What is 4/20?

While the 420-origin story is thanks to a group of California high-school stoners who had a little help from the Grateful Dead and its biggest Deadheads, today it’s become a cultural phenomenon symbolizing cannabis culture. Every April 20, weed lovers worldwide unite over their love of all things cannabis, celebrating the day and marking it with a 4:20 p.m. toke.

4 Ways to Celebrate 420 in South Hero

How you celebrate 4/20 is a matter of preference. Some weed enthusiasts like the huge festival vibe, while others want a more chill, relaxed feel to their 420 festivities. Keeping with the warm island vibe of South Hero, Lake Effect offers four 420 celebration ideas for smaller gatherings.

1. Host a 4/20 Themed Party

• Flower Power: The 60s were all about “flower power” with a wonderful, easy, laid-back vibe. Guests can bring their favorite weed and come decked out in their best tie-dye ensemble.
• Jamaican Me Crazy: Encourage your party guests to dress in red, yellow, green, and black, serve the infamous Jamaican Me Crazy cocktail with cannabis-infused rum for an enhanced twist, and keep the vibe going with some classic Bob Marley and other great reggae beats.

2. Have a Bake and Cake Party

Choose a few easy edible recipes for your guests to follow and supply the ingredients for a fun baking challenge. Then everyone can sit back and enjoy the delicious cannabis-infused treats as they take in the joyous 420 vibe. Chocolate Canna-Brownies are always an easy favorite, or find pre-made edibles for your guests at Lake Effect Vermont.

For the perfect 4/20 trio, offer guests a taste of Vermont’s excellent craft beer, stellar small-batch buds, and a smokin’ backyard BBQ. Vermont is home to both award-winning craft brewers and local cannabis growers, including Sunset Lake Cannabis, Bushy Beard, and Mad River Terpenes.
