This Day in Weed History: A Stoner Moment Worth Celebrating (with Cookies, Of Course) April 8
On April 8, 1979, the NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) held one of its earliest public demonstrations in support of federal decriminalization. It was a bold move during a time when weed was still demonized — and it sparked the beginning of a long, slow, beautiful journey toward normalization, legalization, and good vibes for all.
Fast forward to now — and here we are, in 2025, casually eating infused cookies in public, ordering gummies online, and running elevated brands like Higher Flour that our ancestors could only dream about.

Why It Matters to Higher Flour
At Higher Flour, we honor the past while baking the future.
We don’t forget that our ability to sell hemp-infused cookies, create trippy tinctures, and offer chill topicals in broad daylight is a privilege earned by decades of advocacy, activism, and underground culture. Every bite of a Higher Flour cookie is a toast to the people who paved the way — from protestors to policy changers to cookie-loving rebels.

How We Keep the Vibe Alive
We infuse our products with more than just flavor — we pack in intention, nostalgia, and wellness.
We normalize joy, self-care, and mindful indulgence in a world that once criminalized chill.
We celebrate cannabis culture’s roots while pushing the edible game higher (literally and creatively).
So today, we’re not just remembering history — we’re living it.

How to Celebrate Today
1. Grab a Higher Flour cookie. (We recommend something nostalgic — maybe Banana Choco Chip or our dreamy Creamsicle.)
2. Call a friend and share the story. Weed history deserves to be remembered.
3. Take a mindful moment. Whether it’s through a chill tincture, a hot bath with a CBD topical, or a sunset snack sesh — honor how far the plant (and the culture) has come.

Here’s to the past rebels and the future of flavor. Happy “This Day in Weed History” from all of us at Higher Flour.
Stay baked, stay grateful,
