California has come a long way when it comes to cannabis. From being the first state to legalize it for medical use in 1996, to then legalizing it for recreational use in 2016, the plant has inspired not only an industry but an entire lifestyle. Whether you’re a non-toker that likes discounts and good vibes (and maybe even dabbles occasionally) or you’re a budding ganjaprenuer, 4/20 has become an opportunity for anyone to celebrate the elevated cannabis scene in L.A.
Here are some of our favorite events lighting up the city this April 20, 2023! 👇
