No big party in the park this year, but plenty to do—and enjoy—in our annual guide to the stoner holiday.

Spring is popping. Buds are blooming. The Easter bunny just hopped by. It must be time to celebrate every stoner’s favorite day, 420!

On April 20, feel free to buy some amazing weed and find yourself a nice spot and get stoned to bejesus. For me, it is just the most guilt-free day to do what I do every day!

Seriously, there are tons of deals out there. Some dispensaries are even doing “A Month of 420” specials. Hey, as long as good pot is in my bong with extra savings in my pocket, I am very pro this advertising ploy.

This year, it seems still too soon to gather in masse and toke out together—the annual festival at Hippie Hill is officially canceled—so I have several ideas to make your 420 special while still maintaining safety.

Have a scavenger adventure

A truly new and fun concept that is happening this Saturday, April 17 from noon to 4pm is High, San Francisco, an interactive and COVID-safe scavenger hunt. Early bird tickets are still available for $35 and General Admission will be $50 on Saturday. (Get 25% off when you use code HIGHPUFF at checkout.) Admission includes entry and a swag bag full of sponsor products, coupons, and fun 420 items.

“The event will explore San Francisco’s exciting local history of cannabis. Scavenger hunt clues will lead you to iconic locations and stops throughout the city that highlight significant cannabis moments that have taken place in San Francisco,” reads the press release.

Sponsors include Kiva, Plus, Chemistry, Urbana, Drew Martin, Moe Greens, Stone Road, Sonder, Omura, Vapor Room, Garden Society, Pop-Up Potcorn, Calexo, Mellows, Artet and more. I am stoned just thinking about them all!

The first three individuals to finish the scavenger hunt checkpoints will win a prize package worth $200 and the top 20 finalists will get a treat as well.

Collective High is producing the event. It is a modern social community dedicated to changing the stigma around cannabis. “We are a crew of revelers and revolutionaries who are changing the scope of cannabis conversation through collaborative measures,” from their press release. “We sit at the intersection of art, music, food, cannabis, fashion, and sustainability.”

They had me at Swag Bag. I am purchasing my Early Bird ticket now and will see you at the finish line!
