There are many theories about the origin of 420. A lot of people ask what is 420 and there is no one answer to that question. Some people say that it is a code amongst marijuana users. One theory says 420 came from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place. Another story says 4:20 started as the official meeting time to smoke marijuana by a group of guys in the 1970′s.
Some users feel that marijuana is best smoked at 4:20 to enhance appreciation of the plant. April 20 or 4/20 is another usage which means it’s time to sow the plant before the summer. Whatever the real story is, 420 remains an important part of the marijuana culture since the 1970s.
