4/20 is cannabis’ official holiday.
If you’re not into marijuana, 4/20 can feel like a day that’s just for stoners. But the truth is that 4/20 is a time to celebrate cannabis culture and its many accomplishments.
It can also be a time to smoke weed if you’re into it—and who isn’t?
Whether you’re planning to spend your day smoking some good herb or having fun without it, there are plenty of ways to celebrate 4/20!
There are lots of theories about where 4/20 originated, but one thing’s for sure: 420 isn’t an official code for police officers or dispatchers to indicate that someone is smoking weed.
There are all kinds of wild theories about the origins of 4/20. We have heard everything from it being connected to Hitler’s birthday(Which is super ironic and ludicrous to say the least. How can you associate the worlds kindest herb with one of the worlds most terrible people in history?) to it being the day cave men first started smoking. As interesting as these theories may seem, the answer is actually quite simple.
- There is no official code for police officers or dispatchers to indicate that someone is smoking weed.
- 420 isn’t an official code for police officers or dispatchers to indicate that someone is smoking weed. In fact, it’s not a secret number at all—it’s just the date April 20th written out in military time (20:04).
