4 20...What does it mean? People are desperately searching the web to know what does 420 signify. Well, 4 20 (pronounced four-twenty) is associated to cannabis culture. The term was coined from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971.

According to an April 2009 article on the The Huffington Post, the group called itself the Waldos because its members hung out by a wall after school.The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana near the Louis Pasteur statue.

Since then, 4 20 celebrations across North America began. On April 20 people around North America gather to celebrate and consume cannabis. The University of Colorado has an annual 4 20 celebration that draws thousands of people. There are also 4 20 events being held in New York’s Central Park.
