The general myth behind the significance of the number 420, the date 4/20 or the time of 4:20 in the cannabis consuming culture has been debated for years but the general consensus of the origin of the ritual goes as follows. In the early 1970s a small group of Hippie Stoners at San Rafael High School in Northern California used to meet at a designated location (a particular wall in San Rafael, CA). They met every day after school to smoke weed at 4:20 p.m. They did this so regularly that among members of the group (known as "the Waldos") the expression "420" became a general euphemism for "time to light up." The catchphrase spread beyond their immediate circle; beyond the high school they attended; and ultimately beyond California so that within a decade or two pot smokers were using it across the country and indeed the world over.
