420 is a term that is often associated with marijuana culture. It is believed to have originated in the 1970s in California, where a group of high school students would meet at 4:20 pm to smoke weed.
April 20th (4/20) is celebrated as a holiday by some marijuana enthusiasts. It is often marked by smoking or consuming marijuana products.
There are various theories as to why 420 became associated with marijuana. Some believe it was the police code for marijuana smoking in progress, while others think it has to do with the number of chemical compounds found in marijuana.
In some states in the US, 420 is also associated with the legalization of marijuana. For example, in Colorado, Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana for recreational use, was passed on November 6th, 2012 - which is also known as "Green Wednesday".
In recent years, some companies and organizations have used 420 as a marketing tool to sell marijuana-related products and services. For example, some dispensaries may offer special deals on 420, while others may hold events or concerts
