5 Ways to Celebrate 4/20 in Detroit

Are you excited to start your 4/20 holiday in Detroit? Here are some ideas for making the most of your day.

1. Visit your favorite Detroit dispensary for deals and fun

Make sure you’re well stocked with enough marijuana to last you the entire day. Wake and bake with infused edibles, spend the afternoon rendezvous toking on a pre-roll of your favorite strain, and unwind in the evening with pulls from your handy vape.

If you want your bud budget to last the entire day, save your shopping until 4/20, when most dispensaries will be offering a stash of deals, discounts, and dank events.

The slow burn deals for the H.O.D. x 4/20 event at House of Dank last all day with doorbusters, exclusive deals, and live DJ performances. Get a sneak peek at the latest cannabis product releases coming to Dreams Canna during their 4/20 Drop Party from 4pm to midnight. Every 4/20 deal you take advantage of at Pleasantrees Hamtramck

For Muha Meds fans, stop by Oz Detroit from 11:30am-1:30pm for BOGO deals on pre-rolls and free merch. Check out dispensaries near you to see what other Vendor Days are happening during the holiday.
