What 420 Means and Where it Came From 

“420” is a term that originated in cannabis culture, often used to refer to the consumption of marijuana. Its exact origins are debated, but one popular theory traces it back to a group of high school students in California in the 1970s who would meet at 4:20 p.m. to search for a rumored abandoned cannabis crop. Over time, “420” became a code word for marijuana consumption and evolved into a symbol of cannabis culture and counterculture more broadly. Today, April 20th (4/20) is celebrated as a day of cannabis appreciation and activism in many parts of the world.
