There's a story out there explaining it and yes, its as dumb as you'd think. What's hilarious is my local dispensary email-bombed me all day yesterday like I was going to stock up and get super baked on a Monday, lol.

I had heard some say its police code for a drug offense, but thats not true, other story is some kids made it up as the time after school that they would meet up and smoke pot...this sounds plausible.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
As I know it, it was about the time most high schoolers got home back in tjedau and so it was approximately the time that they would spark up.
Is this thing STILL on? | Skol Vikes! |
420" originated in 1971 with five California high school students, known as "the Waldos," who used the code to meet at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana near a statue of Louis Pasteur at San Rafael High School. The term spread through Grateful Dead fan circles, evolving into a widespread code for cannabis consumption and becoming an international holiday on April 20.

I used to work in a marketing department and they would scour calendars for something, ANYTHING they could use to sell more product. Black Friday and Cyber Monday became big sellers, so then we'd start doing shit for even the most obscure "holidays." We never touched 4/20 for obvious reasons, but National Taco Day, National Superhero Day, Star Wars Day (May the 4th), etc., etc.
