What Does 420 Mean?
Ever wonder why people refer to “420”? What does 420 mean? April 20th, or 420 (“four-twenty”), is a day for Marijuana enthusiasts worldwide to gather and commemorate all things related to cannabis, its cultivation, and consumption. The meaning originated as a way for a group of San Rafael high school students in California in the 1970s to signal each other to meet after school (4:20 p.m.) and smoke pot. As this code for marijuana spread, it morphed into variations, including the adjective “420 friendly,” referring to businesses and lodgings that have made accommodations for their patrons’ legal consumption of marijuana.
