Weed may not be legal in Tennessee but 4/20 food deals from Red Lobster, Popeyes help celebrate marijuana holiday

Show Caption

• 4/20, an unofficial holiday celebrating cannabis, falls on Easter Sunday this year.
• Many businesses, including fast food restaurants, offer 4/20-themed deals and discounts.

The celebration of 4/20, an unofficial holiday for those who celebrate pot, cannabis, or marijuana, will take place this weekend.

This year, 420 Day, as it’s referred to by the National Day Calendar, falls on a Sunday, the same day as Easter Sunday. To mark the day, weed purveyors often offer deals to customers.

As a running joke, plenty of fast food restaurants and dessert shops join in on the holiday fun and offer discounted menu items to help handle the munchies. While marijuana is not legal in Tennessee, you can still take advantage of these food deals.

Here are some of the discounts happening this weekend.

Jimmy John’s THC Box special

The sandwich chain has added a limited-time 420-themed meal to its menu: the Toasted Hot Combo (THC) Box. This box includes a Toasted Sandwich, any flavor of Jimmy Chips, a choice of sweet treat, and a crisp Jimmy Pickle spear. The price of the box varies on the sandwich choice.

Red Lobster’s ‘Side Hustle by Dre + Snoop’ cocktail special

All week, Red Lobster is celebrating 4/20 with a limited-time cocktail ($4.20) made with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s Still G.I.N. and orange, pineapple, and guava, along with a side car of Skittles, apparently Snoop’s favorite munchie (available at select Red Lobster locations).
