However, the majority of people believe that 420 Day began in California. In the 1970s, a group of adolescents from Marian County’s San Rafael High School would smoke marijuana every day at 4:20 p.m. The number 420 was adopted as their marijuana code.
The five students dubbed themselves the “Waldos,” after the school wall where they used to sit.
Letters, military records, and high school newspaper cuttings have all been used to corroborate the Waldos’ ancestors.
As a result, the word 420 became popular with the drug, and bands like The Grateful Dead marketed it.
