This year’s edition provides an occasion for activists to reflect on how far their movement has come, with recreational pot now allowed in 21 states and the nation’s capital. Here’s a look at the holiday’s history . Why 4/20? The origins of the date, and the term “420” generally, were long murky. Some claimed it referred to a police code for marijuana possession or that it arose from Bob Dylan’s “Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35,” with its refrain of “Everybody must get stoned” — 420 being the product of 12 times 35. But a consensus has emerged that it started with a group of bell-bottomed buddies from San Rafael High School in California, who called themselves “the Waldos.” A friend’s brother was afraid of getting busted for a patch of cannabis he was growing in the woods at Point Reyes, so he drew a map and gave the teens permission to harvest the crop, the story goes .During the fall of 1971, at 4:20 p.m., just after classes and football practice, the group would meet at the school’s statue of chemist Louis Pasteur, smoke a joint, and head out to search for the Weed patch. They never did find it, but their private lexicon — “420 Louie” and later just “420″ — would take on a life of its own. The Waldos saved postmarked letters and other artifacts from the 1970s referencing “420,” which they later kept in a bank vault, and when the Oxford English Dictionary added the term in 2017, it cited some of those documents as the entry’s earliest recorded uses . How is it celebrated? With Weed, naturally! Some of the celebrations are bigger than others; Hippie Hill in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park typically draws thousands. In Seattle, one movie theater is offering a “dank double feature,” with Cheech and Chong’s “Up In Smoke” as well as the 1930s “Reefer Madness” era cult classic “Assassin of Youth.” I'm going to see a great band tonight I'm celebrating in a very typical way. I wish you all a very Happy 420! "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

The story I have heard, is that weeds burs at a temp of 420. I don't smoke it; smoking anything is hard for my lungs since I had severe pneumonia. I did have a CBD or whatever it is called in a beer the other day, I slept like a rock that night. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey.
