4/20 or April 20th is National Weed Day. Legend has it that back in the 1970’s, a group of students at San Rafael High School, who became known as the “Waldos,” met everyday at 4:20 p.m. to smoke pot in front of a statue.

Over time 420 became a code for getting high. It was conjectured that 420 is a police code for marijuana use, but this is not true.

4/20 is now a counter-cultural holiday. There are many “smoke-outs” held on this day around the world in protest of current marijuana laws.
