How to Celebrate 4/20 Like a Pro: Tips & Tricks - Weeday

April 20th isn’t just another day—it’s the unofficial holiday for cannabis lovers everywhere. Whether you're a long-time enthusiast or just getting into the culture, Happy 4/20 is more than just lighting up. It’s about community, creativity, and kicking back in your own way.

We already broke down the meaning of 420—so today, we're focused on how to make the most of the celebration. From prepping your gear to choosing the right vibe, we’ve got everything you need to have the smoothest, chillest 4/20 experience possible.

Start Your Day Right: The 4/20 Mindset

The key to a successful 4/20 celebration starts with intention. First, hydrate and grab a solid breakfast—trust us, you’ll thank yourself later. Just like you’d prep for a night out, make sure you are preparing your body for the day! It’s easy to get excited. But preparation is key! Think of 4/20 like a mini vacation: set your plans, pick your vibe.

Are you flying solo with your favorite pipe and a lo-fi playlist? Hosting a mellow hang with a few friends and your go-to bong? Or maybe you're heading to one of the many 4/20 events happening around town? No matter what your day looks like, make sure your smoking gear is dialed in.

Here’s our essentials checklist:

• Favorite strains
• A clean pipe, bong, bubbler or one-hitter
• Snacks and drinks (especially water!)
• A cozy setup—blankets, music, lighting

Pacing is Everything: Enjoying the High Without Overdoing It

It’s a holiday, not a race. The best 4/20 pros know it’s all about the vibe—and the vibe lasts longer when you pace yourself.

Start small with a single hit from your pipe, then build up as the day flows. Microdosing in the morning helps you enjoy the whole day without burning out early. Try switching up your consumption method throughout—go from a bong hit to an edible, then ease into a vape or another session with your favorite piece. The point is… pace yourself!

Some 4/20 pacing tips:

• Alternate between smoking and chilling. You don’t have to be smoking all day to celebrate.
• Take walks to reset between sessions and enjoy your high more. Try doing a fun activity, too.
• Listen to your body—need a break? Sip some water, grab a bite, or take a power nap.

New to smoking? Here’s a refresher on how to smoke a pipe like a pro and how to use a bong properly.

Make the Most of the Holiday: Activities for an Epic 4/20

Your 4/20 experience can be as chill or social as you want—this is a day to celebrate cannabis your way.

Solo sessions?

You don’t need to host an all-day rager to have a good time on 4/20. Queue up a movie marathon, create a playlist, or head out on a nature walk with your pipe in your pocket.

Hanging with a crew?

Invite your favorite circle, break out the games, bring different strains to try, and make it a mini-tasting party. Deep convos and shared laughs guaranteed.

Craving a crowd?

Check out local 4/20 events or take advantage of dispensary deals. From vendor pop-ups to music festivals, there’s always something happening. Just make sure you’ve got a clean bong and enough rolling papers to go around.

Get creative!

Does smoking get your creativity flowing? Spark up and make art, write, record music, or shoot a goofy video with a friend. You’d be surprised what a little smoke can inspire.
