A sprouting marijuana plant is displayed on a sales desk at the Chillout cannabis social club the day after Germany's new cannabis legalization went into effect on April 02, 2024 in Aschheim, Germany. The new law legalizes possession and consumption of limited quantities of marijuana, and also allows individuals to grow up to three marijuana plants at home. In July cannabis social clubs will be allowed to grow marijuana plants for their members' consumption.

2/22 is an important date for pot smokers in New Jersey. That was the day in 2021 that Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill that legalized weed in the Garden State. Many were happy about it, but many were against it. The tax revenue it generates is one of the main contributing factors to the legalization. According to app.com, it’s also one of the most expensive states for pot smokers to buy it.

Big Day for Pot Smokers

Tomorrow is another important date for pot smokers, it’s 4/20, National Marijuana Day. So maybe our state’s pot smokers are looking for a place to vacation and celebrate where it’s a bit more pot-friendly.

Upgraded Points did them all a favor and sifted through all of the data to find the most pot-friendly destinations in America for pot smokers. There are twenty-four states where they have legalized recreational weed.

Top Spots for Pot Smokers

Their study found that Boulder, Colorado is on the top of the list of all the towns and states that offer pot-friendly places to stay. They have more than one hundred four such places per one hundred thousand residents in the state. There are all kinds of welcoming “pot spots” including Airbnbs, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast spots.

The next best place to travel for pot smokers is Burlington, Vermont. They have more than eighty-seven per one hundred thousand residents.

High on the list and landing in third, with over fifty-seven one hundred thousand residents was Sin City Las Vegas, Nevada. Also in the top five is Scottsdale, Arizona at number four. Now I have a better idea of why my brother moved out there a few years ago. The number five spot goes to Portland, Maine.

No city or town in New Jersey made the top fifty. The closest location to New Jersey on the list is New York City, and they burned out at number fifty. Check out the full list at upgradedpoints.com.

9 Films to Watch On 4/20

Every holiday usually has some sort of activity attached to it. While 4/20’s activity is obvious, a movie marathon should definitely be added to the agenda.

In honor of this literal high holiday, here are nine films you should binge.

  • Friday

    A stoner classic that hasn’t aged a bit.

  • Half Baked

    They’re not drug dealers; they’re fundraisers.

  • Pineapple Express

    The entire cast is incredible, but Danny McBride steals the show.

  • Reefer Madness

    Sure, it was meant as a cautionary tale when it was released in 1936, but it’s hard to watch this classic now without laughing hysterically.

  • Dazed and Confused

    There are only three words to describe this iconic Richard Linklater film:  Alright, alright, alright.

  • Up In Smoke

    If someone writes a list about stoner movies, and a Cheech and Chong film isn’t on the list, does the list even exist?  The answer is “no.”

  • Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

    Obviously, John Cho and Kal Penn deliver outstanding comedic performances, but is there a better actor playing himself in a cameo than Neil Patrick Harris as “Neil Patrick Harris?”

  • How High

    Magic weed gets Method Man and Redman accepted to Harvard. Hilarity ensues and gives new meaning to the phrase “higher learning.”

  • The Big Lebowski

    In addition to lighting up, fix yourself a White Russian (or two or four) as well.
