The long weekend of Memorial Day gives us the opportunity to celebrate—servicemen, the coming of summer, time spent with our favorite people. Whether you’re throwing a party, taking a trip, or heading to a more rustic setting for some R&R, cannabis pairs perfectly with all of them.
Thirty-six states have legalized cannabis for adult (aka recreational) use, and many more have some form of weed legislation on the books. Here’s how to safely and effectively get your smoke, vape, dab, or edible on, no matter where you spend your weekend.

Not feeling up to an adventure? We got you. If you need a last-minute delivery, the Leafly app can connect you to the best dispensaries in your area with premium flower, edibles, vapes, dabs, prerolls, and gear.
If you need to make a quick pick-up, your local shop may be running an unbeatable deal through Leafly online. Our ever-growing strain database also shows you the closest legal vendors of your favorite Kush, Haze, or new boutique exotic. If you can’t make up your mind, here are some our favorite strains for the season, from Cherry Pie to Zamosa.
Before you fire off a joint, make sure you brush up on your state’s laws around consumption, like smoking in apartments versus private property. Some places, like New York City, allow a certain degree of public consumption, while others may relegate you indoors. In states with harsh penalties if you’re caught, it just isn’t worth it.
However, if your state allows consumption lounges (which you can check here), perhaps a quick stop before joining the barbecue or tailgate party is in order.
If you’re traveling across state lines (by car)

Traveling with cannabis is far from impossible, but proceed with caution when venturing out of state. If you’re taking a plane, you can consult our guide to air travel with cannabis.
Hitting the road via car or train is easier, but requires a little planning. Contributor Ted Andersen has a thorough travel guide for day trippers hitting the road with cannabis, as rules vary state to state. We say always double check your local and destination legislation before burning rubber, or a bowl of your favorite hybrid.
First things first, pack it up. Much like alcohol laws, even states with adult-use laws on the books prohibit smoking/vaping/dosing and driving, and that includes “open containers” (i.e., visible amounts) of bud, vape cartridges. Best to keep that all in the trunk, out of sight.
We recommend storing any products in smell-proof and child-proof containers. Seasoned contributor Matt Jackson wrote us a slick gear guide, including airtight jars, cases, and stash bags. If you prefer to bring your own bong, Puffco device, or similar accoutrement, keep them clean of any plant residue and store them with your goods.

If your plans take you between recreational states, Leafly can help you find the best dispensaries and delivery services worth your weekend. But if you’ve booked a hotel room or Airbnb, you must abide by the business’ consumption rules. And try not to set off the fire alarm.
Something else to note: the 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized hemp and hemp products, so possession is technically legal coast to coast. Keep in mind, however, that hemp and cannabis products can look identical without clear labelling, so store them with your THC wares.
If you’re camping

The great outdoors make the perfect backdrop for a weed-infused Memorial Day weekend, from National Parks to private campgrounds. But bringing cannabis into the mix can get tricky. No matter the state you celebrate in, National Parks are federal land, so any possession or use of cannabis and cannabis products is against the law.
Attorney Alex Freeburg, who specializes in cannabis charges in National Parks, said in an interview that violations can lead to hundreds of dollars in fines, probation, and in extreme cases, even jail time.
Private campgrounds will have their own rules, so cover your bases before you pitch your tent. Make sure anything involving a flame is put out after use to avoid impacting the flora and fauna. If you’re bringing edibles, as with food, make sure you store or dispose of it securely to avoid attracting any uninvited animal guests.
Welcome to May, Stargazers. The sun is steady in Taurus, setting a relaxed pace and encouraging us all to take things slow and enjoy what’s real. This is the time to enjoy simple pleasures and let yourself breathe. Whether you’re tending a garden, vibing with friends, or just zoning out with a favorite playlist, let yourself appreciate the easy moments. Taurus season reminds us that consistency is more powerful than rushing around.
A major shift happens mid-month with Saturn entering Aries. You might feel pushed to take action on long-term goals, but don’t rush it. Focus on setting clear intentions instead of chasing quick wins. Saturn in Aries is like lighting a slow, steady flame — energy that lasts, not burns out. It’s a good time to plant seeds for future plans, even if you don’t see results right away. Staying patient with yourself and others will be key.
Also worth noting: Uranus forms a sextile to the True Node this month, opening a door for changes that actually line up with where you’re meant to go. If an unexpected idea or opportunity shows up, don’t be afraid to explore it. Trust yourself, stay grounded, and stay open. May’s energy is all about slow growth, steady movement, and letting life unfold at a natural, easy pace.

For cannabis entrepreneur and New York City native, Vladimir Bautista, it all begins and ends with his neighborhood. You can call him the Mr. Rodgers of Harlem. His long, enviable career in the cannabis legacy space has given way to legal success, with two dispensaries opened last year in Manhattan and Brooklyn under his Happy Munkey brand.
“I believe that things are going to go the way they’re supposed to go,” he says. “You ever heard that saying, ‘Man makes plans and God laughs?’”
151 Dykman St., New York, NY — recreational
Bautista grew up in Sugar Hill in a Dominican family, back when the community was mired in the crack epidemic of the 1990s—a far cry from its Columbia University affiliations now. He discovered cannabis as a consumer at a young age, taking those first puffs with his middle school friends.
“There was a lot of doom and gloom around,” he says. “It was helping me mentally compared to all the other substances. It just created good vibes and energy around me and my friends.”

Despite cannabis being much safer than other drugs on the market—heroin, crack, cocaine—it was harder to find. By 16, Bautistia realized there was a market gap, and figured he could be the one to fill it.
“I remember having that ‘aha’, entrepreneur light bulb moment,” he says. “I’m gonna buy an ounce, and if it doesn’t sell, I’ll smoke it. I have everything to gain, nothing to lose, but this could be my lane.” His instincts proved correct. “After I purchased that ounce, I never had a job again.”
For years, Bautista serviced the city’s legacy market, scaling up his business and reputation. And, of course, fielding multiple arrests by the NYPD. The name Happy Munkey comes from his business partner, Ramon Reyes, whose spirit animal is a monkey. There’s also a story of the Hindu deity Hanuman, a monkey god, who ascended a mountain in search of healing herbs for the god Rama. Plus, it’s playful. In a city of gangsters, the idea of a happy, cheeky monkey feels welcoming.
“I remember having that ‘aha’, entrepreneur light bulb moment. I’m gonna buy an ounce, and if it doesn’t sell, I’ll smoke it. I have everything to gain, nothing to lose, but this could be my lane…After I purchased that ounce, I never had a job again.”
Vlad Bautista
Legalization out west changed everything. As states like Colorado, Washington, and California launched adult-use markets, Bautista knew that Happy Munkey needed to switch gears. Reyes had traveled to Amsterdam and recognized the potential in safe, private spaces to light up and meet like-minded people. He tapped a contact many other cannabis entrepreneurs in the city have met on their way to the legal market, International P. Through their network of contacts, they established an underground space for consumption events in 2017, and within two years Forbes dubbed the “Studio 54 of cannabis.”
Still, there was more growing to do. Before the COVID-19 pandemic would shutter their events arm, Bautista began attending cannabis conferences and festivals across the country, meeting industry legends like Steve DeAngelo and learning about the economics of the emerging business, like stocks.
“That was the moment of ‘there’s something here, this is coming to the East Coast,’” says Bautista, “when we [began] pursuing the legal cannabis market as a business. We understood that we were advocates, because we had a platform, we had influence.”
Bautista, Reyes, and Happy Munkey were instrumental in pushing for the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) and insisting on the bill’s social equity components. They mobilized their podcast, magazine, and merchandise while the city was under quarantine, and hosted an event at Wall Street’s Bobby Van Steakhouse for the first 4/20 post-legalization, in 2021.
As they waited for license approval, they continued hosting events that drew on the vast spectrum of the cannabis community, including an afterparty of the Van Gogh Immersive Experience and their 2022 symposium at Columbia University that featured scientists, entrepreneurs, and government officials.
“We brought out a lot of big people from the industry—politicians, doctors, lawyers. We attracted a really eclectic crowd; I think we were the first ones in New York to bring Main Street to Wall Street, with the rapper sitting next to the politician, the billionaire sitting next to the gangster.”
They hope the same can manifest in their two legal stores, serving two major hubs of people in two boroughs. They emphasize customer service, situating customers within their neighborhoods, and a wide selection of brands like Kiva Confections, Rolling Green, To The Moon, and Lobo.
“I think we were the first ones in New York to bring Main Street to Wall Street, with the rapper sitting next to the politician, the billionaire sitting next to the gangster.”
Vlad Bautista
While they can’t open an adult-use version of their beloved lounge just yet, they see 2025 as an opportunity. And it’s an opportunity that, Bautista says, was fated to them.
“The irony is that I bought that ounce on Sherman Avenue in 1998. And now, 27 years later, we just opened our first licensed store around the corner from where I bought that first ounce.”
Welcome to April, Stargazers! This month brings us into Aries season: a time when the spark of new beginnings surges through us with fresh energy, and maybe a little impulsiveness. Aries, the rams, likes to move fast—but not everything in the sky needs to feel like a rush. This month, something big is happening slowly: Neptune is transitioning from Pisces to Aries. It’s a shift that won’t happen all at once, but we’re starting to feel it now.
Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, helping us tap into imagination, dreams, and desires to escape limiting circumstances. It’s been a time of spiritual curiosity, blurred boundaries, and plenty of introspection. If you’ve spent the past decade swimming in waters that sometimes pull you deeper than what’s comfortable, or struggled trying to make sense of feelings or the universe, that was Neptune’s vibe.
But finally, Neptune’s tides give way to fiery Aries, a bold sign that acts first and figures things out later. The full shift won’t settle in until early 2026, (where it will stay until 2039!) but we’re getting our first tastes this month.

A planet in Aries territory means we may start to sense a change in how we dream and what we believe in. There’s more urgency, but also more courage. The fantasy isn’t just in our heads; it wants action. Maybe we’ll be more direct about what inspires us. Maybe our spiritual or creative paths will become bolder. There’s potential here for fresh visions and brave new ideas.
This is a slow process, and it won’t be neat. Neptune can still bring fog, even as Aries blazes new trails for us to follow. But it’s worth paying attention to how your energy changes this month, since Neptune will be shifting and evolving this part of your life over the next 14 years. Trust the shift, even if it doesn’t all make sense yet!
Light up something that helps you stay present, and just notice what your inner fire is telling you.
