Fresh Cannabis Content You Can Binge or Livestream For 420
Whether you live in a state where marijuana use is legal or illegal, you may be aware that today is a “holiday” in the cannabis community. It is April 20 – aka 420 or 4/20 – and the date is recognized as a symbol for weed-related activities and gatherings around the world.
According to Time magazine, the roots of 420 are connected to a set of high school kids from California who smoked marijuana together in the ‘70s. They met up at a certain spot on campus at 4:20 in the afternoon to avoid getting caught and used the term “420” as a code. 420 was born.
Since live events are canceled, celebrities and companies are finding new ways to tap into 420 vibes. If you’re looking for content to stream this year, we’re listing TV series, live-streaming events, and music releases (from today or the past) that have to do with weed.
And yes, you can count on Snoop Dogg to be present.
‘Cooked with Cannabis’
Released on Netflix on 4/20, this cooking series elevates the edibles game by having three chefs go toe-to-toe in a marijuana-infused competition with three-course meals.
Hosted by Kelis and featuring celebrity taste-testers/judges, the show includes THC-laced food, giggles, and a cash prize. Like the Netflix description says, it’s like Chopped meets Bong Appétit.
