Last-Minute 4/20 Essentials: What You Need for the Perfect Celebration

Last minute 4/20 essentials guide, blog from The Clear Brands

So… you blinked and suddenly it’s 4/20 weekend. Maybe you forgot to stock up. Maybe this is your first year partaking in the festivities. Either way, you can still pull together a solid 4/20 setup without scrambling or overspending.

As the cannabis holiday we celebrate every year, there can be some pressure to do it “right”.

Whether you’re planning a chill solo sesh, checking out the local events, or a living room hotbox with friends, here’s everything you need to make your 4/20 celebration a good time, even with less time to prepare.

Secure The Goods

Let’s be real. The main attraction on 4/20 is that sweet, sweet cannabis.

If you’re down to the wire, there’s no time to waste figuring out what to buy. That’s where The CLEAR comes in. Whether you’re a seasoned toker or just getting started, we’ve got you covered with fast, flavorful, and potent options.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

The CLEAR Original

For the vape lovers who want that smooth, classic hit. The CLEAR Original line delivers consistent potency with one-of-a-kind flavor profiles, and consistency you can count on. It’s perfect if you’re on the move throughout the day or just want a streamlined option.

The CLEAR TWAX Infused Pre-rolls

For all the heavy hitters, this one’s for you. The CLEAR TWAX is an infused pre-roll that’s absolutely loaded; combining flower, distillate, and kief for an experience that goes way beyond your standard J.

It’s loud, flavorful, and sure to give you heady folks a worthwhile experience.

The CLEAR EFX

Just dipping your toes into the 4/20 scene? The CLEAR EFX is a solid pick for beginners or those who want a milder vibe. It’s formulated to be approachable, so you can ease into things without getting totally couch-locked.

Available in all-in-one vapes, low-dose swallowable tablets and easy to split and share gummies, EFX delivers a more catered experience utilizing precise minor cannabinoid infusions. Whether you’re looking to chill all day or stay out and about, EFX can provide the effects you seek.

Don’t forget: snag a lighter (or two), make sure your vape is charged, and bring a backup battery just in case! Nothing kills the mood like gear that won’t cooperate.

Maximize the Munch

It is an unfortunate, but almost guaranteed fact of life. After a couple of hits, your stomach’s gonna start asking for the good stuff. Whether you’re team sweet and salty, hot and spicy, or a combination killer, the munchies go hand in hand with 4/20.

Everybody has their munchie preferences, but here’s a few of our recommendations you can grab quick from the gas station or corner store:

  • Chips, cookies, or microwave popcorn

  • Chocolate or gummies (just don’t mix them up with the THC gummies)

  • Frozen pizza or pizza bites you can toss in the oven (apparently these new buffalo chicken pizza rolls are the sh*t)

Bonus points for a quick DIY snack like cereal bars, nachos, or a peanut butter and banana sandwich if you’re feeling fancy.

But more important than securing those god-tier munchies, is staying hydrated.

Water will always be #1 in our book, but it’s hard to beat a nice sweet soda or juice. If you really want to maximize THC intake for the holiday, look for a cannabis-infused drink for a double dose of the good stuff.

The Vibes will be Immaculate

Once you’ve got your green and snacks, it’s time to establish the vibe. You don’t need anything elaborate, just enough to ensure you and your crew have the best time possible.

Here’s a quick checklist:

  • Playlist: Queue up some chill beats, classic stoner anthems, or whatever makes you smile. Spotify and YouTube have tons of 4/20 playlists ready to roll. Just be warned, playlist quality may vary.

  • Lighting: Candles, LED lights, or even just dimmed bulbs do the trick. Bonus points for lava lamps or string lights. Then again, it’s hard to beat natural sunlight on a nice day!

  • Comfort gear: Blankets, pillows, comfy clothes, eye drops, and something soft to lounge on. If you’re going to be out and about, have your favorite sunglasses and sweater ready to go if the weather takes a turn.

Pro tip: Put your phone on Do Not Disturb if you’re planning to get really stoned. Let yourself enjoy the moment.

Make it to the next 4/20

More important than any of the munchies and marijuana that you’ll consume this 4/20 holiday, is staying safe!

  • Know your limits—especially if you’re trying a new product or haven’t used cannabis in a while. Especially with edibles, always start low, and go slow

  • If you’re heading out, don’t drive high. Call a ride, take transit, or celebrate at home.

  • Hosting friends? Make sure everyone’s safe, hydrated, and knows where the snacks are.

If the high hits harder than expected, don’t panic. It is virtually impossible to overdose on cannabis, but it doesn’t mean you can’t overdo it. Grab a snack, take deep breaths, and stay hydrated. You’ll be back to baseline within a few hours in most cases.

Wrapping up

4/20 is the cannabis holiday. But it’s important to remember what 4/20 actually represents, and we aren’t talking about a group of friends meeting up to get stoned at 4:20 in the 70s!

Despite the majority of states in the US having legal cannabis in some form, whether medical or recreational, it remains illegal on the federal level. There were over 200,000 cannabis-related arrests in 2023 alone.

While we should all enjoy ourselves this 4/20 holiday, it is important to remember that we are still in a fight for legalization, and it is still an uphill battle. Whether it’s making your voice heard on 4/20 or just having a good time, we hope your 4/20 is safe and great!
