The Meaning Behind The 4/20 Secret Code
We’ve all heard it and maybe even said it, but knowing how it actually started is another story completely. Of course, we all know its association with drugs, in particular cannabis, but there’s a bit more to it.
It all began in the early 70s when a group of students at a high school in America came up with a secret code. If they said it to one another in the hallways at school, then they know they would be meeting to smoke later. Why 420? Well, that’s simply the time they would be meaning.
Yes, for over 40 years the 420 joke simply refers to 4:20 pm in the afternoon when the students were done with school and meet up.
Since then, it’s become huge and now you’ll struggle to find anyone who doesn’t know the phrase. But it is remarkable in a way that it spread the way it did in a time before internet trends.
