Today is April 20, but to many it is the unofficial weed-themed holiday “420”.

The celebratory day of marijuana all started when California high schools would use the code “420” to plan to meet up at 4:20 pm to smoke with friends, because it was the perfect window of opportunity where they were out of school but their parents weren’t home from work.
