Seven passes left to attend the Digiday Publishing Summit

Yesterday was, of course, the moveable feast that is Easter Sunday; but for a certain demographic it was a completely different high holiday: 4/20, a day for celebrating recreational marijuana use.
Marijuana lovers around the world spent Easter (or rather Weedster) stoned out of their gourds. Not a huge surprise. What was interesting, though, is that some brands were brave enough to play along. Most brands would be too timid to go anywhere near such a hot-button topic — Taco Bell playfully side-stepped the topic during its reddit AMA last month. But here are some brands that were brave enough to support cannabis culture:
