  • The History of 420

    Despite rumors that 420 originated from California's 420 penal code section for marijuana use, it actually dates back to a group of students -- "the Waldos" -- who attended San Rafael High School, in San Rafael, Calif., in 1971. One of the now grown men thought he had a map to a pot grove, so for weeks he and his friends gathered on campus at 4:20 p.m. to start their search. The term 420 became their code for the never successful excursion, in an attempt to hide what they were doing. Since then, the code became widely used and eventually turned into the 4/20 celebration on April 20.
