Michigan Celebrates 4/20 with $3 Billion in Sales and Big Deals

Michigan’s recreational marijuana industry has experienced significant growth, with sales reaching $3 billion in 2024. To celebrate the annual “stoner holiday” of 4/20, marijuana retailers across the state are offering deals and giveaways.

One dispensary is even giving away a new car, while another is offering a $5,000 prize. Food chains like Buffalo Wild Wings, Insomnia Cookies, and Popeyes are also running promotions.

The origins of 4/20 can be traced back to a group of high schoolers in California who invited others to smoke weed on April 20, 1990, at 4:20 p.m. The term gained popularity after a flyer was distributed by a group of Oakland Deadheads, and it was later solidified in popular culture by High Times magazine.

In Michigan, various events and deals are planned for 4/20. A music festival in Kalamazoo will feature Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan, and dispensaries are offering special deals and giveaways. Battle Creek Dispensary has deals on Acapulco Gold, and House of Dank is celebrating its 10th anniversary with giveaways and discounts.

Other retailers, such as LIV Cannabis and Quality Roots, are offering deals on pre-rolls, edibles, and flower. King of Budz Cannabis Company is giving away a $60,000 car, and Gage is offering a $5,000 prize.

For those looking to celebrate 4/20 with food, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering a free sandwich with a purchase of $15 or more, while Insomnia Cookies is giving $4.20 off a Deluxe six-pack with code GOODSTUFF. Popeyes has a limited-time Munchies Menu available in their app and on their website.
