Farmer Jane’s Guide to 420

Our favourite day of the year is just around the corner!

For any cannabis user, casual or chronic, the unofficial holiday is sure to bring joy all around. Mostly because everyone is zooted out of their minds… But for many stoners, 420 is like a second birthday. With the industry growing and expanding, there’s more and more ways one can choose to celebrate. Edibles, vapes, new strains – you name it, we got it. So to honour our favourite holiday, we compiled some ideas for those of you that want to do something other than the classic backyard blunt sesh. Here is our suggestions of what to do this 420!

Make (and eat!) edibles

If you’re a regular smoker, rolling a joint or packing a bowl is pretty mundane. For some, this is already part of their daily routine. However, 420 is different, a day of celebration! You’re going to want to consume cannabis every way possible, and edibles can be one of the most exciting ways. With homemade edibles it can be a roll of the dice how strong they actually turn out, so you’ll need to calculate how much THC you’re cooking with. Here we have a couple helpful recipes to follow along.

Gather your best buddies

We know you love your non-smoking friends, and so do we, but lets be real: this holiday is probably not their cup of tea. Bring together your closest friends that love the bud as much as you do (or almost as much as you do). If you don’t have any cannabis-loving friends, 420 is the perfect day to make some new ones. In almost every city across the country, 420 events are held every year. If none of this sounds appealing, celebrating alone with your favourite movie is always a solid choice.

Pick a dope place to eat

What is 420 without the munchies? For most of us, smoking and eating go hand in hand – especially when you’re consuming an enormous amount of cannabis. (After all, it is 420). My advice? You and your buds might want to decide on a place before you guys get too incredibly high. People sometimes tend to become indecisive when they’re too stoned. And having five indecisive stoners in one room that have no clue where to eat is basically like flipping through Netflix with no plan in sight.

Attend an Event

While spending 420 with your nearest and dearest is great, there’s just something extra special about spending the day with a large group of like-minded people. Surrounding yourself with people who have similar interests and ideologies is not only affirming, but can also be totally empowering!
