Legend has it that the observance of marijuana on April 20 began with some high school students in California back in the 70's. They say that a bunch of high school students in San Rafael California chose to meet in the woods at 4:20 one day after school to search for a plot of cannabis plants that was reported to be growing nearby. They say that "420" became their code word when talking about Aunt Mary. Since then a number of events have been built around 4-20 including the Cannabis Cup and the World Hemp Expo Extravaganza. These types of events aim to promote the legality of marijuana, the health benefits that many experience from injestion of marijuana, and the harmlessness to others that underlies the need for legalization. Other events promote the viability of hemp and marijuana use as an environmental and social benefit to humankind.
I will personally be celebrating this day by wearing my hemp socks, the most comfortable and breathable socks I own, walking down to my local weed shop and purchasing my favorite way to inject marijuana, Fremont Freaks. They are a delicious dried fruit that has been dipped in a sugar loaded with THC! YUM!
How will YOU be celebrating 420?
