Let’s start with the legality of the substance. According to CSG.org, As of 2023, 20 states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational adult use of marijuana. With the remaining states that have not legalized marijuana, law enforcement enforcement in every state has a special code to identify Mary Jane. One common theory for the celebrated date being April 20th is due to California police use “420” as the penal code for marijuana, but there’s no evidence to support those claims.

As momentum picked up across the area, Soon 420 became code for smoking pot. Eventually 420 was converted to 4/20 on the calendar, thus the day of celebration was born. The 420 Waldos provided documented proof on their website to give legitimacy to these claims of the holiday originating in the 1970’s.
