Conception Nurseries Makes 4/20 A Paid Holiday

Cannabis tissue culture specialist Conception Nurseries has made April 20th — widely known as an international holiday for the celebration of cannabis and the legalization movement — a paid day off for all employees at its California and Oregon operations.

"The paid holiday is the company's way of showing gratitude for the hard work and dedication of our employees," stated Kevin Brooks, founder and CEO of Conception Nurseries. "Taking the day also gives us a chance to reflect on what our hard work in this industry is for—where we have come from and where we are going."

Conception provides the industry a way to preserve genetics indefinitely. The company offers a competitive royalty structure to breeders and is committed to supporting the continued work of these tastemakers in creating diverse and high performing genetics.

On the heels of newly legalized adult-use and medical markets in Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky, this year's 4/20 holiday is poised to be the most widely celebrated yet. By instituting a company-wide day off, Conception honors the roots from which it came and the many decades of activism it took to achieve widespread cannabis legalization.

Conception has tissue culture labs and supporting offices in Sacramento, California and Hillsboro, Oregon.
