According to weed lore, a group of students who attended San Rafael High School coined the term “420” during the 1970s.
The phrase “420” comes from “420 Louis”. This was a code for the group, who called themselves ‘The Waldo’s’, to meet by the school’s statue of Louis Pasteur. Since then, the number and the date have become synonymous with cannabis.
The Ontario cannabis industry is thriving more than ever. Ontario is the best place for cannabis events, including your 4-20 celebration.
You’re guaranteed to have a high time in Ontario on April 20th with the following cannabis activities. Here are some of the best cannabis-oriented things to do in Ontario.
Ontario Cannabis Laws
Canada’s weed laws resemble their cigarette and vape laws. As such, if you’re over the age of 19, you may use cannabis in Ontario.
As a rule of thumb, you’re allowed to smoke anywhere cigarettes are allowed. That means you’re allowed to walk down the sidewalk smoking a spliff.
Along with knowing general Ontario travel information, it’s also important to know how much weed you’re able to legally carry. In Ontario, you may have up to one ounce on you in public.
Now, let’s move on to the fun part.
