The Origin and Evolution of 420
The story of 420 as a term beloved by cannabis culture is as intriguing as it is whimsical. Stemming from a humble beginning in the early 1970s, 420 originated with a group of high school students in San Rafael, California, known as “the Waldos.” The term was coined after their ritual of meeting at 4:20 pm to search for an abandoned cannabis crop they had learned about. Although they never found the elusive crop, the term 420 became a code for their cannabis-related activities. Over the years, 420 evolved from a time of day to a worldwide event celebrated on April 20th, becoming synonymous with cannabis appreciation and activism.
Why Celebrate 420?
The significance of 420 goes beyond casual cannabis use; it is a day rooted in advocacy, camaraderie, and liberation. For many, April 20th serves as a day to celebrate the progress made towards cannabis legalization and social acceptance. It’s also a time for the community to gather, share stories, and enjoy the cannabis culture freely. Beyond the festivities, 420 prompts discussions on important issues like drug policy reform, medical research, and the economic impact of legalization.
How People Celebrate 420
Celebrations of 420 vary widely, but they all share a common theme of community and cannabis.
