A 420 gift guide for California’s cannabis lovers and newcomers

420 may be a global celebration today, but it’s important to remember the holiday’s deep California roots.

The tradition originally originated in the 1970s when a group of students at San Rafael High School met to smoke at 4:20 p.m. The code was later popularized by the Grateful Dead and well, the rest is history.

To celebrate California’s biggest 420 yet, we’ve curated a comprehensive collection of local offerings, including premium flowers, delicious gummies and next-generation infused beverages.
