Here’s a 400-word combined news article summarizing and synthesizing all three sources:


as 4/20 approaches, mainstream brands and media are increasingly embracing the holiday, transforming it from a subculture celebration into a powerful pop culture and marketing event.

A recent survey from cannabis telehealth platform NuggMD reveals that 76% of cannabis consumers support non-marijuana brands tapping into 4/20 festivities, saying it helps normalize the plant and expand its cultural relevance. Companies like DoorDash have even adjusted policies to accommodate hemp-derived THC, signaling broader acceptance.

Meanwhile, Times Square in New York City is getting its own cannabis-themed makeover. Rolling paper brand Zig-Zag and Cannabis Now Media have launched a bold, week-long campaign featuring a 200-foot billboard with a massive joint image, 3D digital ads, and a curated exhibit of vintage brand memorabilia. The campaign also features street teams, influencer content, and pop-up experiences. “It’s essential to normalize this plant,” said Cannabis Now founder Eugenio Garcia. “Times Square is the perfect place to spark that conversation.”

Mainstream and unexpected brands are also launching quirky, on-theme promotions. Carl’s Jr. is back with its “$4.20 Snack Sack” of indulgent munchies, while Jimmy John’s offered a “Munchie Crusher” event in Long Beach, complete with sandwich wrap rolling papers. BarkBox delighted pet lovers with cheeky cannabis-themed dog toys, and H&R Block Canada tackled “Cannabis and Your Taxes” with a tongue-in-cheek ad featuring a bong-shaped piggy bank.

Ben & Jerry’s leaned into its advocacy roots with calls for cannabis justice reform, while Netflix offered cannabis cooking content and The New York Times’ Wirecutter reviewed portable vaporizers. Chipotle, Totino’s, and even the Wyoming, Minnesota police department jumped on the 4/20 train with playful social posts.

Beverage brands like Lagunitas continue to honor the day with cannabis-scented ales, and streaming platform Spotify previously shared psychedelic imagery celebrating music and marijuana.

The enthusiasm isn’t just playful; many consumers plan to increase cannabis use in 2025, according to multiple polls, despite inflation forcing some to cut back. Cannabis has also been linked to reduced alcohol consumption, further highlighting its growing role in lifestyle shifts.

With 4/20 falling on Easter Sunday this year, brands are balancing fun, festivity, and advocacy—further proof that the once-taboo plant is steadily becoming a mainstream cultural and commercial force.
