What is 4/20?
April 20th, better known as 4/20, is a day deeply rooted in cannabis culture. Recognized worldwide, it's become a moment for reflection, celebration, and solidarity among cannabis enthusiasts. From social gatherings to special releases, 4/20 highlights the progress and passion behind the plant.
How Did 4/20 Begin?
The term "420" started with a group of high school friends in the early 1970s in San Rafael, California. Calling themselves "The Waldos," they used the code "420" to plan meetups at 4:20 p.m. to search for a rumored cannabis grow. Although their treasure hunt came up empty, their code lived on, eventually making waves through Grateful Dead fans and spreading across cannabis culture.
When Did 4/20 Become a Cannabis Holiday?
What began as a simple code grew into a powerful tradition. By the 1990s, 4/20 was gaining traction nationally, thanks to media attention and cannabis advocacy movements. Over time, it evolved into a day to honor cannabis freedom, spotlight legalization efforts, and enjoy all that the plant has to offer.
