A History Lesson on the Origins of 4/20

We over here at Snewty don’t believe in doing anything just for the hell of it without knowing why.. so to all you smokers who are enjoying today you should at least know the origins of such holiday. Here you go…oh and I couldn’t resist posting the picture of the 4/20 Dunks that dropped last year.

According to Steven Hager, editor of High Times, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.
