What Is 4/20? Origins and Common Myths
The 420 origins trace back to 1971, when a group of five high school students from San Rafael, California (known as the “Waldos”) began using “420” as a code to meet at 4:20 p.m. after school. Their plan was to search for a rumored abandoned cannabis crop. Over time, the phrase dropped the backstory and became shorthand for cannabis culture itself.
The term spread through the Grateful Dead fan community and reached a national audience in 1991 when High Times published a flyer promoting a 4/20 gathering. April 20 then became the natural date to mark what had started as a time on the clock.
What is 420, at its core? It’s a shared cultural moment that has grown into something larger: a platform for community, a day for cannabis advocacy, and one of the biggest retail events of the year for the industry.
