Preparations for First Recreational 4/20 in Maryland
As Maryland approaches its first 4/20 celebration since the legalization of recreational cannabis in July 2023, dispensaries and cannabis businesses across the state are gearing up for what is expected to be a historic day for sales and events.
The cannabis industry in Maryland has flourished since legalization, with sales exceeding $90 million per month in 2024. April 20 (4/20), a day recognized globally as a celebration of cannabis culture, is anticipated to bring a major surge in foot traffic and online orders for dispensaries across the state.
Dispensaries and brands are preparing by:
Stocking up on popular products like edibles, flower, concentrates, and pre-rolls to meet the high demand.
Launching exclusive promotions and discounts to attract both new and returning customers.
Hosting in-store events, including giveaways, educational sessions, and live entertainment.
Some of Maryland’s largest dispensaries and cannabis brands have already announced plans to roll out special edition products, bundle deals, and VIP discounts for customers leading up to 4/20. Local cannabis lounges and consumption-friendly venues are also preparing for exclusive 4/20 parties featuring live music, guest speakers, and themed activities.
Law enforcement and regulatory bodies have also issued guidelines to ensure the celebration remains safe and compliant. This includes public consumption laws, which prohibit smoking in public spaces, and warnings against driving under the influence.
Given that this is Maryland’s first 4/20 under legal recreational cannabis, the industry is viewing it as a key test for future cannabis-related events and economic impact in the state.
