High Vibes Only: Celebrating 420 in 2025
April 20th—a date etched in every stoner’s calendar. What started as a secret code among a group of California high schoolers in the 1970s has grown into a global celebration of cannabis culture. Welcome to 420 in 2025, where the vibes are high, the flower is loud, and the community is stronger than ever.
A Little 420 History
Let’s spark one and rewind . The term “420” traces back to a group of friends known as The Waldos in San Rafael, CA. They used it as a meeting time—4:20 p.m.—to search for an abandoned cannabis crop. Decades later, it’s become the unofficial International Cannabis Holiday.
How 420 is Going Down in 2025
This year, 420 falls on a Sunday—so expect a whole weekend of elevated events. From city-wide smoke-outs to curated consumptionounges and cannabis competitions, it’s a full-blown high holiday. Whether you’re heading to Kushstock or just lighting up with your crew at the beach—420 2025 is built for community, connection, and celebration.
Events on 420 Weekend
- Kushstock Festival – April 19th @ The Beehive Hive, LA

- Local Pop Ups & Dispensary Specials
Expect crazy deals, limited edition drops, and free goodies. Support your favorite local shops!
420 Essentials
Planning your 420 sesh? Here’s your ultimate checklist:
- Fully charged vape (rolling papers or a cleaned bong, lets be honest)
- Your favorite strains (classic og kush or a nice exotic candy like zkittles)
- Edibles and concentrates (sour candies or some tasty rosin for a night cap dab)
- Chill playlist and speakers (nothing like good music to set the vibes for a sesh)
- Munchies (an essential after a nice smoke with the group)
- Good company (always a good time smoking with your bestfriends)
What 420 Really Means
Sure, 420 is about the sesh. But it’s also about how far we’ve come. Cannabis is more accepted than ever—medically, recreationally, and culturally. It’s a moment to celebrate legalization victories, advocate for reform, and uplift those still affected by outdated policies.
Final Puff
Whether you’re a daily toker, weekend warrior, or just 420-curious, this is your moment. Light one, laugh hard, listen to your favorite music, and give thanks to the plant that brings us together.
Stay lifted. Stay safe. Happy 420.
