The Origins of 420

Contrary to some persistent urban myths, 420 didn’t originate from the police radio code for someone busted smoking cannabis, nor is it the number of active cannabinoids in weed. The now widely-accepted story actually starts in the 1970s with a group of high (literally) school students from San Rafael High School in Marin County, California, who called themselves “The Waldos”. Why the name? Because they liked hanging out by a wall. Simpler times, huh?

These now-legendary stoners would meet at 4:20pm by a statue of Louis Pasteur on their school grounds to search for a rumored abandoned cannabis crop. They’d say “420 Louis” to each other as a secret code – part treasure hunt, part smoke sesh. Over time, the term was shortened to “420” and became synonymous with smoking. Eventually this spread through their connections (one of the Waldos, Dave Reddix, landed a job as a roadie for Grateful Dead bassist, Phil Lesh), and before long, “420 was rolling off the tongues of Deadheads, college kids, and eventually, stoners everywhere.

“We were not trying to start a movement” said original Waldo Steve Capper in an interview. “We were just goofing around after school.” But hey – what started as a code turned into a culture. Thank the Waldos.

There are, naturally, still people who will dispute this as the origin of who really invented 420 - but the main takeaway is we have a day of thanksgiving for cannabis where we can celebrated the green goddess.

How To Celebrate 420

So, what’s on your 420 agenda this year? The beauty of this day is you can make it your own – solo vibes or social celebration, chill, or full send. Here are a few ideas to brighten up the occasion:

Smoke Session With Friends: Sometimes, all you need is your favourite people, your favourite bud, and a good playlist.

Attend a 420 Event: From smoke-outs to concerts to cannabis expos, if there’s one happening near you – or within easy travelling distance – these are a great way connect with like-minded people, pay tribute to your favourite herb, and have fun. You could even hop online and have a party – virtual 420 parties are a thing now.

Throw A 420 Party: Why not host the ultimate party yourself? You’ve still got a couple of days to shop for supplies and round up your crew. Decorate, bring out the edibles, and get your games ready.

420 Party Ideas

Create A chill zone with comfortably seating, fairly lights and some ambient tunes where your guests can go to unwind if they hit the herb too hard.

Have some CBD products on hand to ramp down the effects just in case anyone does it.

Set up a cannabis bar with different strains. You could label them by their flavor and effects (like “fruity and energizing” or “earthy and couch lock”).

Stock up on munchies – think snack aisle as opposed to snack table. People are going to get hardcore peckish after a day of smoking.

Set the vibe with a themed playlist of stoner classics. Marley, Floyd, Cypress Hill – or whatever great bands you listen to while high.

Designate a rolling station – bonus points if you can lay on papers, ashtrays, grinders, lighters, bongs, and pipes.

Tip: Mark the invites BYOB – Bring Your Own Buds – to guarantee a wide buffet of superb strains.
