420 (cannabis culture)
An informal counterculture holiday celebrated worldwide on April 20 that honors cannabis appreciation and advocacy.
420 originated in the early 1970s among a group of high school students in California who used the term as a code for meeting to smoke cannabis. Over time it has become an internationally recognized date for marijuana-related events, rallies, and social gatherings. Enthusiasts often celebrate by advocating for legalization and reform of cannabis laws. Major public gatherings take place in cities such as Denver, San Francisco, and Vancouver. Despite its unofficial status, 420 has become a symbol of cannabis culture and community.
