The number “420″ was first used in reference to marijuana in the 1970s by a group of high school friends in California. They called themselves “The Waldos” and met every day at 4:20pm after school to smoke pot. They were also fans of the Grateful Dead, and popularized the use of “420″ as code for smoking pot amongst the Dead subculture. he actual 4/20 day as a celebration and protest started in Vancouver in 1995.
Canadian cannabis activist and media-dubbed “Prince of Pot” Marc Emery (who is currently a political prisoner in the USA – see www.FreeMarc.ca) was asked by his employees at his revolutionary headshop HEMP BC store if they could host a day-long protest rally on April 20th to celebrate cannabis and call for legalization.
