The unofficial holiday celebrating all things cannabis will soon be upon us, and businesses across the state are marking the second 4/20 since legalization in Minnesota with loads of events, discounts and specials. Because 4/20 falls on Easter Sunday this year, most of the celebrations are taking place on Saturday. All events are for adults 21 and older.
