What is 4/20?
If you know anything about cannabis culture, you should already be familiar with the 4/20 holiday. However, have you ever been curious about its origins? Depending on who you ask, there are many reasons behind 420 being tied to weed, but most of them are wildly inaccurate. Instead, the commonly accepted “true” story is a bit more straightforward but no less exciting.
Imagine it’s the 1970s in California. Cannabis is pretty well-known at this time, but it’s still far from being a mainstream product. It was during this period when a man named Dave Reddix and his friends at school created a smoking group called the “Waldos” (so named because they would hang out next to a wall). Every day, after school, the Waldos would hang out and smoke at 4:20 on the dot.
Over time, 420 started to refer to smoking, even when Reddix started working as a roadie for the band The Grateful Dead. Since the band was also into weed, they started using the term.
However, 4/20 as a holiday didn’t hit the cultural zeitgeist until December of 1990. That year, a group of Oakland-based Deadheads (Grateful Dead fans) put out a flyer telling people to smoke on 4/20 at 4:20 pm. Eventually, the flyer got into the hands of a journalist at High Times, and the date became cemented in history.
Where to Find the Best 4/20 Deals in MA
Since 420’s inception over 30 years ago, it has grown to become the biggest holiday for cannabis enthusiasts around the world. This fact is not lost on dispensaries like Uma Flowers, which leverage the day’s popularity to offer some of the best deals and discounts for users. If you’re looking to save big this year, the best option is to join our mailing list and get exclusive access to our 420-related specials.
Although Uma Flowers is definitely a great place to buy supplies for 420, we know that there are many awesome stores around the state. Typically, signing up for a rewards program is the best way to access deals for both the holiday and beyond.
Another way to score high-quality weed for 4/20 is to look for live events. In 2025, 4/20 is also the date for Easter, so some events may be held the day before, on Saturday the 19th. However, a live party at a dispensary or weed-friendly venue is one of the best ways to expand your palate and get some exclusive discounts.
Tips for Celebrating 4/20 Responsibly
While stocking up on weed is a crucial element of celebrating 420, we at Uma Flowers want to make sure you’re having as much fun as possible without harshing your vibe. So, here are some of our top recommendations for how to enjoy 4/20 responsibly:
- Don’t Smoke or Vape in Public – In Massachusetts, it’s illegal to use cannabis on public property. Although this law is not always strictly enforced (particularly on weed holidays), it’s still a good idea to abide by it. The last thing you want is to get in trouble for smoking or vaping where you’re not supposed to.
- Expand Your Cannabis Library – 4/20 is the perfect excuse to cut loose and try new things. Since you’ll be saving so much money on weed anyway, why not sample some new strains while you’re at it?
- Pace Yourself – If you’re familiar with cannabis strains, you know Sativa gives you an energy boost while Indica helps you relax. So, make sure you’re smoking, vaping, dabbing, or ingesting the right strain at the right time to keep the party going.
