PRLog -- The 420 Expo (http://420expo.com/)
represents a milestone in the cannabis community: the first-ever BYOC Consumer Cannabis Event in New Jersey! Guest hosted by the legendary Tommy Chong and presented by Wakit Grinders, 420 Expo is a celebration of cannabis, featuring three days of live entertainment, celebrity appearances, 75+ vendors, food trucks, education, after parties, and an outdoor smoking section. (THC products will not be sold here, but attendees may bring the legal limit specified by the state of NJ.) Attendees must be 21+. Details and tickets are available on 420Expo.com.
"I'm glad that states like New Jersey are finally legalizing cannabis – it's about time," said cannabis activist and guest host Tommy Chong, who is one half of the iconic comedy duo, Cheech and Chong. "Now it's time to celebrate, to educate, and to remove the stigma. That's what we'll be doing for three days at the 420 Expo."
More than 15,000 people are expected to attend this public event – from cannabis connoisseurs to the "canna curious." Highlights from the action-packed 420 Expo agenda include:
- VIP Celebrity Meet & Greets with the legendary Tommy Chong and WWE Hall-of-Famer Rob Van Dam ("Mr. 420"), as well as live Q&A sessions with both.
- Appearances by model/wrestler Katie Forbes, glass-maker icon Jerome Baker, and more.
- Non-stop live entertainment, including musical performances from artists such as Atari Jones, Brother Jerome, Screaming Broccoli, Isn't It Always, and The Early Birds
- 75+ vendors from the cannabis world and beyond (no THC sales)
- 20+ seminars & panels, such as "Cannabis 101," "How to Get Into the Canna Biz," "Combatting the Social, Racial, & Economic Injustices of Cannabis," "Medical Marijuana," and "Smoking, Vaping or Eating: How Much For the Most Fun?"
- Outdoor smoking section (BYOC) with plenty of food trucks, music, and games
- Glass blowing, axe throwing, iconic cars from movies, product demonstrations, gaming areas, and more.
- The Curved Papers Rolling Contest
- VIP lounge and VIP after parties each night
- Extreme people watching and more
420 Expo will also offer the chance for a few attendees to mark something off their bucket lists: a VIP Smoking Session with Tommy Chong or Rob Van Dam! Friday and Saturday, an intimate number of fans have the opportunity to hang out with either legend and make a memory to last a lifetime. Tickets for these sessions and celebrity meet and greets are available at

"Even though more Americans now smoke marijuana more than tobacco, there is still a lot of misperception and confusion to overcome before legalization becomes normalization,"
said J. Handy, co-founder of the event. "At 420 Expo, cannabis will be the star."
"The cannabis community will also be in the spotlight, instead of in the shadows as it has been in the past," added co-founder Dan Davis. "We invite all adults 21 and older to come on out, enjoy the party, and explore this new frontier."
420 Expo at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, NJ will be open to the public:
- Friday, September 16, 5pm – 11pm (ribbon cutting by Tommy Chong)
