Hall of Strains- Salem, OR
Welcome to the Hall of Strains, where we explore the rich history and culture of cannabis. Today, we're taking a closer look at the origins of 4/20, a day that has become synonymous with cannabis culture.
The history of 4/20 dates back to the early 1970s in San Rafael, California. A group of high school students, who called themselves "the Waldos," used to gather at 4:20 pm every day to smoke cannabis. The term "420" became their secret code for cannabis use, and they would often use it to arrange meetups and discuss their favorite strains.
The Waldos were friends with the band the Grateful Dead, and their use of the term "420" quickly spread to the band's fans, known as "Deadheads." The Grateful Dead would often play in San Rafael, and the Waldos would hand out flyers with the term "420" on them, encouraging fans to join them in smoking cannabis.
The term "420" eventually made its way into the wider cannabis culture, and April 20th became known as a day to celebrate cannabis. In the early 1990s, a group of cannabis activists in California started using 4/20 as a day to hold rallies and protests in support of cannabis legalization.
Today, 4/20 is celebrated around the world as a day to advocate for cannabis reform and to celebrate the plant's many benefits. From festivals to concerts to smokeouts, there are many ways to mark the occasion.
So whether you're a longtime cannabis enthusiast or just curious about the plant's history and culture, take a moment to reflect on the origins of 4/20 and the role it has played in the cannabis community. And remember to enjoy responsibly and always follow local laws and regulations.
