America’s Top 21 Cannabis Events of 420 2023

Sleep, maybe dream of the ideal 420 party? Well, Leafy Nation, you never need to dream on that front – we’ve got you covered. As I say every year, the numbers just keep getting better and the states with recreational or medicinal cannabis (21 rec, 40 medicinal) continue to rise. That means more and more opportunities to gather around ganja and honor both the plant and the people who devote themselves to it.

This year is a “make new friends but keep the old” ethos, with a mix of long-standing get-togethers and new ideas to help you repeat a horny experience or step out of your cozy (pun intended) comfort zone. Happy 420!

Evergreen San Francisco

I’m a San Francisco kid with crunchy neighbors so I’m a bit biased here, but how much closer can you get to a farmers’ market where the farmers grow weed. Evergreen SF runs for about a week around April 20th and starts on April 12th. Pretty much every weed lover will find something to do, be it a documentary on music by the likes of Joan Baez, lots and lots of pharmacy deals, comedy, a cabaret and an arts gala. If none of these appeal to you, don’t worry, there are more! Most events are free.
