As April 20 approaches, a day recognized by cannabis enthusiasts across the country, many restaurants are gearing up to celebrate with special deals that cater to both cannabis lovers and foodies alike. Dubbed 4/20, this unofficial holiday has become synonymous with marijuana culture, offering a perfect opportunity for eateries to attract customers with enticing promotions.
This year, 4/20 falls on a Sunday, coinciding with Easter Sunday, making it a unique occasion for those who partake in both festivities. With over 24 states and the District of Columbia having legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use, the day is marked not just by celebrations but also by a push for greater access to cannabis products. Many brands in the cannabis industry are rolling out special deals on edibles and drinks infused with THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol), two key compounds found in marijuana.
Among the notable participants, Popeyes has introduced a limited-time Munchies Menu available exclusively from April 14 to April 20. Customers can enjoy any Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, excluding the Bacon and Cheese variant, for just $4.20 when ordering through the Popeyes app or website. The chain is also offering sides like Cajun Fries, Mac & Cheese, and Mashed Potatoes, catering to those with larger appetites.
Jimmy John's is also joining the fun with the launch of its Toasted Hot Combo (THC) Box. This limited-time meal includes a Toasted Sandwich, a choice of chips, a pickle spear, and a sweet treat. The pickle spear, designed to resemble something familiar to the 4/20 crowd, has garnered attention on social media, delighting fans of the sandwich chain.
Meanwhile, Red Lobster is celebrating the occasion with a cocktail special: the "Side Hustle by Dre + Snoop," priced at $4.20. This limited-time drink, made with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's Still G.I.N., features tropical flavors of orange, pineapple, and guava, served with a side of Skittles—a nod to Snoop's favorite munchies. The cocktail is available at select Red Lobster locations throughout the week.
