How Did 4/20 Become All About Weed?

The legend has it that a group of high school teenagers in Northern California back in the 1970s used to gather at 4:20 pm to light it up. The group called themselves the “Waldos,” and the reason they chose 4:20 pm as their meet-up time is because they had to work with each other’s schedules, in between school, studying, and sports. 

Eventually, 4:20 became a code for smoking marijuana, and it spread like wildfire – all thanks to The Grateful Dead. You can read more about that here.
