On April 20th, 2023, the 420 @ the Garden event in Southeast San Diego brought together the community to celebrate cannabis culture, social equity, and the progress of the cannabis industry. Hosted at Mount Hope Church and co-sponsored by March and Ash, the event featured a unique Easter Egg Hunt where participants discovered cannabis-infused products, enjoyed live music, and participated in enlightening conversations.

Local leaders, like Elena Franco, chair of the Mount Hope neighborhood group, shared their vision for building a community recreation center. This project will provide vital resources for the neighborhood and emphasize the need for social equity in the cannabis space. Speakers like Carma, a community advocate, also highlighted the importance of combining land and sea medicine and discussed sustainable cannabis practices.

The Dodi Connection podcast captured the energy of the event with Mr. Wowser hosting live interviews. From personal stories to cannabis product revelations, the latest episode, “Sounds from the 420 Garden,” features exciting moments and discussions on cannabis, social justice, and community engagement.
