"420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty.) refers to consumption of cannabis and, by extension, a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture. The term originated from a group of schools in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana at the Louis Pasteur statue. According to an April 2009 article on The Huffington Post, the group called itself the Waldos because its members hung out by a wall after school. Writer Ryan Grim, citing interviews with anonymous Waldos, claims that the group met by the statue at 4:20 p.m. to begin a search for a crop of abandoned cannabis growing near Point Reyers that they had heard about. They never found the stash, Grim writes, but smoked plenty of marijuana while looking for it."
So there you have it Ripley.
