4/20 History: Where the Date Came From

The origin of 4/20 traces back to a group of high school students in San Rafael, California, in 1971. Calling themselves “the Waldos,” they used the code “420” to refer to a meeting time, 4:20 PM, when they would gather to look for a rumored abandoned cannabis crop near Point Reyes. The crop was never found, but the term took hold.

It spread through Grateful Dead music fan networks over the following decades and was picked up by High Times magazine in the 1990s, cementing it as a nationwide reference.

Today, dispensaries and cannabis communities across the country mark the date as a moment to gather, celebrate, and reflect on how far the plant has come. It feels fitting that a community-rooted dispensary in a Vermont town would be one of the places doing exactly that.
