Have you ever wondered why 420 became the universal code for cannabis culture? The origins trace back to a group of high school friends in the 1970s, known as the "Waldos," who used 4:20 PM as their designated smoking time. Over the years, the term spread, eventually becoming a global celebration of cannabis on April 20th (4/20).
So, what does 420 have to do with getting high? Simply put, it’s a day dedicated to cannabis appreciation, advocacy, and, of course, lighting up with fellow enthusiasts. While 710 is also a cannabis-related number (spelling "OIL" upside-down, referring to concentrates), it’s not the same as 420. Instead, July 10th (7/10) is recognized as a day for celebrating dabs, oils, and other cannabis extracts. Another cannabis holiday gaining recognition is August 1st (8/1) as "Ate One" celebrating edibles and the art of infused treats.
Whether you’re celebrating solo or planning a sesh with friends, having everything ready beforehand ensures a smooth, stress-free experience. This guide covers all the essentials so you can fully enjoy 420 and elevate your holiday.
1. Stock Up on Your Favorite Smoking Essentials
At Cloud Cat, we make it easy with bulk pricing on Everyday Essentials, so you can grab what you need and save money while you’re at it. The last thing you want on 420 is to run out of supplies. Now is the perfect time to check your stash and restock what you need. Here’s a quick checklist to make sure you’re fully prepared:
✅ Herb or Concentrates – Make sure you have enough for the whole day. (Bonus tip: Store your stash properly to keep it fresh!)
✅ Bongs, Dab Rigs, or Pipes – Clean your favorite pieces ahead of time or grab a new one for the occasion.
✅ Rolling Papers & Cones – Pre-roll some joints to save time and hassle on the big day.
✅ Lighters & Torches – Stock up on extras because they always seem to go missing when you need them most.
✅ Grinder – A good grinder makes all the difference in prepping smooth, even bowls.
✅ Storage Jars – Keep your stash fresh and organized with airtight containers.
✅ Ashtrays & Cleaning Supplies – Don’t forget to keep your sesh area tidy!
