4/20 Celebrations Highlight Cannabis Culture and Industry Growth

As 4/20 approaches, events across the U.S. showcase both the cultural acceptance and commercial expansion of marijuana.

4/20, known as marijuana's high holiday, sees diverse celebrations from intimate gatherings to large festivals.
The origin of 4/20 dates back to 1971 with high school students in California, gaining widespread recognition in the 1990s.
Nearly half the states have legalized recreational marijuana, reflecting growing societal acceptance.
Events like Cannafest and 420 Sesh Fest highlight the community and creativity within the cannabis culture.
Despite legalization advances, challenges like competition for small growers and health concerns over products like Delta-8 persist.
