420 (cannabis culture)

The term "420" is a cultural code associated with cannabis use, originating in the 1970s from a group of high school students in California who used it as a secret nickname for smoking marijuana. Over time, "420" has become a symbol of cannabis culture and advocacy, often used to refer to April 20th (4/20), a day when enthusiasts celebrate and promote legalization efforts. It represents a shared identity among users and supporters, highlighting themes of relaxation, countercultural movement, and evolving societal attitudes toward marijuana.
