What Is 420 (The Story Of)

Heyy everyone,

So today started out the same as blahh blahh blahhh BUT NO!
Today I found out about this almost secret celebration (If you can call it that) of 420 and didn't know what it was until I watched a few videos on it and so on,

So how did it start? (A brief history)
Well in San Rafael High School, in 1971, a group of 5 known as the 5 Waldos who heard about a nearby coastguard station that had been abandoned by the service member there as he could not serve there anymore, now this meant that he could not tend to his plot of 'weed' that was supposedly around there.
So the 5 decided that they would start to look for this land of which had the 'weed' on it. They said that they would meet up at 4:20PM at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur and search for it. They kept on reminding each other to meet up at 4:20.
Soon this concept of 4:20 spread across an entire generation and now on April 20th every year at 4:20PM people go and basically get high.

Did they ever find what they were looking for?
No. No they did not.

So there you go, a brief look at what 420 means
