Politicians And Major Brands Celebrate Cannabis Culture On 4/20

No one should go to jail for smoking weed.

— Democrats (@TheDemocrats) April 20, 2026

Pennsylvanians who want to buy recreational marijuana are already driving across the border to one of our neighboring states who’ve legalized it.

That’s hundreds of millions in revenue going out of state instead of being spent here in Pennsylvania.

It’s time for us to finally… pic.twitter.com/ftYLZSpWvD

This year marks 10 years since Californians voted to legalize cannabis.

In the decade since, we've expanded opportunity and started to correct past injustices, and we continue building a safer, more accountable system. https://t.co/k3z4DgXsEv

Medical cannabis is bringing relief to Kentuckians; it's also bringing in new business and good jobs. Today we cut the ribbon on Blügrass in Nicholasville, a Kentucky-founded company that has returned to its home state thanks to the legalization of medical cannabis. pic.twitter.com/7yHXWH2gQo

We know what day it is. If you’re celebrating, do it responsibly—don’t drive impaired. Plan a safe ride and look out for each other, Colorado. pic.twitter.com/WNN7PRHatJ

The longer Pennsylvania holds out to legalize recreational marijuana, the longer we lose out on necessary tax revenue–or an expected $200 million annually.
 
It’s time for our state legislators to pass a bill and get it to the Governor’s desk.https://t.co/EgvuQqPXRR

It's time to legalize it in Wyoming! Share if you agree.
P.S. Wyoming Democratic Party supports the legalization of cannabis – WYGOP "stands against the legalization and decriminalization of medical and recreational marijuana (cannabis)." pic.twitter.com/xuBQWghaR9

As people celebrate 4/20, let’s be honest about the contradiction:

In many states, marijuana is legal.
In too many lives, the consequences are still permanent.

People are still carrying records.
Still locked out of jobs, housing, and opportunity – for doing what is now sold…

— Sen. Cory Booker (@SenBooker) April 20, 2026

Happy 4/20, Colorado! We legalized marijuana as governor. It's time we legalize it nationally.

Hope Snoop got his milk and cookies. 🥛🍪 https://t.co/DePY9KnhaC

— John Hickenlooper (@Hickenlooper) April 21, 2026

It’s 4/20, Colorado! 🍃

As Governor, our state created the gold standard for marijuana legalization. 

Now, we’re taking it national, with our legislation to set us up for success when marijuana becomes legal nationwide.

— Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) April 21, 2026

Minnesota and countless other states have proven how we can safely decriminalize and regulate the cannabis industry. Long overdue for the federal government to take a page out of that playbook.

Happy 4/20! As Co-Chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, I am proud to introduce my Higher Education Marijuana Research Act to eliminate barriers to academic research on cannabis.

It makes no sense for the federal government to impede this research when millions of… https://t.co/RWb7R336ml

No one should be in prison for marijuana possession.

It's time to pass the MORE Act to decriminalize cannabis nationwide and expunge records for cannabis-related offenses.

— Rep. Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) April 20, 2026

I'm celebrating 420 by calling on Congress to pass my bill, the MORE Act, to end the criminalization of cannabis and correct the historical injustices of failed drug policies.

For too long, cannabis policy has been a patchwork of inconsistent state laws that have… pic.twitter.com/TCvTJEG8Xj

The YEARS of progress to move cannabis out of Schedule I has stalled under Trump, with the DEA acting like the Strait of Hormuz.

Thousands are still in federal prison for non-violent marijuana offenses.

From skincare to beverages, there’s a hemp-product for everyone.

This 4/20, remember to support your local hemp growers, brewers and small business owners!

Meanwhile, I’ll keep fighting to reverse the federal hemp ban.🍃

On 4/20, a lot of Mass residents will be able to "celebrate" legally, but so many veterans who actually depend on cannabis won't.

I served with men and women who came home with chronic pain and post-traumatic stress. Many say cannabis is the only thing that helps treat their…

Happy first legal 4/20, Delaware!

In Congress, I am proud to cosponsor the MORE Act.

It’s past time to end the federal prohibition of marijuana, expunge nonviolent cannabis convictions, and uplift communities harmed by the failed war on drugs.

This is about justice, equity, and common sense.

— Congresswoman Julie Johnson (@RepJulieJohnson) April 20, 2026

In Congress, I’m a proud cosponsor of the MORE Act.

I’ve heard from veterans across Texas about the need for more care options, and this bill delivers a commonsense fix, allowing VA doctors to recommend medical cannabis and removing outdated barriers.

It’s time to pass it.…

Seems like a good day to say…we’ve gotta keep up the fight to legalize cannabis for adult use in PA. Let’s get it done!

— Chris Deluzio (@ChrisForPA) April 20, 2026

Decriminalize marijuana.

— Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (@RepKamlagerDove) April 20, 2026

On this 4/20, even with legalization in sight, there are still tens of thousands of people in prison for nonviolent cannabis “crimes.”

Legalization isn’t enough. Everyone caught up in prohibition deserves freedom and a clean record. pic.twitter.com/Ea4DYjen37

— Graham Platner for Senate (@grahamformaine) April 20, 2026

It’s about time Wisconsin legalizes marijuana. Illinois got $36 million dollars in tax revenue from Wisconsinites in one year – we are giving our neighbors millions every year by not legalizing.

Happy 4/20, please enjoy responsibly!

Iowa’s facing a nearly $1.4 billion budget hole, and insiders won’t stop digging. Part of the solution? Legalize, tax, and regulate adult-use cannabis. We treat it like alcohol.

Right now, Iowans are taking money across state lines—let’s keep that money here and put it to work…

Patients with chronic pain. Veterans dealing with PTSD. Families watching a loved one fight cancer. These are the people who voted. These are the people still waiting.

I will go to Washington and fight to make sure the federal government respects what Nebraska voters decided. Patients and caregivers are suffering. I will stop the obstruction.

We need a smarter approach to marijuana policy.

Legalize medical use.
Pardon non-violent charges.
Let the people decide recreational use through a statewide referendum.

Compassion. Fairness. Accountability.https://t.co/gWBw9vMJ3w pic.twitter.com/7A9n4reVSS

It’s 4/20! Remember to “Make a Plan” if you choose to consume cannabis outside the home or participate in a cannabis-centric social gathering today.

If you’re planning to get high, plan not to drive.

High driving could lead to high penalties like
heavy fines and even jail time. So plan ahead or
call a ride. Just don’t drive high.
