The history of 420

Every April 20, the world is on fire when people come together at 4:20 in the morning or afternoon to chill and enjoy cannabis. But how did this crazy number code actually become so famous? There are tons of legends and theories, but one of the coolest stories comes from the early 70s.

There was this high school clique from San Rafael, California, called the "Waldos". They used to meet at 4:20 in the afternoon to look for a secret weed plantation. They never found the plantation, but 4:20 became their regular time to relax and smoke weed. The 420 vibe then spread through the Grateful Dead community and soon everywhere.

Over the past few decades, 420 has become more than just an insider code. It has become a huge, global movement. Every April 20th, cities around the world organize big events to promote the legalization of cannabis and educate people about the medical and economic benefits of the plant.

Thanks to the internet and social media, the 420 phenomenon has exploded even further. Memes, posts and event info about 420 flood the web every year, ensuring that more and more people are jumping on the cannabis bandwagon. Mega fat, right?
