Here's what went down at the busiest event in cannabis.
It’s not every day consumers get the chance to smoke with a star. If you were lucky enough to peek under the big black tent at Hall Of Flowers 2024, you likely saw rapper and weed icon Wiz Khalifa sparking back-to-back joints.
Wiz’s tent was just one of the many “lit” attractions at this year’s event. The tunes were blasting, the vibes were high, and the crowd was even higher once the clock struck 4:20 pm. Why? French rolling paper company OCB propped up a sign inviting consumers to meet at 4:20 pm and attempt to break the world record for most joints lit at one time.
And yes, mission accomplished. But that’s not all that went down this hazy weekend. Read on to learn more about the ‘Smoke Out’ with Khalifa Kush, our favorite brands of the weekend, and other HOF (Hall Of Flowers) highlights

Walking under Khalifa Kush’s massive tent was like entering its own branded dispensary. Decorated in the brand’s staple black and yellow colors and propped with pictures of the brand’s famed strains, the KK (Khalifa Kush) tent was undoubtedly one of the hottest attractions at HOF 2024.
Consumers got the chance to see a few Khalifa Kush x Stündenglass Gravity Bongs being put to good use by the rapper himself alongside his KK crew and friends. Maria del Pilar Vargas, known online as Queenpee, was also in Wiz’s presence discussing which strains to spark next, including Baby Turtle, Khalifa Mints, and Violet Sky.
The crowd got bigger as the day went on and word spread about the Smoke Out with Wiz Khalifa. In hopes of keeping the vibes high, KK handed out some free pre-rolls featuring the brand’s newest unreleased strain.
Although outdoors, I don’t think there’s ever been a smokier tent than at Khalifa Kush’s HOF booth. The crowd was buzzing with excitement to get their hands on some of KK’s finest weed and spark up beside the rapper himself. When 4:20 rolled around, even more people gathered to help beat the world record of most joints lit at one time.
Stoners far and wide throughout the United States gathered for a dank weekend in Santa Rosa. They expected to see and try the cream of the crop, whether that’s a toilet paper roll-sized blunt or a famed Studenglass Gravity Bong.
At our quaint booth at O13, we treated consumers to just that. Our team happily put together hand-made flower bouquets to spread a different type of plant love, courtesy of Wilde & Lovely. And since they’re such a hot commodity with our community, we handed out our signature Bic Herb Lighters to ensure consumers were never too far from a spark when they needed one.
Some festivalgoers stopped by for a hit from a Stündenglass Gravity Bong, including the Tyson 2.0 version and the Pineapple Glass Globes. We also let the crowd spin our wheel for a chance to win free Herb products or merch.
Our favorite part? Some serious networking went down between the industry’s finest brands. Here are Herb’s favorite companies from Hall of Flowers 2024.
