What Is 420 & Why It Matters
420 is the original cannabis celebration. It all started with a group of high schoolers in California in the 1970s. They called themselves “the Waldos” and would use “4:20” as their code to meet up and smoke weed.
The term caught on with stoner publication High Times, and the rest is history. Today, 420 is a veritable stoner Christmas, with cannabis sales and community events in states around the country.
