April 20 marks unofficial holiday for marijuana enthusiasts; prompts special dispensary deals, festivals
April 19, 2022
Even though it is unclear exactly why the number 420 (four-twenty) is associated with marijuana usage, it has served as code for that among pot smokers for quite a long time. Because of this, it is no wonder that marijuana enthusiasts have adopted April 20 (4/20) as an unofficial holiday.
As a result, many dispensaries across the valley will have special deals on THC products. This includes paraphernalia, THC cartridges, flower, edibles, and more.
Sunday Goods
Sunday Goods isn’t just celebrating April 20, as the dispensary has deals all throughout the month of April. However, the store is having exclusive deals for the unofficial holiday.
Any purchase of $42 or more will come with a free pre-roll.
Customers may also buy raffle tickets ($1 each) that will help the Last Prisoner Project, with the prize being a VERANO: Stunden Glass-Gravity Bong branded

If you choose to consume cannabis products, it’s important to remember a few Arizona state laws that regulate marijuana usage.
- It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of cannabis.
- Users can possess up to an ounce of cannabis flowers or five grams of concentrate.
- Because marijuana is still only legal in selected states, dispensaries will only accept cash—no cards or checks allowed.
