Happy 4/20. Say Hello To Thrillist Cannabis.

Dear Thrillist Reader,

Typically a day for passing joints to strangers and splitting a brownie in return, 4/20 will sport a more solitary fashion this year. Our Weed Day spirit matters more than ever right now, as we pause our collective anxiety to celebrate cannabis and the pursuit of its blissful buzz. And with legal cannabis stores deemed essential businesses in most cities under lockdown and low-contact delivery services flourishing, celebrate we shall. The biggest difference will be having to finish that joint on your own during that 4pm video call.

In many ways, these remote weed rhythms are empowering people to take their highs into their own hands in a new way. Some are experimenting with different CBD-to-THC ratios, getting more in touch with how different products affect their bodies. Some are microdosing cannabis and psychedelics to go even deeper. Some are trying cannabis for the first time, feeling more comfortable ordering a home delivery than going out to visit a dispensary. Between COVID-minded efforts to be gentler on lungs and a wealth of time to kill at home, everyone’s making homemade edibles on Instagram right now.

Celebrating cannabis is about celebrating all the ways it makes us feel. Whether it’s physical relief, a good mood, the joy of a good smoke circle, harmony between mind and body — however you do weed, today is for you. Happy 4/20.
