Millions of America’s football fans will pair their favorite pastime with more legal cannabis than ever before.
Super Bowl LVII in the mature legalization state of Arizona promises one of the biggest bumps in sales of the year. The stoke is even bigger in freshly legal Kansas City. Medically legal Philadelphia, San Francisco smokers, and friends across the US will also burn one for the game Sunday afternoon.
The lines at Phoenix and Kansas City dispensaries have already begun, owners report.
More than 99 million people watched the 2022 Super Bowl, and up to 600,000 people descend on the Phoenix valley this week. The line of planes waiting to land has begun stretching for miles, said Demitri Downing, co-founder of the major trade association MITA-AZ. This year offers the highest visibility ever for the ascendant legal cannabis movement.
“The town is going to be packed,” Downing said. “This is our biggest event of the year.”
Fans love to pair cannabis with the Big Game: Weed’s common effects of euphoria, hunger, and relaxation can enhance the experience of watching sports. The data company Springbig anticipates sales to jump up to 24% over the daily average in February. Savvy sellers tell Leafly they have hit 5,000% average sales with bargain ounces, vapes, and edibles delivered minutes after mobile ordering.
“We’ve seen a massive, massive bump,” said Jeff Dillon, head of marketing for Smoakland weed delivery in Northern California. “Cannabis and football go together like chips and dip.”

The Phoenix metropolitan area is set to host hundreds of thousands of people for Super Bowl LVII weekend, beginning now through the game on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 3:30 p.m. PST. Arizona began adult-use sales in January 2021, and more than 100 dispensaries are open.
“There’s a bunch of events going on. It’s going to be a crazy week,” said Downing for MITA-AZ.
The rapper Redman headlines the Mint Mall at Consumption Park, promoted by one of the closest dispensaries to the stadium, The Mint. Trulieve hosts the Cannablitz tailgate party as well. Ricky Williams hosts the 4th and 20 party over three days.
Two miles from State Farm Stadium, Sonoran Roots CEO Michael O’Brien expects his store Ponderosa to sell at least 10% more products than it does during a normal day. Then, Sonoran Roots will host a party downtown.

“We’ve been getting a lot of calls from people out of town,” he said. “It’s the best time of year for us.”
He planned for brisk business in flower varieties like Sonoran Roots premium Kush Mints, Cherry Cosmo, and Lemon Cane. Canamo concentrates and Lost Farm edibles from Kiva sell well to novices.
“They’re looking at more vapes and edibles. They’re looking to be discreet.”
Arizona’s mature legal cannabis market includes online ordering. A third of orders this week will come in from mobile phones and computers, O’Brien said.

The trade association Co-Founder Demitri Downing wants to showcase the responsible, health and wellness facet of cannabis.
The run-up to the game includes a no-alcohol golf tournament and a yoga event with former NFL players.
“We don’t want to see the equivalent of a booze-drenched party in cannabis,” Downing said. “Our industry is right in the middle of deciding its image—we advocate individual excellence, responsible behavior, and responsible messaging.”
“Cannabis is one of god’s best remedies that ever existed,” he said.
Missouri and Pennsylvania riding high

Missourans ride high with Kansas City in the NFL finals and legalization blowing through the former Confederate state. Up to 100,000 marijuana record expungements may result from the freshly enacted law.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ place in the NFL Finals only compounds crowds at Missouri dispensaries, which flipped from medical to adult-use with the stroke of a keyboard last week.
Some stores have seen 7 times the average daily sales, said Laurie Gregory, chief marketing officer for Good Day Farm. “It’s been a fantastic weekend. The Show Me State showed up.”
Shoppers will snap up pre-rolls priced at one penny this weekend and “Game Day Gummies.” The southern dessert King Cake is now a THC-infused gummy flavor.

Gregory said Good Day Farm’s best-selling flower right now in Missouri is the comically named Titty Sprinkles. The strain’s breeder lost a mom to breast cancer, said Gregory. Proceeds from the products go to breast cancer research. Patients use it for pain and inflammation.
“It’s just a fan favorite. They laugh at the name. They chuckle again. It’s cannabis, it’s fun—part of having fun is feeling good,” said Gregory.
All-in-one vape pens from Go Pens do well with flavors Grape Soda, Wild Watermelon, and Strawberries and Cream.
Good Day Farm’s Kansas City dispensary hosts food, music, and fun. It’s an incredibly proud moment for Missouri, she said.

“We anticipate very strong sales,” she said. “The weed here is amazing.”
Over at Greenlight’s dispensary in Kansas City—kiosks, a walk-up window, and a drive-through will promptly provide folks with edibles, vapes, and their custom K.C. Kush. Greenlight. Greenlight CEO John Mueller said a couple of stores sold 9 times their average amounts last weekend. Missouri now entices Illinoisans across the border with lower taxes, more cultivars, and better strains, he said.
Greenlight also hosts three bonafide, legal farmer’s markets this weekend called Underground. Missouri farmers go direct to consumers in a secret room in the dispensary—featuring blowout deals and new releases.
“It’s going to be a very crazy weekend. It would have been crazy with the Super Bowl alone.”
“Online order ahead to walk or drive up, and save yourself time,” he said.
A proud Chiefs fan, Mueller holds Chiefs season tickets. His family has been dressing in red all week, and he will attend the game in Phoenix.
“It’s a great time,” he said. “It’s kind of our thing here, being the local company we are.”
Reggie Harris, CEO of House of Kush, Kansas City, MO brand cannabis went from pro football to cannabis. He used to be the General Manager of the Kansas City Brigade, an Arena Football League team. Now, his minority-owned business has fresh strains on shelves in Missouri in time for the game and is sponsoring Consumption Park.
“Interest in the brand has picked up,” he said. “There is huge value in getting in front of consumers.”
Pennsylvania pride
The medical cannabis state of Pennsylvania celebrates the Philadelphia Eagles in the finals this weekend. Roughly 165 stores will likely run deals and promotions there as well.
The nine Ethos dispensary locations run bundle deals on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Philly and Pennsylvania in general is juiced for the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. Ethos has begun planning for the downtown parade next week.
“Our patients are super-excited and ready for the Eagles to win the Super Bowl,” said Ethos Vice-President of Retail Operations and Supply Gibran Washington. “We’re going to have a parade in Philly next week. We’re betting on the parade.”
San Francisco smokes to a wild season

And back in San Francisco, fans lick their wounds and toast to an unexpected run after the 49ers’ defeat by the Eagles. Stores and delivery services have already hit big with the NFL season so far.
Smoakland cannabis delivery service marketing director Jeff Dillon reports 5 times the average daily sales near the 49ers’ stadium and party hot spots. Fans place mobile phone orders and receive a drop from a van in minutes near the park. Smoakland ran specials like the Brock Star and Zkittlez ounces for $88. The best seller is a $49 flower ounce touted at tailgate parties in the stadium parking lot.
All-in-one house brand vapes called Faders sell well.
“Business has been fantastic,” he said. “Especially because it falls on Valentine’s Day—you got a little bit for him, a little bit for her. For us, it’s a big holiday.”
“You would expect it to slow down. We get very heavy sales all the way through the game.”

Welcome to April, Stargazers! This month brings us into Aries season: a time when the spark of new beginnings surges through us with fresh energy, and maybe a little impulsiveness. Aries, the rams, likes to move fast—but not everything in the sky needs to feel like a rush. This month, something big is happening slowly: Neptune is transitioning from Pisces to Aries. It’s a shift that won’t happen all at once, but we’re starting to feel it now.
Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, helping us tap into imagination, dreams, and desires to escape limiting circumstances. It’s been a time of spiritual curiosity, blurred boundaries, and plenty of introspection. If you’ve spent the past decade swimming in waters that sometimes pull you deeper than what’s comfortable, or struggled trying to make sense of feelings or the universe, that was Neptune’s vibe.
But finally, Neptune’s tides give way to fiery Aries, a bold sign that acts first and figures things out later. The full shift won’t settle in until early 2026, (where it will stay until 2039!) but we’re getting our first tastes this month.

A planet in Aries territory means we may start to sense a change in how we dream and what we believe in. There’s more urgency, but also more courage. The fantasy isn’t just in our heads; it wants action. Maybe we’ll be more direct about what inspires us. Maybe our spiritual or creative paths will become bolder. There’s potential here for fresh visions and brave new ideas.
This is a slow process, and it won’t be neat. Neptune can still bring fog, even as Aries blazes new trails for us to follow. But it’s worth paying attention to how your energy changes this month, since Neptune will be shifting and evolving this part of your life over the next 14 years. Trust the shift, even if it doesn’t all make sense yet!
Light up something that helps you stay present, and just notice what your inner fire is telling you.

Let your actions speak for you, even if you’re not always in the mood for the spotlight.
Neptune’s slow shift into Aries adds a long-term influence to your goals and reputation.

It’s a good month to check in on what you’re holding onto: financially, emotionally, or energetically. Take stock of what’s worth keeping and what’s ready to shift. You don’t have to figure it all out at once, but some quiet, pointed reflection can go a long way.
Neptune’s move into Aries begins to influence this same area of your life in subtle ways. Over the next year or so, you may feel your boundaries blending in new ways, especially in close relationships or shared commitments. This can be a powerful time for healing and creativity, but it’s also important to stay grounded in clarity. If things feel murky, take your time and trust your instincts.

If you’re single, this energy might show up through collaborations or moments that reflect something back to you.

Neptune moves slowly, and this is a season of learning how to trust both your vision and your clarity.

It doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul, but small, steady improvements can help you feel more grounded and productive. Keep things simple and workable.

But it won’t all be smooth sailing—cosmic shifts may bring some challenges. Venus goes retrograde on March 1, stirring up emotions in relationships and personal values.

Smoking a joint with your siblings is a sacred teenage tradition, something that bonds you across clouds of smoke—a furtive secret you all keep from your parents. For the five Savocchi siblings, it seemed an innocent enough past time during their childhood in Queens. But it was also prequel to their eventual entry into New York’ adult-use cannabis industry.
Now, on the streets of Tribeca, locals, tourists, and medical patients alike can stop and smell both the literal and cannabis flowers of Alto dispensary. It’s quite literally a family affair—siblings André, Stephanie, Nicole, Daniela, and Sarah, and parents Guido and Sandra man the ship and tend the bar, even as most of them juggle day jobs (for now).
“It’s been a wild ride to get here.”
Nicole Savocchi
The five siblings smoked together, but their parents were hip too—it was Guido’s cannabis arrest in the ‘90s that qualified them for the license, though the interest had been there for years. Sandra was the first to alert the family after hearing about the passing of the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act in 2021.
“I heard it on the radio going to work,” she says. “When I heard that this program was available, I’m like, ‘this is for us.’ Right away, I phoned André, and I said, ‘I just heard this, this and this. It’s going to be a difficult process I hear, but we have to do it.’ And he ran with it.”
André is the baby of the family, but he’s the driving force behind Alto. He’d delved the deepest into the cannabis world, including research in other states, and is the only sibling full-time at the store. During its intense renovation, he donned a white hazmat suit and got his hands dirty.
“At times, it definitely kind of feels like we’re building a plane as we’re flying it, just trying to navigate this new landscape. To now be open, we’re all just definitely happy to be here and be a part of the Tribeca community. There’s definitely a unique synergy and chemistry in our work.”
André Savocchi
He also curates the store’s menu, which includes multi-state brands like Wyld Gummies, Kiva Confections, and Select vapes as well as local hits like MFNY concentrates and Umami flower. The menu has to reflect all the multitudes of New York, just like the shop’s environment.
Customers waltzing through Tribeca’s artsy alleys won’t find anyone not named Savocchi on the floor by design. It should feel like coming to your cool family friend’s house, whether you want something to liven up your evening or have a need for something medicinal.
If you don’t partake, you can still buy the other kind of flowers in the front of the store. Alto’s Tribeca shop also has a second-floor space that will one day (Office of Cannabis Management permitting) become an events and consumption lounge.
Until then, if you’re in Tribeca, why not stop in and smell the flowers?
“I think when we’re all together, we’re not workers. We all have that level of dedication. People walk in, they’re like, ‘Oh, this feels so nice here. This definitely feels like a family vibe,’ even before they even know we’re family. They can actually feel that energy.”
