(AP) – Marijuana culture’s high holiday known as 4/20 falls this year on Easter, as well as the last day of Passover. That means cannabis fans can celebrate in some unusual ways, including an Easter nug hunt in Los Angeles, kosher-style THC gummies in New York and a blaze and praise drag brunch in Portland, Oregon. Some 300 people are expected to partake in the Easter nug scavenger hunt this weekend, aided by a mobile app leading them through participating dispensaries, trivia challenges and so-called stoner activities. The origin of the term 4/20 dates to the 1970s and a group of bell-bottomed buddies at a high school north of San Francisco who called themselves the Waldos.
