April & Bobby

Each November, my company HIGH TIMES hosts The Cannabis Cup—the world’s biggest marijuana festival in Amsterdam. It was here, on Thanksgiving Day 2006, that I met the love of my life, April Price.

Since she was from Phoenix and I from New York, we spent the next year flying across the country to see each other—often at other pot-themed events. In August 2007, we embarked on a two-week desert odyssey—camping in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, a week at Burning Man, and a hot-tub weekend in Vegas. By the end of the trip, I knew she was my soul mate and asked her to move in with me. In May 2008, she packed up her belongings and we drove cross-country together. She’s been with me ever since.

This November, we returned to Amsterdam for our fourth Cannabis Cup together. It was there, on a candlelight canal cruise in the City of Diamonds, that I dropped to my knee and asked her to be my wife. Tearfully, she replied, “I would be honored!” After the cruise, I brought her to our favorite pot-friendly bar Barney’s Uptown, where our friends were waiting to toast us with weed, hashish, and champagne.
