How Ontario is Ditching Booze for Bud

Remember when 4/20 was the ultimate cannabis holiday? Massive smoke clouds, everyone lighting up at once, and a vibe that felt like a stoner’s New Year’s Eve. It’s still a thing, sure, but let’s be honest. Cannabis has gone way beyond just one day. More people are swapping their weekend drinks for a different kind of buzz, and the California Sober lifestyle is catching on big time. Especially right here in North Bay.

The Buzz Without the Booze

California Sober isn’t about missing out. It’s about choosing weed over whiskey, joints over gin, and skipping that dreaded hangover altogether. No regrets, no blackout stories, just a clean, relaxed high that keeps you in control.

In Ontario, this shift is heating up. Cannabis drinks are flying off shelves and cocktails are slowly becoming the backup plan. Our fave for a refreshing vibe? Green Monke Tropical Citrus. It’s bubbly, tasty, and infused with THC for a feel-good lift without the crash. Perfect for beach days, BBQs, or chilling at home on a Friday night.

North Bay Is On It

Here in North Bay, people are really leaning into the cannabis lifestyle. Instead of loading coolers with beer, folks are loading up on infused pre-rolls and top-shelf flower.

Want to level up your smoke session? Check out the latest drops from premium producers like BLK MKT, Simply Bare, Tweed or Woody Nelson. They pack a serious punch and bring that heavy-hitting potency that keeps the party going. Prefer something that’s prepped and ready to go? We are all about the Dab Bods Blue Lobster 60's Plus Double Infused Pre-Rolls. Smooth, strong, and seriously satisfying, these are not your average joints.

Whether you’re catching a sunset at the waterfront or just relaxing on your deck, cannabis is sliding into everyday life and people are loving it.

What About 4/20?

Don’t get us wrong, 4/20 will always have a place in cannabis culture. But these days, every day kind of feels like 4/20. The culture has grown up. People aren’t waiting for one day to light up. They’re incorporating cannabis into their lives in a more intentional, relaxed way.

So yeah, maybe California Sober is the new 4/20. And maybe that’s not such a bad thing. It’s about balance, feeling good, and living your life without needing a hangover to prove you had fun.
