7 Steps to Prep for 4/20 in San Francisco

Step 1:



Roll your smoke.



Roll enough joints and blunts to be consumed with friends and to be passed around with fellow buds. If rolled cannabis isn’t up your alley, feel free to bring your favorite pipe, bubbler, vape, or bong and enjoy for this one glorious day! This is an important day of the year to celebrate freedom, and for many, bigger than birthdays and Christmas. If you think that a few joints will suffice you are mistaken. Hippie Hill has a way of slowing time and making sure everyone’s tolerance is maxed out. Be prepared to smoke more than you have ever smoked before while being surrounded people doing exactly the same thing! And the best part is the police are on the outskirts to make sure everything stays chill and no drunks get in the way of our high times.



Step 2:

Assemble a crew.



The right crew can make or break any occasion. 4/20 is no different. Everyone that congregates at Golden State Park is out to celebrate in style and smoke as much cannabis as possible in the sun, the way it should be! If it is your first time, take it all in and see how open everyone is and how happy they are to share their weed with you! If you are a veteran, you know what to do. Crew’s asseeeemble!!!



Step 3:

Choose your pad.



Now that the crew is assembled and assuming we’re not all blessed with the riches to live in SF, we have to book a place. We advise to look for hotels or Airbnb, if friends aren’t available. Team Bluntly goes for friends first and then Airbnb, given that Hotels tend to be anti-smoking. Find whatever suits your budget best and allows maximum funds to go to celebrating National Weed Day!



Step 4:



Ready, set, nom.



Now that the basics are settled, the real work begins. What to eat and drink while baking in the sun! Should you go for water and mixed nuts? Cookies and candy? Roasted chicken with steamed veggies? Whatever your favorite food is, bring it and enjoy the fuck out of it, because it’s going to taste delicious. Beverages and snacks will also be plentiful in the local area and from food vendors. We recommend a major breakfast to fill you up early and keep the good energy flowing all day, whatever you need to fill yourself up until later afternoon after 4:20PM on 4/20 passes. Now sufficiently baked, the city is your oyster to explore and find the perfect food to satisfy the biggest appetite of the year (perhaps a legendary Mission Burrito?).



Step 5:



Suit up.



What better day to be who you are on the day that celebrates freedom and uniqueness. The dress code is whatever the fuck you want. Technically, we should advise on lighter clothes to avoid heat stroke but otherwise anything goes!



Step 6:



Piece out.



If you are one who prefers a glass piece then replace this step with one and forget about the previous step one. Each pipe, bubbler, vape, or bong says something about its owner. We as smokers take pride in our pieces, giving them names, creating a bond with them through good times and bad, repping them as fashion accessories. This is a day to bring that personal piece into the public and show it off! This is one of the few places where people will admire you smoking out of a huge glass dragon bong, rather than that old man who doesn’t understand cannabis culture yelling at you because you lugged a 5-foot bong to your favorite sub shop for that “optimal high” before eating your sub.



Step 7:



Blaze of glory / 4:20PM.



This may well indeed be the most important step of the list. A quiet apartment with close friends is always one way to go, maybe mundane, but can’t knock it. When you are in SF, and if you aren’t down for the count from too many hits from the bong, then I would push for everyone to go to Hippie Hill in Golden State Park. This is the place where you cannot see the sky at 4:21PM because of the smoke cover. This is the place where everyone cheers and lights up simultaneously, celebrating cannabis and open-mindedness together. Or maybe it’s just that we know they can’t arrest all of us. Either way for this short day, cannabis is legal, at least on this hill it is.



Hope to see you all there!



Team Bluntly
