April signals 420 is near . What is 420 ? And why is it on April 20 ? In short , 420 is a holiday celebrating marijuana . There are a few possible explanations for why marijuana enthusiasts celebrate this day , and the actual origin remains a bit of a mystery . It ’ s been highly reported that the holiday came out of a ritual started in the 1970s by a group of California high school students who met to smoke marijuana every day at 4:20 p . m . The students ’ ritual code for smoking marijuana became 420 . Eventually , 420 became 4 / 20 for calendar purposes , and the day of celebration was born . A group of Californians published documents giving this theory legitimacy , but it ’ s unclear if their claims are valid . Regardless , it ’ s a great excuse to — Party On !

MAC # 1 3.5g flower by Vibe Cannabis
Miracle Alien Cookies ( or MAC , for short ) is a quintessential “ old school ” strain that comprises three different strains — Alien Cookies , Starfighter , and Columbian Gold . The result is a stunning light green flower with orange pistils and a thick blanket of golden-hued trichomes . There is a lemon diesel piquancy displayed in both scent
and flavor . The sharp lemon notes are noticed on the inhale , while a gassy finish takes over on the exhale . While MAC is more often considered an evenly-balanced hybrid strain , the effects were more in line with an Indica-dominant strain . The mind is sent to a state of cloudy bliss while the body enters a state of ease , perfect for an end-of-day unwind or any time that relaxation is needed . Retail about $ 40 per 1 / 8 oz .
Dragonfruit 3.5g flower by Gold Rush
While new to the Missouri market , Gold Rush has garnered a loyal following in the Oklahoma market for its highquality flower and extracts . As part of its introduction to the state , one of the cultivars offered is Dragonfruit , an energizing cross of Snow Lotus and Silver Haze . The buds are a rich , dark purple hue with green accents and long orange pistils . The flavor profile is matched in both scent and taste , an array of earthy , spicy , lemony-pine notes . The cerebral effects are very similar to Silver Haze — an uplifting energy boost leading to a state of euphoric happiness . Despite the elevated rush happening in the mind , the body remains neutral . Make sure to have a beverage on hand to combat dry mouth ! If you ’ re looking for a new option for those afternoon boosts , make sure to give Dragonfruit a try . Price ( about ) $ 30 .
Blueberry Milk 1:1 THC / CBD flower by Robust
I rarely come across a CBD-heavy strain , especially one as deliciously fruity and relaxing as Robust ’ s Blueberry Milk , a cross between DJ Short ’ s Blueberry and Strawberry Milk . The flower has a frosty , green base with purple-toned sugar leaves and burnt orange pistils . The scent has a uniquely floral , lemon , and earthy pine palate . The flavor , however , is a surprising contrast , featuring sweet berry notes on the inhale and a creamy , earthy vanilla finish on the exhale . With an equal balance of THC and CBD , the effects are less psychedelic and more soothing . The mind is left feeling uplifted and happy while the body is relaxed . Blueberry Milk would be an excellent choice for daytime use ,
