then either keep the gift or steal someone else's gift. This activity is sure to get everyone in the 4/20 spirit, and you might just walk away with a new favorite strain or smoking accessory. You can check out our 4/20 Gift Guide for some ideas on amazing gifts!
  

• Make Your Own Edibles

  If you're feeling ambitious, why not make your own cannabis-infused edibles? There are plenty of recipes available online, from classic brownies to savory dishes like cannabis-infused mac and cheese. Not only is it a fun activity, but you'll also have some delicious treats to enjoy throughout the day.

• Take a Nature Walk

  If you live in an area with beautiful outdoor spaces, consider taking a nature walk to enjoy the beauty of the natural world while you celebrate 4/20. Bring along a joint or your favorite vape pen to enhance the experience.

• Create a DIY Stoner Kit

  Gather some of your favorite cannabis accessories and create a DIY stoner kit. Include things like rolling papers, a grinder, a lighter, and maybe even some Chill Bongs products. Not only is this a fun activity, but you'll also have a personalized kit that you can use for future smoke sessions. You can put it on one of our favorite smell-proof containers!

No matter how you choose to celebrate, we hope these events inspire you to have an amazing 4/20. Remember to consume responsibly and have fun!
