While most weed smokers celebrate 4/20 the same way they celebrate 4/19 and 4/21 (by smoking weed), others use the date as a reason to hang out with like-minded potheads, blaze up, and finally have the perfect occasion to wear that pair of marijuana leaf socks from the office Secret Santa.
Unlike states like Colorado and California, where marijuana is legal recreationally, Florida residents must be prescribed a medical marijuana card from a licensed doctor and fill their prescription at one of the dispensaries, or "medical marijuana treatment centers," licensed by the state.
Still, for those with medical marijuana cards, another benefit of 4/20 is that it's the de facto Black Friday of weed, making it one of the most opportune times of the year to procure medical marijuana products and goods for a fraction of the price.
Ahead of the high holy day, New Times rounded up a few stellar deals from some of Florida's most popular medical marijuana dispensaries. You'll find them listed below in alphabetical order by dispensary name:
Cannabist
As part of its 4/20 deals, Cannabist is selling $40 half-ounces, $60 ounces (with the exception of certain strains), and other discounted goods like $5 pre-rolls and $15 ground flower with purchases of at least $125. If you spend at least $125 in-store, you'll have a chance to spin a wheel for Cannabist swag.
Cookies
The brainchild of California rapper Gilbert Milam, AKA Berner, AKA the dude behind the famed Girl Scout Cookies strain, Cookies opened its first Florida dispensary in Miami across from Tropical Park. The company, which boasts "world-class budtenders," has since added a second location in North Miami.To celebrate the holiday, Cookies is offering an eighth-ounce of flower or a half-gram disposable vape cartridge free with any $100 purchase; two free eighths or half-gram disposable vapes with any $175 purchase; and a free half-ounce of flower or four half-gram disposable vapes with any $250 purchase.
