What is the meaning behind 4/20? What should know about the weed day

Bob Marley has nothing to do with the fact that April 20 is the unofficial marijuana holiday. The reggae pioneer, who, in contrast to popular belief, was neither born nor died nor died on April 20.

Calling all stoners: 4/20 is just around the corner. The unofficial marijuana holiday is April 20 and yes, it is on Easter Sunday.

This is not the first and will certainly not be the last time 4/20 and Easter Sunday. And although the two events are not directly connected to each other, some beginners and consumers are welcome to take part in both.

But why is a random day in April the “grass vacation”? The marijuana industry has exploited the day to cross additional offers, and some non-marijuana chains are in harmony and offer specialties for those who may be in a particularly pinching mood.

Here is what you should know about the unofficial vacation.

What is 4/20?

4/20 or 420 refers to April 20, the day that has become the unofficial marijuana holiday for consumers.

Why is April 20th the unofficial marijuana vacation?

The story behind how 4/20 became unofficial marijuana vacation is unclear, but there are some popular theories.

Some believe that the holiday is representative of “420”, a radio code used for the police to display marijuana. Others combine the “public holiday” to Bob Dylans song “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” with his refrain “Everyone has to be stoned” and the product of multiplying 12 x 35 is according to PBS 420.

The most likely story, however, is one that concentrates in a group of friends of the California High School in the 1970s.

According to PBS, a brother of one of these friends allegedly grown marijuana in the forests near the school and was paranoid about being caught. He drew a map of the search for the pot and gave it to the friendship group for harvesting.

One day in the autumn semester of 1971, exactly at 4:20 p.m., the friends smoked a joint and made their way into the forest to look for the stock. Although they could never find it, their code “420” noticed when the friendship group hung a fair amount around the Grateful Dead according to PBS.

No, 4/20 has nothing to do with Bob Marley

And despite what some people think, no, Bob Marley was not born on April 20. The reggae legend was born on February 6, 1945, and he did not die on 4/20 either. He died on May 11, 1981 at the age of 36.
