We’ve all heard the phrase 4/20 but do you know how that came about? In the 1970s when a group of teenagers from San Rafael High School in Marian County would ritualistically smoke ma*****na at 4:20 each day. The number 420 became their code for ma*****na.
The five students called themselves the "Waldos," which referenced the wall they would sit on at their school. The origin of the Waldos has been documented in letters, military records and high school newspaper clippings to corroborate these origins. Subsequently, the term 420 ultimately became synonymous with the drug and was promoted by bands like The Grateful Dead.
