What is 4/20′s origin and meaning?
April 20 actually has some horrible connotations outside of marijuana. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. And on April 20, 1999, the Columbine High School shooting took place. Neither of those are reasons people smoke weed on 4/20, though.
It took off from there, and by 1990 marijuana publication High Times was using the term 420 and eventually bought the website 420.com.
There are 4/20 festivals all over the country, with Colorado being a hotbed for events as marijuana is legal there and the culture has exploded. You can access a massive database of events and festivals here.
