420

A panel of cannabis experts will be available to chat on a 420 hotline for Canadians seeking help or who have questions about cannabis.

Although this hotline is limited to Canadians, there are many opportunities for education in the U.S. as well. “This is our way of providing the same service to those who view 420 as an equally important event.” An estimated 20% of Canadians said that if they had more education resources, they would be more likely to consume (and 70% said educational resources would have no impact on their consumption). New survey data shows that Canadian cannabis consumption is higher than ever. The Green Organic Dutchman CEO Sean Bovingdon expressed the importance of answering questions and helping out any consumers who need guidance when consuming cannabis. VP of Marketing of The Green Organic Dutchman, Drew Campbell, also shares that point of view.

The high schoolers, engaging in an activity that was strictly illegal at the time, started to use “420” as code for marijuana, Time reported.
