This Day in Weed History – April 7: From Prohibition to Liberation (One Cookie at a Time)

April 7, 1933 — alcohol prohibition officially ended in the U.S. with the Cullen–Harrison Act going into effect, allowing Americans to legally crack open a beer again for the first time in 13 years.

So why does this matter for weed?

Because this date marks one of the earliest cracks in the prohibition era’s foundation — and paved the path for future reform movements, including the ongoing fight for cannabis legalization.

The truth is: what ended for alcohol in 1933 only began for weed. While folks were lining up at bars to toast freedom, the U.S. was already gearing up for a war on cannabis that would last nearly a century. It wasn’t until decades later that hemp laws started shifting, and we could finally imagine a world where something like a Higher Flour cookie could exist legally — and be deliciously normal.

How Higher Flour Is Reclaiming the Past

At Higher Flour, we see April 7 as more than a moment in alcohol history. It’s a reminder that times can change — and when they do, bold brands, passionate people, and powerful plants lead the way.

We reimagine prohibition-era shame with modern-day celebration.

We infuse our cookies with healing, joy, and rebellion.

We celebrate the end of one prohibition by actively pushing for the end of another — one edible at a time.

Because today, we don’t need a beer to celebrate freedom. We’ve got cookies that vibe higher, tinctures that chill deeper, and a community that’s helping re-write the edible experience.

How to Celebrate April 7, Higher Flour Style:

1. Bake your own revolution — or let us do it for you.

2. Light up the vibes with an infused cookie, mellow MCT oil tincture, or that dreamy topical you’ve been saving.

3. Reflect on the progress — and remind yourself how wild it is that your grandma can now buy CBD.

From one kind of prohibition to another, April 7 reminds us: joy always finds a way.

And at Higher Flour, we’re here to make sure it tastes really good when it does.
