420 Day: Closest marijuana dispensaries, deals, sales for weed holiday – IndyStar

While Indianapolis was recently ranked one of the worst cities for marijuana use in the U.S., Hoosier stoners have a few other options for celebrating 4/20.

Here’s what to know.

When is 420?

420 Day is celebrated on April 20 (4/20) every year by cannabis enthusiasts and advocates.

While the exact origin of 420 becoming the codename for smoking marijuana, it has been used since the 1970s but became popularized by the Grateful Dead in the 1990s.

“Once an unconventional day, the day has become the rallying cry of those who seek to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses,” according to National Day Calendar.
