When: Friday, April 20 – Sunday, April 22 in San Bernardino

 

The crème de la crème of 420 events in Los Angeles takes place just outside the city in San Bernardino: the infamous High Times Cannabis Cup So-Cal! This is the place where the cannabis community comes to network and educate themselves on the smoking edge of technology. California’s newly minted recreational legalization of cannabis comes with a caveat: no free samples can be given. But that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying cannabis competitions, seminars, product showcases, and concerts… especially because smoking is allowed (this event is 21+, even if you are 18 - 20 with a medical recommendation card).

 

The High Times Cannabis Cup So-Cal is one of the world’s largest cannabis celebrations, and, although the lineup has yet to be officially announced, the concert series is usually stacked (last year’s performers included Wu-Tang Clan, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, 50 Cent, Nas, and A$AP Ferg, just to name a few). Make plans to spend your Los Angeles 420 2018 here and you will not regret it.
