Yes, that’s real.

Every visit gets you one step closer to the grand prize, a PS5 giveaway valued at over $650. It’s the kind of upgrade that speaks for itself, and it’s up for grabs this 420.

Prices on these keep climbing, but this one comes in at exactly $0. All it takes is a bit of luck and showing up.

Stop by any of our four locations and get your ballot in. The more you visit, the more chances you have to enter, every visit counts.

No purchase necessary. Must be 19+ and a resident of Ontario to enter.

Early birds get the goods.

The first 15 guests on Monday, April 20 can score exclusive handmade tie-dye tees, a limited drop you won’t find anywhere else. Each piece is individually dyed, making every shirt slightly different, no two are exactly alike.

This is something we’ve done every 420 for the past five years, and every year they disappear just as fast. They’re printed locally by Presstime Designs, with a level of quality that feels more like something you’d buy than something you’d win.

These aren’t extras or leftover merch. They’re made in-house specifically for the people who start their 420 with us. Fifteen shirts, one morning, and once they’re gone, they’re part of the story.

Watch craftsmanship in action.

BenWa Glass will be hosting live glass blowing demos, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how functional art comes to life, plus on-site bowl repairs throughout the event.
