CELEBRATING CANNABIS IN TORONTO & SAULT STE MARIE : THE ORIGIN AND SIGNIFICANCE OF 4/20

April 20th, known as 4/20, is a date revered by cannabis enthusiasts worldwide. This seemingly arbitrary day holds a profound significance in cannabis culture, but its origins and evolution into a global celebration are often shrouded in mystery. Let’s delve deeper into the history of 4/20 and explore why it has become synonymous with the celebration of cannabis.

Origins & Spread of the Cannabis Tradition

The genesis of 4/20 can be traced back to the early 1970s in San Rafael, California. A group of high school students, known as the “Waldos,” stumbled upon a treasure map that allegedly led to a hidden cannabis crop abandoned by a Coast Guard service member. Despite their unsuccessful attempts to find the mythical crop, the Waldos established a ritual of meeting at 4:20 p.m. after school to embark on their search. Although they never found the elusive stash, the term “4:20” became their secret code for cannabis consumption.

The term “4/20” gradually permeated the local cannabis culture of San Rafael High School and soon gained traction among cannabis enthusiasts across California. As the counterculture movement of the 1970s embraced cannabis, the significance of 4/20 continued to grow. With the advent of the internet era, the term transcended geographical boundaries, spreading its roots globally and becoming a symbol of cannabis culture.
