Filed Under: God, Eggs & Ganja
This Sunday, two very different holidays crash into each other like a stoned bunny hopping into traffic: Easter and 4/20.
It’s a once-in-a-generation mash-up of resurrection and reefer. A rare cosmic collision where THC meets TLC, grandma meets ganja, and the Easter ham shares table space with your cousin’s weed gummies labeled “Spiritual Awakening.”
This isn’t a joke. It’s a calendar glitch with real consequences. Because if there was ever a day to test how far cannabis culture has come, it’s this one when half the house is dressed for church and the other half smells like they just attended a Cypress Hill concert.
How Rare Is This?
You’d have to go back to 2014 to find the last time Easter and 4/20 overlapped. Before that, in 2003. After this? 2083. So yeah, this is your one shot to wake and bake while grandma prays over deviled eggs.
Mark it in the Bible or your dab rig.
Brunch at 10, Bong at 4?
Here’s the reality: some people are already planning to split the day.
It starts with a sunrise service or at least a guilt-ridden Zoom call to Mom. Then, around 4:00 PM, the edibles hit. Hard. By dinner, you’re contemplating resurrection metaphors while trying to pass the mashed potatoes without exposing your bloodshot eyes.
One stoner on Reddit put it best:
“I’m doing the Lord’s work. But also the Lord’s herb.”
Family Dynamics: Smoke and Judgment
Have you ever tried to explain the difference between sativa and indica while someone’s saying grace?
Welcome to Easter 4/20.
It’s the only day when the family meal might include CBD-deviled eggs and your aunt wondering aloud if “weed can be holy too.” Your nephew is hyped about the Easter Bunny; you’re still stuck on whether you actually saw him behind the garage during a particularly intense edible wave.
If your cousin offers you a “resurrection blunt,” say yes. If your uncle asks, “Is that skunk I smell?” play dumb and blame the ham.
The Branding Is Getting Absurd
Leave it to dispensaries to go full sacrilegious with the marketing. Some of the actual promo lines out there:
“He Is Resin.”
“Easter Grass You Can Smoke.”
“Risen. Roasted. Reefered.”
There are 4/20-themed chocolate bunnies with THC in the ears. “Holy Smokes” prerolls. “Spiritual Awakening” vape carts. And probably a pastel-colored grinder named Lazarus.
This is what happens when cannabis stops being counterculture and becomes capitalism.
Weed-Friendly Churches? Yes, Really.
As weird as it sounds, some churches welcome cannabis as part of spiritual practice.
In Oregon and California, a few progressive congregations are holding services where joints are passed with the collection plate. One Colorado-based “spiritual cannabis ministry” is offering Easter “sacrament kits” that include infused olive oil and rolling papers that say “bless up.”
These aren’t jokes. These are real things happening in legal states.
Jesus turned water into wine. These folks are turning sermons into smoke circles.
How Are People Celebrating?
Some are leaning in. Full combo holiday.
Instagram is about to be a warzone of:
Crosses made of rolling papers
Weed eggs hidden in planters
Caption contests between “He is risen” and “I am lit”
Meanwhile, others are playing it safe, opting to celebrate 4/20 on Saturday and show up clean for Easter dinner.
You know who’s not playing it safe? Your friend who’s high as hell at an Easter egg hunt, convinced every plastic egg holds a universal truth. (Spoiler: it’s jellybeans.)
What This All Says About Weed Now
Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t even whisper “weed” on Easter.
Now it’s in dispensary ads, hiding in grandma’s arthritis cream, and competing with Peeps for shelf space. And nobody’s burning witches. They’re just burning flower.
This isn’t just about stoners. It’s about how cannabis finally elbowed its way to the grown-up table, even if the table is covered in doilies and ham glaze.
Weed made it. Not because it rebelled, but because it adapted.
So yeah, this year you can celebrate Jesus and Jah. Pass the jellybeans and the preroll. Say “He is risen” with a straight face, then ask your cousin for a lighter.
Because on April 20, 2025, everyone’s getting lifted.
Some in pews. Some in the clouds.
And a few lucky ones? Both.
