Marijuana culture's high holiday, known as 4/20 , falls this year on Easter Sunday , as well as the last day of Passover .

Cannabis fans can celebrate in some unusual ways, including an “ Easter nug hunt” in Los Angeles , kosher-style THC gummies in New York and a “blaze and praise” drag brunch in Portland , Oregon .

There are 24 states that allow recreational marijuana and 14 others allowing it for medical purposes.

The movement recently has suffered some setbacks, with voters in Florida , North Dakota and South Dakota deciding not to adopt legalization measures last November .

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

A bipartisan group of senators last week reintroduced legislation that would ensure states can adopt their own cannabis policies.
