Elevate your celebration in the most Colorado way you can – smoke a fatty.
FACT : there has been a massive shift recently in how people choose to celebrate, relax and unwind. More and more it doe snot involve alcohol. I personally do not drink booze, I lovingly refer to myself as “California Sober” meaning I don’t drink, but i do partake in cannabis and psilocybin. Bottom line – Colorado is an amazing place to pull off a 420 friendly elopement.
Like many of you, I simply enjoy cannabis more than drinking booze.
If popping a cork isn’t your thing, why force a tradition that doesn’t fit your life? It’s your wedding day. If you prefer rolling a fat joint over clinking crystal glasses, I say hell yes.
Here’s the deal: as a gardener who loves watching things grow, plant magic is my jam—and that includes cannabis. Whether you’re a seasoned daily consumer, a low-dose social smoker, or someone who loves a relaxing microdose edible to take the edge off, everyone deserves to celebrate their elopement in a way that feels authentically them.
MJ isn’t just something you sneak into a parking lot anymore; it’s a full-on celebratory marker. People use top-shelf champagne to mark big moments—why not use top-shelf herb?
Let’s break down how to throw a badass, elevated, 420-friendly Colorado elopement without getting hit with a vibe-killing fine.
The Fine Print (Don’t Skip This!)
Before we talk strain pairings, let’s get the legal realness out of the way so your day stays stress-free:
- Federal Land is a No-Go: National Parks (like Rocky Mountain National Park) and National Forest lands are federal property. Weed is still federally illegal, so bringing or smoking it on federal dirt is a major nono. Vail.gov
- Private Property & State Rules: To spark up safely, legally, and openly, private property (like a kickass 420-friendly Airbnb or private mountain venue) is king. colorado.gov *** for my insiders list of 420 friendly places to stay for your elopement – check out my next blog post.***
- Public Display Laws: Colorado law says no “open and public” consumption. That’s why we carefully curate where and how we celebrate! Vail.gov
4 Ways to Elevate Your Elopement with Cannabis
1. Swap the Champagne Toast for a “First Joint”
Just hit your “I dos”? Instead of spraying prosecco everywhere, light up a pre-roll specifically chosen for the occasion. We can grab custom rolling papers, order custom joint cones matching your wedding colors, or smoke out of a custom hand-blown glass piece that doubles as your favorite keepsake forever. I can show you exactly how to pull off a 420-friendly elopement in Colorado.
2. Pair Strains with Your Day’s Vibe
Just like pairing wine with dinner, different strains hit different:
- The “First Look” Spark: A high-terpene Sativa or hybrid (think Sour Diesel or Super Lemon Haze) to spark energy, laugh until your stomach hurts, and get hyped for photos.
- The “Unwind at Sunset” Chill: An Indica or heavy hybrid (like Granddaddy Purple or Wedding Cake—literally named for this!) to melt into a hot tub at your Airbnb while watching the mountains go purple.
- The “No-Smoke” Flow: Low-dose fast-acting THC beverages, botanical mints, or soothing topicals for sore feet after exploring.
3. Custom Floral & Cannabis Combos
As a gardener, nothing gets me more excited than texture and greenery. Boutonnières made with real cannabis leaves, floral crowns woven with fan leaves, or bridal bouquets that tuck raw, aromatic hemp buds right alongside wild mountain roses. It smells incredible, looks high-end, and adds a personal nod to what you love.
4. The Ultimate Post-Vow Munchie Picnic
Forget boring caters. Let’s set up a high-vibe private chef picnic or a luxury charcuterie board right at your 420-friendly lodging. Fancy cheeses, wood-fired pizza, artisan chocolates, and icy cold craft sodas hitting when the munchies kick in? Unbeatable.
