April 20 has become an international counterculture holiday based on the celebration and consumption of cannabis. Events typically advocate for cannabis liberalization and legalization. Vivian McPeak, a founder of Seattle’s Hempfest, states that 4/20 is “half celebration and half call to action”.

Happy day to all who celebrate!

    The first High Times mention of 4:20 smoking and a 4/20 holiday… erroneously attributed the origin of the term to a police code

    Police code/law is where I thought 420 came from, but apparently that’s incorrect.

    TIL!
