420 Expo, the BYOC (Bring Your Own Cannabis) Event, Returns to NJ with Guest Host Cheech Marin

By: PRLog

Close to 20,000 Cannabis Fans Expected September 29 – October 1 at New Jersey Expo Center in Edison, NJ

EDISON, N.J. - Aug. 14, 2023 - PRLog -- After becoming the largest BYOC (Bring Your Own Cannabis) consumer convention in the Northeast last year, 420 Expo is set to return to the Garden State, September 29 through October 1, at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, NJ. This year's event will be guest hosted by legendary actor, cannabis activist, and art collector, Cheech Marin, and is expected to draw an even bigger crowd than last year's 17,000+ attendees. Details and tickets are available on the event's website, 420Expo.com, and attendees must be 21+.

420 Expo, sponsored by Wakit Grinders, is a three-day celebration of the legal marijuana lifestyle. Visitors will enjoy a stigma-free vibe with live entertainment, celebrity appearances, cool vendors, and educational seminars inside the Expo Center. Outside, a large outdoor smoking section and a wide variety of food trucks will ensure attendees can get in a great mood while eating great food. (THC products will not be sold at 420 Expo, however attendees may bring the legal limit for personal use specified by the state of NJ.)

"Despite last year's legalization of adult use (recreational) marijuana in NJ, there still isn't enough tolerance," said Dan Davis, co-founder of 420 Expo. "A primary goal of 420 Expo is to remove the stigma surrounding cannabis, and it's a bonus that we get to have a blast achieving that goal."

"I am excited to be the guest of honor for this year's 420 Expo, and to celebrate legal marijuana in New Jersey," said cannabis icon Cheech Marin. "It's definitely going to be a heck of a party and I'm stoked to smoke and to be a part of it."

Cheech headlines a list of cannabis-friendly celebs who are scheduled to appear and be available for photos, autographs, and meet and greets at 420 Expo. Some will even be available for "Smoking Sessions" and other VIP experiences.
