Cannabis lovers, it's time to celebrate as 420 (or 4:20 or 4/20) is here this weekend, and we've got a gift guide that will come in handy. Depending on where you are, you can snag one of the following deals to get your mind and vibes right.
As I say every time I put together one of these gatherings, I'm a proud cannabis user, but I tend to focus on function rather than feeling good. Nothing wrong with getting stoned, but I have too much to do, so I'm the kind of person who prefers small doses, but that doesn't mean I haven't indulged on a higher level. With sympathy.
In this guide, I've added some brands you may have seen in my coverage before along with others that are new to me. What I enjoy as cannabis use becomes more widely accepted is the range of innovations and products available on the market. When I was much younger, it was just flower and whatever cheap delivery method you could find.
These days, edibles, carts, e-platforms, infused beverages, and more are dominating the space, and the world is better for it. Hopefully you'll see a product below that will be your new favorite. We want to urge you that these products are made for people who are at least 21 years old and please use them responsibly.
Let's have a safe 420 weekend!
POSTSCRIPT I will gradually update this post with more deals as the day goes on. If you haven't seen your brand yet, give me some patience or give me a polite shout. Thanks.
