420 originated long before the mass legalization that we see sweeping the country today. Back in the 1970s a small group of high school buddies in San Rafael, CA would meet by a wall for their daily ritual. The group was dubbed the Waldos and another part of the advent of the term (420) was their treasure hunt for a lost cannabis grow said to be set up by a Coast Guardsman who got called up. “420” became their code name for Marijuana.
The term 420 spread working it’s way across many Bay Area Schools and Universities, ultimately becoming the prevalent keyword for dope on the Grateful Dead’s touring scene. While 420 remained much an underground phenomenon until up until recently, April 20th has definitely been established as the premiere cannabis holiday with large events and meet ups throughout the United States celebrating the evolution of America’s history with cannabis and it’s spreading legalization and acceptance.
As 420 has gone commercial retailers have begun having deals and sales for cannabis related goods. Tyler Browne owner of To the Cloud Vapor Store says 420 has become more popular and bigger than Black Friday & Cyber Monday. “We have begun offering more 420 vaporizer sales and deals to accommodate the cannabis holiday rush” Said Browne.
It’s not just dispensaries or delivery services who sell the actual cannabis. Many related goods offer deals during 420 - to everything from grow lights to electric dab rigs such as the uber popular Puffco Peak Pro.
It is funny says Browne to think about how the original 420 meet ups were very hush hush and the stigma surrounding cannabis was very prevalent. Whereas now it has become a celebration and even commercial holiday that brings us more customers than any other time of the year.
To celebrate alongside the community, To the Cloud Vapor Store offers some of the largest discounts of the year on their dry herb and concentrate vaporizers as well as community giveaways and sponsoring local meet ups.
“We definitely feel alot more apart of 420 than we do say Christmas or any other holiday where we run huge vaporizer sales. 420 is more directly related to our market and who we are as a company” stated Browne.
