Celebrate 4/20 in Sonoma County

The North Bay Area is more than just home to some of the very best cannabis on Earth. It’s also the birthplace of 420.
According to the most widely accepted origin story, 4:20 p.m. was the time a group of teens at San Rafael High School in Marin County used to meet up to get high. The group, which called themselves the “Waldos,” chose this time because it was in that magical space of freedom between school letting out and their parents coming home from work.
Soon, 420 became their code for cannabis, and they’d use the term anytime they wanted to meet up and blaze. It caught on not just with their friends, but with other pot enthusiasts in the area. Now 420 is a cultural phenomenon recognized and celebrated by people all over the world.
It is fitting, then, that the North Bay would have some solid options for anyone looking to celebrate cannabis on 4/20. Whether you want to eat, drink, or be “Mary,” Sonoma County has something for everyone.
