A celebration of everything cannabis

Today is 420, the day people gather to celebrate and consume cannabis.

Originally the day was a day to advocate for the legalization of marijuana.

But with legalization the day has become more a celebration of victory.

This Saturday, aficionados will be heading to the 420 Expo at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre.

Organizors say "this year’s event will feature more than 30,000 square feet of all things cannabis, including; exhibitors, educational seminars, guest speakers, manufacturers, and more."

Tickets can be purchased online or at the door and tickets purchased in 2020, when the event was cancelled because of the pandemic, are still valid.
