Missouri celebrates 420 with events statewide
Missouri’s 420 weekend calendar is packed with concerts, festivals, community gatherings, and brand activations stretching from Kansas City to St. Louis, Mid-Missouri, and southern Missouri.
For cannabis consumers and patients, the term ‘420’ has been a universal slang, an invitation, and a welcome sign all rolled into one. Over the years, 420 has become a celebration of freedom and independence for cannabis culture, encompassing the spirit of Independence Day with a cannabis twist.
