April 20 didn’t start as a holiday. Back in 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, calling themselves the Waldos, agreed to meet at 4:20 p.m. after school, map in hand, hunting for a rumored abandoned cannabis crop. They never found the crop. But they held onto the code.
“420” spread quietly through their circle, then wider, catching a ride through Grateful Dead tour circles and the pages of High Times, until what began as an inside joke became a date marked on calendars across the country and around the world.
That’s the origin of 4/20, and it’s a story worth knowing because it says something true about cannabis culture: it has always been built on community, shared language, and the insistence that this plant belongs to the people.
Today, 4/20 is recognized internationally as a moment to come together, celebrate the culture, push for legalization, and (of course) find some good deals at your local dispensary!

Making the Most of 4/20 in Park Slope
A good 4/20 starts with a little planning. Know your tolerance, especially if you’re reaching for edibles, and give products time to work before consuming more.
Read labels for THC and CBD content, skip mixing with alcohol, arrange safe transportation ahead of time, and keep your consumption in private spaces or legally permitted areas per NYC cannabis law. The goal is a celebration worth remembering.
For the full Park Slope experience, try pairing a mellow hybrid with a walk through Prospect Park at golden hour, or bring premium pre-rolls to a rooftop gathering with friends. Low-dose gummies pair well with a Smorgasburg afternoon. Balanced products make a creative cooking night hit different. Whatever the plan, the Budega NYC team can point you toward the right product for the right moment.
