Hey there, cannabis fans! That iconic day of 4/20 is just around the corner - you know, that counterculture "holiday" that has grown into a worldwide celebration of marijuana, personal freedom, and pure happiness.
It all started decades ago as an inside joke among a group of high school friends in California. Little did they know their casual code word would blossom into a globally recognized phenomenon uniting weed enthusiasts everywhere!
Whether you're a seasoned cannabis connoisseur or new to the world of weed, April 20th is your chance to fully embrace the plant's rich history, try new products, and connect with an amazing community. Here at Treehouse Cannabis, we're excited to be your source for all your elevated 4/20 needs throughout Rockland County and parts of Westchester.
So join us as we explore the origins of this iconic "holiday," share celebration tips, and highlight how our premium cannabis products can elevate your 4/20 experience. Get ready to indulge in the many joys this special plant has to offer!
Let's go back to the 1970s in San Rafael, California, where this whole 4/20 phenomenon began. There was a group of high school friends called "The Waldos" who coined the term "4:20" as their coded meeting time to consume cannabis after classes.
As The Waldos went their separate ways, that bit of lingo spread through expanding networks of cannabis enthusiasts until it transcended the Bay Area. At first, 4:20 pm was just a convenient time for after school, but April 20th eventually emerged as an actual date to celebrate marijuana culture.
Throughout the 70s and 80s, 4/20 remained an underground phenomenon exclusively within cannabis circles, passed around through flyers, songs, and word-of-mouth. It wasn't until the 1990s that this "holiday" started reaching the mainstream.
In 1991, a group of Canadian cannabis activists organized the first major public 4/20 events in Ontario, rallying supporters to gather proudly and consume marijuana openly. This sparked a movement of April 20th protests, festivals, and public cannabis celebrations across North America and eventually worldwide.
Nowadays, this once niche code has become unstoppable counterculture. Massive annual gatherings, rallies, and consumer events surrounding 4/20 bring together marijuana fans from all backgrounds. So whether you're a veteran enthusiast or newcomer, April 20th offers a unique chance to connect with a wildly influential legacy and vibrant community that fought to end the criminalization of this plant.
With 4/20 celebrating cannabis love, the possibilities for commemorating this "holiday" are endless. From connecting with your local weed community to solo indulgence, there's an activity for every vibe.
One classic way to spend 4/20? Host a cannabis-themed gathering! Invite friends over for snacks, weed-inspired entertainment, and sampling new strains. Relax with premium flower, watch movies or listen to music, and enjoy the communal atmosphere.
And of course, no proper 4/20 is complete without trying new cannabis products and strains. Use this annual occasion as an excuse to finally buy that vape cart or edible you've been eyeing, or roll up a joint of that intriguing new hybrid. Our knowledgeable staff can provide recommendations.
For creatives, cannabis can inspire mindblowing artistic expression. Enjoy an uplifting sativa strain, then freely pursue your outlet of choice like music, art or writing and see what flows.
Outdoor adventures like hiking, picnicking, or lounging in a scenic spot pair perfectly with 4/20. (Check our guide for smoke spots around Nyack!)
And for a laidback vibe? You can't go wrong with a classic stoner movie marathon at home! Curate a lineup, prepare munchies, and settle in for an entertaining evening.
The key is immersing yourself in cannabis activities that ignite pure bliss. Whether solo or with friends, just embrace this plant's freedom!
