April 20, commonly known as 4/20, has come a long way from secret smoke sessions in backyards and basements. What started as underground stoner culture has transformed into a nationwide moment to celebrate the cannabis plant, its progress, and the power of community.
At Major Bloom, we’re honoring the roots of 4/20 with a collection of nostalgic products, exclusive deals, and a nod to the playful side of cannabis culture — while still recognizing the plant’s deeper purpose.
The Origins of 4/20
The term “4/20” originated with a group of high school students in San Rafael, California, who met at 4:20 p.m. to search for a rumored cannabis crop. Their ritual spread through cannabis culture, eventually going mainstream thanks to bands like the Grateful Dead and coverage by High Times magazine.
Today, 4/20 is celebrated nationwide, from public events like Mile High 420 Festival to private gatherings like your friend’s living room sesh. What hasn’t changed is the joy and ritual around getting high, especially for first-time users.
For the First-Timers (And Those Who Remember)
We all remember that first high—laughing uncontrollably, raiding the snack cabinet, maybe getting paranoid when your friend’s mom walked in. 4/20 captures that energy for new users exploring cannabis legally and for OGs who remember what it meant to light up before legalization.
Now, retailers like Major Bloom offer more than just a vibe: We provide verified quality, education, and community. And our 4/20 lineup is built to deliver the full experience.
Major Bloom’s 4/20 Product Highlights
We’re spotlighting classic cannabis culture with a few new-school twists.
Old School Hash Balls
Think sticky, resin-packed, and hand-rolled. Inspired by traditional temple balls from the Himalayas, these hash balls are rare on today’s menus but a beloved classic among seasoned smokers. Expect a smooth, full-body effect and potent aroma.
Cross Joints
Made famous by the movie Pineapple Express, cross joints are a novelty smoke that’s all about craft and fun. Major Bloom is the only producer in the state, and we introduced them during Easter 2024. This year, Easter and 4/20 align again, so we’re bringing them back — bigger and better.
The Playful Side — And the Serious One
The Playful Side — And the Serious OneWhile 4/20 is fun, we also recognize the serious role cannabis plays in health and justice.
Medical cannabis has helped patients with cancer, PTSD, and chronic pain. Professional athletes now use it for post-workout recovery, and therapists increasingly recognize its role in trauma care.
But cannabis is also a tool of repair. The War on Drugs disproportionately harmed Black and Brown communities, leading to mass incarceration and generational harm. Iconic figures like Snoop Dogg represent both sides of this story—cultural cool and political consequence.
We believe in keeping the power of the plant with the people, not Big Pharma. That means celebrating cannabis while advocating for community-driven change.
