“Do you have a legal prescription for that?”
Cheba Hut, the cannabis culture sub-shop chain founded near Arizona State University in 1998, isn’t asking. In celebration of 4/20 — the day pot-smokers come together and often lobby for total decriminalization of the wacky weed — Cheba Hut locations across the nation are offering a $4.20 special to satisfy your cravings this Wednesday, April 20.
For less than five bucks, you can score a four-inch “nug” sub with chips and a drink, served in a collectible Frisbee. You can also relax to some groovy local music and partake in activities that probably seem like a much better idea when you’re stoned, such as Kool-Aid dunk tanks and pickle juice chugging contests.
Even so, history tells us that Cheba Hut will be packed tomorrow. Last year, they sold over 10,000 subs on 4/20; this year, they’re aiming for 15,000. That’s a lotta stoners.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Now that Prop 203 is in effect, folks who get stopped tomorrow with a joint or two in the car can pull out their doctor’s notes and get a free pass straight to the Hut for some munchie relief. And the rest of us without scripts — well, as we said, Cheba Hut isn’t going to harsh your mellow by questioning your serious craving for a “toasted” sub.
